Screw Bush and his tax cuts and all of you idiotic republicans who have never offered a healthcare plan to begin with so shut up you so called conservative idiots!
Why is it racist to describe someone as looking like a monkey, if its true? If someone said, "Ross Perot looks like a chimp", because of his big ears, is that racist?
@reno93535 why would anyone have learned their lesson after voting for Obama, he hasn't been in office long enough to have a rep. & yet Bush is hated by the entire world. Anyone who supported Bush has NO CREDABILITY at this point. You have to wait A WHILE before you can criticize Obama. I hope you learned your lesson, if not, you need to watch this again:
watch?v=f_A77N5WKWM
There is no excuse for criticizing anyone after seeing that.
You concede racist descriptions of African Americans as apes.
The fact that this Stimulas Plan was attributed to President Obama, and that he is Black.
But you don't see it.
Your example is confusing. Are you saying that because you were called a primate by teachers, parents and your boss, that's ok to call an Afriacn American a primate, ape or monkey.
"They'll have to get someone else to write the next Stimulas Bill." After being shot two times.
@mizzlehotch777 I have no problem with arguing government regulation vs free market, or tax cuts vs none, healthcare vs none, my only big issue is when one party starts 2 wars, one before they were finished with the 1st, the lies about the intentions, even after it was proven Iraq had no connections to 9/11:
watch?v=f_A77N5WKWM
After seeing that clip, there is no excuse to support what Bush did because of his party status, that wasn't dem or repub, it was just flat out wrong.
racists have a history of calling african american's apes, yes. i've been called an undeveloped primate by everybody from teachers to parents to my boss because i was acting stupid. just because Barack Obama is black you cry racism? it's all very circumstantial, and very thin
IT'S NOT RACISM!! JESUS!! the stimulus bill is so bad it's like a monkey wrote it, that is all. Keep pulling racism out of the air, it will never work.
"cutting taxes, cutting jobs". where do we get this guy? bush cut taxes and stimulated the economy, it raised revenue during his administration. the problem is he had to fix Katrina, and fight two wars, one of them debatable. Two wars and a natural disaster? You are going to spend alot of money!
yeah, stimulate revenue and economic growth in China when the tax cuts are invested outside the U.S.
tax cuts for the wealthy have given them more money then they know what to do with and they've turned Wall St. into a giant capitalist casino, where heads the wealthy win and tails the taxpayers lose -- the taxpayers now have to bail out the economy.
thank you for the second great depression you pro-tax cut people.
no, thank the irresponsible bankers and the politicians who lent out bad mortgages and endorsed shitty banking practices. thank freddie mac and fannie mae.
the government somehow thinks Keynes was right, which he wasn't. if u did ur research, you would find that in fact the rich will always get the biggest tax cut when talking strictly dollars. of course, they have more money to save, but when talking percentages the other classes got the bigger cuts. that's what i read in newsweek
Okay, I am going to say this. Anyone who thinks this cartoon is against President Obama needs to get their head out from between their butt cheeks. This is the New York Times were are talking about, not The Atlanta Journal Constitution. The New York Times is a paper that might be wide spread, but is mainly focused to the people of the state of New York, which has typically always voted Democrat. So, why would this paper print a cartoon that would offend it's target readers. Well, they wouldn't.
cut taxes you cut jobs? nooo this is a fiscal policy designed to increase demand? no, cos you'll have more money to spend, firms will hire more due to reduced costs? maybe im wrong?
Well, if you knew anything about the terms whites called blacks back in the days before the civil rights movement; you must know that one of the terms was "monkey".
It means something totally different to the blacks than it does to the whites.
It's like this: calling a jew a kike, then calling some other white man a kike. Who do you think would be more offended?
So because of something that happened 50 years ago, it makes it unacceptable to call 1 colored group something but its ok to call another group the same thing?
Yep you are biases by race thus racists. Sorry but civil rights movement was there to make people equal not equal with "feel good" exceptions. If a previous pres has presidence of being called a Moneky 1000s of times, Obama shold not have immunity against attack just because his skin is black!
context is what makes it racist...srry but racism is based in history...if someone drew a picture of obama calling him the n-word it would still be as racist as calling him a mockey
I didnt say it wouldnt be calling in a monkey in or out of context.. but saying that 1 race is acceptable to call a monkey and 1 race it isnt.... thats racist.
Racism =biased by race. Learn the definition and stop making BS excuses will ya!?
racism= a superior complex where u think a race of people are superior to another race of people...THAT IS THE REAL DEFINITION
Also no it isn't acceptable, the fact is calling friend stupid is not the same thing as calling someone with a mental disablity stupid, same rules apply, u can't call some ppl somethings because of HISTORICAL CONTEXT, that's the REAL world
Are also the reason why relatively simple definitions like "literally" are made into "really" or "actually" by other retarded people who simply write the definition incorrectly.
Retardation via internet must be stopped, its contagious and breeds. Please give to the cause to stop this disease!
you are trying to say i am warping definitions when i GAVE YOU THE DEFINITION FROM MY OWN DICTIONARY
if u need a 2nd opinion that I AM RIGHT
Here's the defin. Dictionary (dot) com gives: A belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is SUPERIOR and has the right to rule others.
"Words are added to dictionaries and meanings are changed... "
