"Racist" New York Post Cartoon?

Here we go again with the charges of racism and such. I thought this was the post-racial era.

"How could the Post let this cartoon pass as satire?" said Barbara Ciara president of the National Association of Black Journalists. "To compare the nation's first African-American commander in chief to a dead chimpanzee is nothing short of racist drivel."

The problem is that if you read the cartoon you know they aren't talking about Obama as the dead chimp.



Obama didn't write the stimulus bill he outsourced it to Harry Reid and other Dems. Obama was just a cheerleader and Scare-Monger-In-Chief for the thing. So the heaviest-handed way to interpret the thing is to think that the bill was written by chimps. If you actually read the compromise bill you might have made that mistake. Also this cartoon nothing next to the naked racism of cartoonists like Ted Rall.
