Cenk Uygur On MSNBC - Feb 20, 2009

Fuck Fox News

Fuck you

I think we do need to talk about this in some location. Have a wood stock but have it be like curing or solving the issue of discrimination. I mean this is suppose to be the land where everyone is on an equal playing field.
Of course its not if a particular race is already in a hole if you will.

I do agree that the paranoia surrounding what words/images can be used in regards to non-whites is divisive because every time you talk to someone you have to evaluate whether or something you say can be construed as racist, which causes you to actively think about racial differences.

But I did not like this cartoon. It's not the chimp part that bothered me, but the dead chimp part. The violent context made it disturbing.

I think the alarming issue is that The New York Post would knowingly publish a cartoon which obviously could be taken in a certain context as racist.
It's unreasonable to say that the Cartoonist or at least the Editor of the publication wouldn't realize the racial connotation to the comic and have it changed. It leads me to think that The New York Post would actually publish something with obvious racial implications for publicity, and that; is pretty goddamn despicable.

New York post does these things to get itself in the line light. If it did things by the book it wouldn't be noticed as much. The people there I would say have no common sense.

but if chris rock said it, then it would be okay.

Not to me . . .I think Chris Rock is pretty racist.

yeah but so what? everybody is racist thats just something america has to get over.

You nailed it. I agree 270%.