i know that idiot, but since dictionary (.) com is always up to date on all the current definitions, even the ever changing definitions as u have mentioned , your point is still null and void
FACT IS WHETHER IT IS NOW OR IN THE PAST YOUR DEFIN. OF RACISM IS WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You're right, You dumb ass, stupid faggot. I don't really believe this about you, but since it's my right. "Fuck you in your ass you monkey looking faggot."
So are you going to teach your kids to say whatever they want, no matter how disrespectful it is???? Freedom of speech is one thing, but letting your ignorance flow out of your mouth is another. "It is better to be silent, and be thought a fool, then to open your mouth and remove all doubt." Abraham Lincoln
That's pretty funny. The Rep. plan to give complete tax cuts, by cutting jobs (when the money doesn't trickle down). LOL! I guess that would be a tax cut.
How the FUCK is this racist? And why are people whining about it so much? Freedom of speech, people. People have the right to say our stupid new president is stupid.
Cartoonist and people with hateful hearts and minds are always careful to make insults that are sure to get a thumbs up from their racists throngs while wording it carefully enough that they can talk their way out of it. If he had changed the words "write the stimulus" to "sign the stimulus" he would have surely lost his job.
cosmo...I don't really give a shit either way... but this is cleary a racist cartoon. The punchline is that Obama is a monkey. If you want to argue that the Post has the right to publish racist cartoons...that's fine...but let's no kid ourselves.
....actually....I changed my mind on this. Since Obama didn't "write" the stimulus package the monkey doesn't technically represent Obama. I doubt most Post readers made this distinction. I'm pretty sure the cartoonist knew what was he doing...anyway...this shit will blow over by next week.
CB16000 I see you removed your post badmouthin me. But I'll tell you something you already know. First of all liberals are the only one's who talk to themselfs no one else wants to. Second, being a moron you should recognize one, so it could'nt possibly be me. Don't come back your not smart enough.
No, it is not associated with Obama. Anyone that can think for themselves would know it is not. Look it up, who wrote the stimulus bill? White congress men and women not Obama. He only signed it into law. There may have been a Black congress person that helped write it, but I still think it would be a stretch. It was not even referring to Obama, it does not look like Obama. Your only falling into believing that a monkey = black person = Obama which it does not. YOU associated it not them.
This cartoon is very violent. An animal has been shot dead. The officer who killed the animal says death is what happens if there is another stimulus bill.
President Obama promoted the first stimulus bill. He's all over the place promoting the stimulus.
What this cartoon suggests is if there is another stimulus bill, it will be shot dead.
It's not too farfetched to read into this that if President Obama promotes a second bill, that he will be shot.
bdowns I'm glad that someone else saw this in the same way I did. Forget about the racist aspect of the cartoon. The points you mentioned are far more disturbing. The cartoon basically advocates the gunning down of those we disagree with politically. Not to mention, that I don't like seeing depictions of shot up animals while I'm having my morning coffee.
The cartoonist, publishers knew what they were doing, that technicality about the word "write" vs "signed" was just their way of protecting themselves from backlash, but the BLATANT RACISM is OBVIOUS. Anyone who can't see that is possibly naive or just in denial. I agree it is hard to believe that in this day and age people can be so ignorant, but trust me there are a lot of idiots out there. Just read the comments on this thread if you have any doubt.
@jbaby007 You are so naive about racism having never been mistreated or discriminated against in your white life. Go back and get some history books and racism is alive and well despite having a black president.
The point is, we are not in the place we're it's over. I don't know why it is so hard to understand that the effects of racism are still being felt in this day and age. Black people are not mad because of what happened 300 years ago, we're upset because of what is happening to us today BECAUSE of the effects of what happened 300 years ago.
HEy dumbass liberals IT'S your president not ours. I would'nt even classify this idiot as a chimp. All conservatives are in Exile till you liberals dumbasses destroy yourselfs. By the looks of things it won't be long. My nephew works at the blackhouse and he says you can smell the difference. He's quiting can't stand the smells. All this in just a few months. This is disgraceful to a proud American heritage of white and beautiful presidents and first ladies.
I sure hope that all "conservatives" go into exile- where would you go that is white enough? South Africa is no longer under apartheid rule. You go beyond conservatism and well into fascism. Obama is already playing "rope a dope" with the Pubbies-giving them just enough rope to hang themselves with.
libsaresocialist Liberals may be socialist, but you sir, are a complete simpleton. Did your years of riding the short bus to school, make you hate the black kids who were riding the regular bus? Or did you get your butt kicked a few times by blacks who didn't know you had a racist Torret tick? Poor thing, you. The world is changing and blacks no longer take a back seat to inbred, hillbillies such as yourself.
retired70 - wow you are obiously from the generation of old fucked up bigots. Bet your are white ,have a fat ass, and smoke cigars. Probably talk with a drawl too.
I heard that Nancy Pelosi and her chimp have a closer relationship than most married couples. They reported that she takes baths with her chimp, has candle light dinners with him, and they drink wine from long stem glasses. He also loves brushing her hair and they sleep together. It was also reported that the chimp pines for Nancy Pelosi when she flys back to San Franisco. Michelle is furious! Aaaaaahhahahaha!

What's wrong with this cartoon? After all it does look like someone went ape with the taxpayer's money. Also, if you look at the way Obama exits Airforce One with both hands together loosly bouncing, in front of his waist, those hands do have a big leathery ape like appearance to them. I know the he is trying to look cool but his exit sure makes him look like a very skinny ape climbing down those Air Force One ramp steps.
The cartoon is NOT racist, and if the american people understood how their own government worked they wouldn't have this problem. Listen: The President does NOT write bills, Congress does. The President only signs or vetoes the bills THEY write. Therefore the chimp cannot be Obama! But people are so racially sensitive they see racism in everything.
In fact, if you automatically assumed the chimp to be Obama, what does that say about your own thought processes. Think about it.
that's simple. Bush cut jobs by creating no jobs during his 8 years. That's how he cuts taxes. When will people understand that Bush and his cronies have screwed all those people who thought his brand of capitalism was going to make them rich. suckers!!! only bush and his buddies struck gold. so many suckers. let's hope Obama can fix this before there's 25% unemployment.
Also, the government can't cut jobs (except government jobs, which did not happen at the federal level). Lower taxes means more money for businesses to spend on things like payroll. Maybe think a little harder about the logic of your conclusions.
The toilet flush at the end was appropriate. That's what I do after I make shit, too.
you need to read a book and quit listening to the drug addicted Limbaugh. He's wealthy. Quite listening to the wealthy -- they will keep poor, and now jobless.
You're the one associating the cartoon with Obama. He didn't write the stimulus bill, congress did. The joke is that the stimulus bill is so bad, a monkey could have written it. That's true, it is.
you are an idiot, sir. the stimulus bill was initiated by Obama. the cartoon has two officers committing murder. the paper should not be suggesting that the president should be murdered in any way. that falls under criminal assault in my book. those Post editors should be put on trial for their suggestion of shooting the president. The post is part of the right wing nut group that wants no government intervention at any cost if it doesn't help the super rich.
So now what? No Obama jokes because because he's black? Come on people...we as a nation have become way too sensitive. This is the United States of America and we have freedom of speech. Deal with it. This cartoon was poking fun of the ludicrously of the stimulus bill...like its so dumb maybe a monkey wrote it. Now what? No monkey jokes because we have a black president? UGH!
lisalisa49, just wanted to say i agree. And some other thougths of mine: I voted for Obama, but i have been disgusted with the attacks on whites by Obama supporters, and the continual insults made to white america. The problem is not white america, but people that can not let go of the past. The new generation had nothing to do with the past. Why do people imbrace the past and hate the new gen. for it? This cartoon has nothing to do with race. I feel black americans are their own worst enemy.
I voted for Obama. Not just because he was Black. I felt he was most qualified for the job. I simply cannot believe that you don't see all of the hate-filled acts committed against Obama and Blacks in general. The McCain supporter with the monkey & Obama sticker around it's head for starters. You speak nothing of the sort as if White America is on it's best behavior. How can we get over the past if it's constantly thrown in our face in mockery? You don't "feel" Black America at all!
So, is it an Obama joke or not? Personally, as a Black man - I couldn't care less. My problem is when you commit acts as such and act as though there is no racial under tone. Don't be a coward - say what you feel and stick by it.
One of the 'Obama cartoon controverseys' revolves around his blue lips. A Toronto Star cartoonist was censored for depicting him like this.
That odd colouration about the lipsalong with his bizzare verbal slipsmay mean hes getting transient ischemic attacks (he smokes). For an otherwise intelligent man, Obamas said some INCREDIBLY stupid things (e.g., the 57 states comment)
The irony of ironies would be that the American voters picked the youngest, but not exactly HEALTHIEST, candidate.
Anyone else notice how it came out on the same day Obushduh sent 17k more troops to Afghanistan? That's called a diversion. It's the media's job to piss off ignorant people so they don't get pissed at real things of substance.
Did you ever notice that everyone knew that Obama was shifting attention to Afghanistan. He ran on a platform of withdawing troops from Iraq which has nothing to do with military presence in Afghanistan. This isn't a diversion if you, I, and many american people already know about Afghanistan which your republican cheerleader Ann Coulter said was doing swimmingly.
Race baiting and the so called "racist" controversy over this nothing of a cartoon has only one purpose....to distract people from the fact that Obama is wiping out our economy, pretty much on purpose. That "stimulus" bill was nothing of the sort. Absolutely NOTHING about it was designed to stimulate anything...only to waste an absurd amount of money so that there is no more left to do anyting. The market reacted immediately with a 1000 point crash.
Thank you I agree with you.....our President is a great man, he has been working so hard to help our country our of this mess , we're so lucky to have a great man to be our leader, smart, kind , we must give him full support, because we need our good life back again. God Bless our country and our President Obama.
it really dosent matter cause what R PRESIDENT IS BLACK nd& it has already happened yuh cant do anythinq 2 chanqe sumthanq that happend a while aqo HATERS
Rupert, MCain, Bohner. Steele and Kantor's microscopic insect-testicles will look gorgeous when nailed high on the front door of The GOP Crime Family publicist : The New York Post. Perfection....pocket knife?. Let the GOP "culture-war" waged on all others now visit each fatted GOP banker, oil war planners, oil plantation CEO's and CFO's and its fat criminal boards of directors, visit personally each racist KKK fat punk & puss of engorged GOP-Likud-PNAC Crime Family entitlement. Light the fire
I use to go ny to shop and find deals now I think I'll go NJ. It even sounds cleaner. Thanks Plummer Guy for your post by way of Asathecomic. Your post appeared after his clip.Thanks again.
come on blacks!! get over it!!!! there's not gonna be change if you all complaining about this cartoon!! It is just a cartoon for god sake!!!! u all are not monkeys so does obama!!
After reading your post and your screen name, I can only assume that you are of Hispanic decent...you know nothing about Black history, Black presence or Black future. Your energy may be better spent helping your compadres get their drivers license
wow, without any further investigation u call me latino, infact i'm asian/white, who just moved to USA. it is the same as u think this NY post is racist, without thinking it from different prespectives. Your brain is so full of negative images of everything!!! the thing is stop complaining, ! this is why the blacks(in general) will never progress!
You can mark Black progress every night the Obama's go to sleep in the White House, which happened to be built by slaves.
You probably took a cozy flight to America because you couldn't make it in your own country. Blacks were brought here as slaves to build this country. Until you're spit on, raped, attacked by dogs, hung from a tree or dragged behind a pick up truck because of the color of your skin - shut your damn mouth about Blacks. You haven't EARNED the right to speak.
ok listen! the point is you're not a slave, got spit on, got rape, hung on the tree, or even dragged behind a pick truck because of u'r black!! so, why u're thinking of it so much like u have experienced any of those? One more thing, this is a free country and come the f%@k on this is youtube! I do have right to speak without permit from anyone, you silly!!
I'm talking about the modern day, not 40 years ago! In this modern day if anything happned against black it would be a big explosion in the news! simple!!! and I came from the place that even worse than the ghettos. I experienced the injustice against my ethnic backgroud, seeing my family property taken down, having some of my relatives raped and even burn by oil, because of our ethnic background. Do I whine about that?? HELL NO! I gotta move forward, that's the past!
You are soooo wrong. Google "white cop rapes Black woman in jonesboro, ga"..never heard about that huh? Blacks are mistreated, by White cops especially, on a daily basis. White police in south ga will pull Blacks over, write them a ticket, follow them home and search their houses without a search warrant. It happens daily. A black man in America cannot stand a chance if he cannot afford a good lawyer!
I'm Black - what in the hell do you know about MY life?
and WHY should I have to notice all of the mistreated that happened to black?? i never ask anyone to "feel" what asian american has face, and I guess none of asian american ask anyone about that!
Then when a black man rapes a white or other non-black woman considered not racist???
I think many blacks act out of the proper manner, which intimidating to other race, thats why the white cops did that thing to your people!
AND I don't know your live, and I don't wanna know!
So, you're saying that Blacks who suffer racism from police officers and others deserve it? That's the DUMBEST perception of racism ever! No one deserves to be mistreated regardless of what race they are.
You started out talking shit as if you know what goes on in America. Just because you got a plane ticket, free email and youtube doesn't qualify you to know what happens here.
EDUCATE yourself first before you continue to sound stupid and uninformed.
Who else in America has endured 400 years of slavery in America? What others complain about is their right and their business.
If you've only been here 2 years - you have NO idea what being Black in America means. If you're going to voice an opinion about ANYTHING - LEARN about it first...so that you don't appear uneducated.
It's not your English that's a problem. I can understand you. BUT, you "misconceptions" are eroneous!
well, that is the past! everyone knows that slavery once happened in here, but not in this time! I know that your ancestors had suffered and they fought every fights so that u will never experience life like theirs. so why your generation have to complain about slavery, infact u guys never experience slavery?
and actually slavery happened around the world. some of my ancestors were slaves for the welthier people at their time, but it never get exposed as much as slavery in here
we aren't around the world. We're in America. Again, you hadn't been here long enough to understand much of what I've said. You've been on the outside looking in. Until you've walked a mile in my shoes, you cannot feel none of what I've been through. The 60's weren't that long ago.
U don't get, u're ancestor were brought here(AMERICA), and I was talking about my ancestor who were slave in asia. Well, of course everyone will walked in their own shoes. the fact is, U CAN'T draw anyone to feel what u feel. same as u can't say other race to feel what black americans feel. Other race might honor some great person who's Black, but we don't really care about blacks in general.
I never asked you to care. I never cared if you did or didn't. Just don't come to America (where I was born) talking shit about what you went through in Asia. This ain't Asia. You may never know what it feels like to go to your parents funeral on account of them being murdered because of the skin they were born in. Yet, your piss poor insensitivity would imply that I "forget" what i know?
ed2rhino: "I never asked you to care". It seems that you contradict urself.
I can say as minority, my whole families come to America and they work hard, despite many racial slurs, prejudice, and injustice we have just to pursue our American dream without complaining.
N ok I'm sorry to hear that (if) ur parents were killed because of their skin color.
But, the fact is they have passed away and leave their legacy to u so u wouldn't be suffered as much as them. Means that you have to show to anyone that u're not just a "typical" whiny black man.
ed2rhino, i am starting to feel very sorry for you. It is sad that you don't understand; We are not in the past anymore. You are just full of hate. Hate for white men- thus, that makes you a racist. You will never get better until you let go of that hate in you. And is it typical of you making threats to others? How sad of that. Remember it is you that sees a black man here, not me or others..Yes some do, but most don't. But we also have racist black people that insult whites.
cerdanM, you are "starting to feel very sorry for me"...How do you feel about "icetrout99"? You got "sorrow" for me, but nothing for them while i'm being called a monkey & a nigger? And then you go on to say that racism against Blacks is in the past? This was YESTERDAY!
ed2rhino, if icetrout99, is saying racist statements then he is an ass. But let us not respond by being asses ourselves. I never said racism doesn't exsist. But let us fight racism when we know for certain it is racist. Let us not always assume it is. I think you always assume it is, because you allowed the hatred for it, turn you into that you so much hate. I am a minority. I hate racism as much as anyone else. But i do not associate racism with whites like you do. I know anyone can be a racist
I know you probably have good intentions, but don't let the hate consume you.
I know a manager at a resturant. When she works the tables she # them 1 to 5. She always starts at #1. So when she serves 3 groups she will always do table 1 first. No one complains. But when a black person is seated in table 2 at the same time someone is seated in #1 the black person acusses her of discrimination because she started with the people at 1 instead of her. She assumes it is racism. U are doing the same
The problem is not white america. The problem is black america and the symathizers who see a black man as the ape. Everyone else just sees a monkey. They insult themselves by seeing a black man. it is them that can not get past racism. It is them, that must be insecure with the color of their skin because they seem to associate a monkey with a black man. White america is not associating the monkey with the black man, blacks are associating the monkey with the black man. Dont assume..
So, the guy at the Palin Rally with a monkey wearing an Obama hat is saying what exactly?
Or the twins on the youtube video who were turned away froma church by a White deacon saying, "You're going to have to take your monkeys with you"...what did he mean exactly.
racism does happen. On both sides, not just one side. But we should also not see it when it is not there. This cartoon has nothing to do with it. You are assuming it does. And it is you, that sees a black man here. Stop being so insecure. And OPEN YOUR EYES.. stop seeing it in everything...
Blacks don't refer to other Blacks as "monkey". Whites have referred to Blacks as Monkeys for decades.
The problem with this cartoon, is that Whites have been calling Blacks "monkeys" a whole lot longer than the life of this stimulus bill.
Why is a "Beware Of Dog" sign in the cartoon hung on the utility pole? Do people leave dogs on utility poles or is this a racial under tone from the 60's?
ed2rhino, I see this cartoon, i see a monkey. You see this cartoon, you see a black man. That tells me you see black men as monkeys, not me. This new generation probably didn't know a monkey was associated with a black man in the past, but you just told them it does. You keep that vision of a black man being an ape alive. Now a new generation might see an ape as a black man. The artist of this cartoon already said that he had no bad intentions. it was just that monkey in the news lately.
cerdanM, I see this cartoon and I see 2 White police officers shooting a monkey, with no remorse, and making a sarcastic remark about it. All you see is a monkey. How many Black men have been murdered by White police officers lately? How many Black men have been called "monkey" by White men?
i know you see that..you see it because you have "hate" in your heart. Black men have been killed by black officers as well..white officers have killed white men..Officers kill criminals, and they don't care what color they are, only you do. And i voted for obama, and I don't care what color he is. And i wouldn't help my compadres get drivers license. If they are illegal they shouldn't be here. I won;t help them because they are my color, that would be racist of me. the law is the law. bye.
cerdanM - give me 1 example of a White man being unjustifiable killed by a Black police officer. I can give you at least 50 cases of White officers killing unarmed Black men. Is this merely coincidental?The most recent case was in SF & NY..the case of the Black youth is MS hadn't been resolved yet. The law is the law. But, the law seems to protect some and justify crime for others. Although, you seem genuinely pleasant, you have some brethren who give you a bad reputation...just as I do.
Ed2rhino, get a life. This cartoon is very racist n everyone including people outside the black race should be outraged unless you're prejudice. Monkeys has always been refered to as black people so don't act stupid. And y'all want to question why we still celebrate black history month in this country. Bc of dumb racist shit like this
cerdanM- white america should stop trying to justify racism.lets say there was a saltine cracker in the cartoon with arms and legs what would be your understanding this will stop at all cost enough is enough! ! !
hey, whites are not trying to justify racism. That is you again seeing what is not there. And if i were to see a "saltine cracker in the cartoon with arms and legs" i would be seeing just that. Not adding other sinister thoughts. Infact, i don't even know what that means.. I just want to see it as ,saltine crackers. Again, it is you who sees something negative. And i ask the question, why? Do you have suck a negative view of people that you believe it is always negative?
were u born last night or this morning where in the hell have u been under a rock do u live in a cave away from society u are in denial stand okay lets say the monkey was shooting the cracker with a republican t-shirts on and the cartoonist was black
1 coule1, We could say that, but it would be fiction. What isn't fiction is, there is a cartoon about a chimpanzee being shot because of the stimulus plan. If anyone can't see the relation, they don't want too...
Then explain it too us? Why the use of a chimpanzee? If it were a mexican sleeping with a sombreo, or a jewish person with a big nose or a Irish person drunk or a italian dressed like amobster, it would mean only one thing, but you believe thisisn't racist? ummm explain it then? If you can't, shut the FUCK UP!!!!
they used a chimp because of the chimp currently in the news that got shot by cops. The artist is comparing that to congress--meaning congress is as stupid as a chip--congress wrote the stimplus package not obama. You are as always assuming it has to do with racism, but it does not. It is you that sees a black man as a chimp, not me or anyone else that knows the real meaning of the cartoon. Because you can not let go of the HATE YOU HAVE, you see racsim where it is not, thus, you keep it alive

You concede racist descriptions of African Americans as apes.
The fact that this Stimulas Plan was attributed to President Obama, and that he is Black.
But you don't see it.
Your example is confusing. Are you saying that because you were called a primate by teachers, parents and your boss, that's ok to call an Afriacn American a primate, ape or monkey.

tax cuts for the wealthy have given them more money then they know what to do with and they've turned Wall St. into a giant capitalist casino, where heads the wealthy win and tails the taxpayers lose -- the taxpayers now have to bail out the economy.

This cartoon is very violent. An animal has been shot dead. The officer who killed the animal says death is what happens if there is another stimulus bill.
President Obama promoted the first stimulus bill. He's all over the place promoting the stimulus.
What this cartoon suggests is if there is another stimulus bill, it will be shot dead.
It's not too farfetched to read into this that if President Obama promotes a second bill, that he will be shot.

I know the he is trying to look cool but his exit sure makes him look like a very skinny ape climbing down those Air Force One ramp steps.

The cartoon is NOT racist, and if the american people understood how their own government worked they wouldn't have this problem. Listen: The President does NOT write bills, Congress does. The President only signs or vetoes the bills THEY write. Therefore the chimp cannot be Obama! But people are so racially sensitive they see racism in everything.
In fact, if you automatically assumed the chimp to be Obama, what does that say about your own thought processes. Think about it.

One of the 'Obama cartoon controverseys' revolves around his blue lips. A Toronto Star cartoonist was censored for depicting him like this.
That odd colouration about the lipsalong with his bizzare verbal slipsmay mean hes getting transient ischemic attacks (he smokes). For an otherwise intelligent man, Obamas said some INCREDIBLY stupid things (e.g., the 57 states comment)

Rupert, MCain, Bohner. Steele and Kantor's microscopic insect-testicles will look gorgeous when nailed high on the front door of The GOP Crime Family publicist : The New York Post. Perfection....pocket knife?. Let the GOP "culture-war" waged on all others now visit each fatted GOP banker, oil war planners, oil plantation CEO's and CFO's and its fat criminal boards of directors, visit personally each racist KKK fat punk & puss of engorged GOP-Likud-PNAC Crime Family entitlement.

After reading your post and your screen name, I can only assume that you are of Hispanic decent...you know nothing about Black history, Black presence or Black future. Your energy may be better spent helping your compadres get their drivers license

wow, without any further investigation u call me latino, infact i'm asian/white, who just moved to USA. it is the same as u think this NY post is racist, without thinking it from different prespectives. Your brain is so full of negative images of everything!!! the thing is stop complaining, ! this is why the blacks(in general) will never progress!
mundopizz 2 years ago
You can mark Black progress every night the Obama's go to sleep in the White House, which happened to be built by slaves.
You probably took a cozy flight to America because you couldn't make it in your own country. Blacks were brought here as slaves to build this country. Until you're spit on, raped, attacked by dogs, hung from a tree or dragged behind a pick up truck because of the color of your skin - shut your damn mouth about Blacks. You haven't EARNED the right to speak.
ed2rhino 2 years ago
ok listen! the point is you're not a slave, got spit on, got rape, hung on the tree, or even dragged behind a pick truck because of u'r black!! so, why u're thinking of it so much like u have experienced any of those? One more thing, this is a free country and come the f%@k on this is youtube! I do have right to speak without permit from anyone, you silly!!

I'm talking about the modern day, not 40 years ago! In this modern day if anything happned against black it would be a big explosion in the news! simple!!! and I came from the place that even worse than the ghettos. I experienced the injustice against my ethnic backgroud, seeing my family property taken down, having some of my relatives raped and even burn by oil, because of our ethnic background. Do I whine about that?? HELL NO! I gotta move forward, that's the past!
mundopizz 2 years ago
You are soooo wrong. Google "white cop rapes Black woman in jonesboro, ga"..never heard about that huh? Blacks are mistreated, by White cops especially, on a daily basis. White police in south ga will pull Blacks over, write them a ticket, follow them home and search their houses without a search warrant. It happens daily. A black man in America cannot stand a chance if he cannot afford a good lawyer!
I'm Black - what in the hell do you know about MY life?
ed2rhino 2 years ago
and WHY should I have to notice all of the mistreated that happened to black?? i never ask anyone to "feel" what asian american has face, and I guess none of asian american ask anyone about that!
Then when a black man rapes a white or other non-black woman considered not racist???
I think many blacks act out of the proper manner, which intimidating to other race, thats why the white cops did that thing to your people!
AND I don't know your live, and I don't wanna know!
mundopizz 2 years ago
So, you're saying that Blacks who suffer racism from police officers and others deserve it? That's the DUMBEST perception of racism ever! No one deserves to be mistreated regardless of what race they are.
You started out talking shit as if you know what goes on in America. Just because you got a plane ticket, free email and youtube doesn't qualify you to know what happens here.
EDUCATE yourself first before you continue to sound stupid and uninformed.

And educate myself with some african american history, curent events and stuff??? jeez u guys r not the only people living on earth!!
p.s. pardon my english though! I'm only here for less than 2 years

Who else in America has endured 400 years of slavery in America? What others complain about is their right and their business.
If you've only been here 2 years - you have NO idea what being Black in America means. If you're going to voice an opinion about ANYTHING - LEARN about it first...so that you don't appear uneducated.
It's not your English that's a problem. I can understand you. BUT, you "misconceptions" are eroneous!
Rightfully said always better than well said!

well, that is the past! everyone knows that slavery once happened in here, but not in this time! I know that your ancestors had suffered and they fought every fights so that u will never experience life like theirs. so why your generation have to complain about slavery, infact u guys never experience slavery?
and actually slavery happened around the world. some of my ancestors were slaves for the welthier people at their time, but it never get exposed as much as slavery in here

we aren't around the world. We're in America. Again, you hadn't been here long enough to understand much of what I've said. You've been on the outside looking in. Until you've walked a mile in my shoes, you cannot feel none of what I've been through. The 60's weren't that long ago.
ed2rhino 2 years ago
U don't get, u're ancestor were brought here(AMERICA), and I was talking about my ancestor who were slave in asia. Well, of course everyone will walked in their own shoes. the fact is, U CAN'T draw anyone to feel what u feel. same as u can't say other race to feel what black americans feel. Other race might honor some great person who's Black, but we don't really care about blacks in general.
mundopizz 2 years ago
I never asked you to care. I never cared if you did or didn't. Just don't come to America (where I was born) talking shit about what you went through in Asia. This ain't Asia. You may never know what it feels like to go to your parents funeral on account of them being murdered because of the skin they were born in. Yet, your piss poor insensitivity would imply that I "forget" what i know?
ed2rhino 2 years ago
ed2rhino: "I never asked you to care". It seems that you contradict urself.
I can say as minority, my whole families come to America and they work hard, despite many racial slurs, prejudice, and injustice we have just to pursue our American dream without complaining.
N ok I'm sorry to hear that (if) ur parents were killed because of their skin color.
mundopizz 2 years ago
But, the fact is they have passed away and leave their legacy to u so u wouldn't be suffered as much as them. Means that you have to show to anyone that u're not just a "typical" whiny black man.

ed2rhino, i am starting to feel very sorry for you. It is sad that you don't understand; We are not in the past anymore. You are just full of hate. Hate for white men- thus, that makes you a racist. You will never get better until you let go of that hate in you. And is it typical of you making threats to others? How sad of that. Remember it is you that sees a black man here, not me or others..Yes some do, but most don't. But we also have racist black people that insult whites.
cerdanM 2 years ago
cerdanM, you are "starting to feel very sorry for me"...How do you feel about "icetrout99"? You got "sorrow" for me, but nothing for them while i'm being called a monkey & a nigger? And then you go on to say that racism against Blacks is in the past? This was YESTERDAY!
ed2rhino 2 years ago
ed2rhino, if icetrout99, is saying racist statements then he is an ass. But let us not respond by being asses ourselves. I never said racism doesn't exsist. But let us fight racism when we know for certain it is racist. Let us not always assume it is. I think you always assume it is, because you allowed the hatred for it, turn you into that you so much hate. I am a minority. I hate racism as much as anyone else. But i do not associate racism with whites like you do. I know anyone can be a racist
cerdanM 2 years ago
I know you probably have good intentions, but don't let the hate consume you.
I know a manager at a resturant. When she works the tables she # them 1 to 5. She always starts at #1. So when she serves 3 groups she will always do table 1 first. No one complains. But when a black person is seated in table 2 at the same time someone is seated in #1 the black person acusses her of discrimination because she started with the people at 1 instead of her. She assumes it is racism. U are doing the same

The problem is not white america. The problem is black america and the symathizers who see a black man as the ape. Everyone else just sees a monkey. They insult themselves by seeing a black man. it is them that can not get past racism. It is them, that must be insecure with the color of their skin because they seem to associate a monkey with a black man. White america is not associating the monkey with the black man, blacks are associating the monkey with the black man. Dont assume..

So, the guy at the Palin Rally with a monkey wearing an Obama hat is saying what exactly?
Or the twins on the youtube video who were turned away froma church by a White deacon saying, "You're going to have to take your monkeys with you"...what did he mean exactly.
OPEN YOUR EYES AND YOUR EARS
ed2rhino 2 years ago
racism does happen. On both sides, not just one side. But we should also not see it when it is not there. This cartoon has nothing to do with it. You are assuming it does. And it is you, that sees a black man here. Stop being so insecure. And OPEN YOUR EYES.. stop seeing it in everything...
cerdanM 2 years ago
Blacks don't refer to other Blacks as "monkey". Whites have referred to Blacks as Monkeys for decades.
The problem with this cartoon, is that Whites have been calling Blacks "monkeys" a whole lot longer than the life of this stimulus bill.
Why is a "Beware Of Dog" sign in the cartoon hung on the utility pole? Do people leave dogs on utility poles or is this a racial under tone from the 60's?
ed2rhino 2 years ago
ed2rhino, I see this cartoon, i see a monkey. You see this cartoon, you see a black man. That tells me you see black men as monkeys, not me. This new generation probably didn't know a monkey was associated with a black man in the past, but you just told them it does. You keep that vision of a black man being an ape alive. Now a new generation might see an ape as a black man. The artist of this cartoon already said that he had no bad intentions. it was just that monkey in the news lately.
cerdanM 2 years ago
cerdanM, I see this cartoon and I see 2 White police officers shooting a monkey, with no remorse, and making a sarcastic remark about it. All you see is a monkey. How many Black men have been murdered by White police officers lately? How many Black men have been called "monkey" by White men?
My vision for Black men just became President.
ed2rhino 2 years ago
i know you see that..you see it because you have "hate" in your heart. Black men have been killed by black officers as well..white officers have killed white men..Officers kill criminals, and they don't care what color they are, only you do. And i voted for obama, and I don't care what color he is. And i wouldn't help my compadres get drivers license. If they are illegal they shouldn't be here. I won;t help them because they are my color, that would be racist of me. the law is the law. bye.
cerdanM 2 years ago
cerdanM - give me 1 example of a White man being unjustifiable killed by a Black police officer. I can give you at least 50 cases of White officers killing unarmed Black men. Is this merely coincidental?The most recent case was in SF & NY..the case of the Black youth is MS hadn't been resolved yet. The law is the law. But, the law seems to protect some and justify crime for others. Although, you seem genuinely pleasant, you have some brethren who give you a bad reputation...just as I do.
ed2rhino 2 years ago
Ed2rhino, get a life. This cartoon is very racist n everyone including people outside the black race should be outraged unless you're prejudice. Monkeys has always been refered to as black people so don't act stupid. And y'all want to question why we still celebrate black history month in this country. Bc of dumb racist shit like this

hey, whites are not trying to justify racism. That is you again seeing what is not there. And if i were to see a "saltine cracker in the cartoon with arms and legs" i would be seeing just that. Not adding other sinister thoughts. Infact, i don't even know what that means.. I just want to see it as ,saltine crackers. Again, it is you who sees something negative. And i ask the question, why? Do you have suck a negative view of people that you believe it is always negative?

1 coule1, We could say that, but it would be fiction. What isn't fiction is, there is a cartoon about a chimpanzee being shot because of the stimulus plan. If anyone can't see the relation, they don't want too...

Then explain it too us? Why the use of a chimpanzee? If it were a mexican sleeping with a sombreo, or a jewish person with a big nose or a Irish person drunk or a italian dressed like amobster, it would mean only one thing, but you believe thisisn't racist? ummm explain it then? If you can't, shut the FUCK UP!!!!
whitefeet21 2 years ago
they used a chimp because of the chimp currently in the news that got shot by cops. The artist is comparing that to congress--meaning congress is as stupid as a chip--congress wrote the stimplus package not obama. You are as always assuming it has to do with racism, but it does not. It is you that sees a black man as a chimp, not me or anyone else that knows the real meaning of the cartoon. Because you can not let go of the HATE YOU HAVE, you see racsim where it is not, thus, you keep it alive
