Re: Is this an attack on Obama's Race?
I don't think its racist, but I think someone is begging to be fired because you know pieces of shit like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are licking their chops while looking at this.
That's a pretty good conspiracy theory. "F*** this job, I'm gonna get laid off soon anyway, might as well go out with a bang! Then, turn around & file a lawsuit in 2-3 years."
Re: Is this an attack on Obama's Race?
From the NY Post Editor and Chief after an Al Sharpton remark
"The cartoon is a clear parody of a current news event, to wit the shooting of a violent chimpanzee in Connecticut. It broadly mocks Washington's efforts to revive the economy. Again, Al Sharpton reveals himself as nothing more than a publicity opportunist."
That still doesn't make sense though. I'm not trying to harp on it, but again if it's a "clear parody" of the "shooting of a violent chimpanzee in Connecticut"... But what does it have to do with the Stimulus Package?? I'm not saying it HAS to be about Obama & blacks... I'm open & all ears. What IS it about?
Re: Is this an attack on Obama's Race?
They're full of shit. I know Jackson & Sharpton are opportunistic pieces of shit, but this is this glaringly racist.
And to try to use the anti-race card as an excuse back against a black man (Obama) who never once used his race to get elected (because if he did, McCain would be prez), it's a little unfair.
Even when they found the Wright stuff, Obama condemned it, instead of saying "yeah, that brother speaks the truth". He also gave Black Uhuru a hard time at one of his rallies.
I think at times Obama is a bit screwed, from whitey's pov. If Obama says "I don't mind it", they call him "Uncle Tom", if he makes a fuss, "he's playing the race card". WTF?
COME ON... how can this NOT be racist? It references a chimp and specifically something OBAMA and his right-hand men are working on right now.
I'm totally cool with being politically incorrect. But call it what it is. It's parody... racist, bigoted parody.

He didn't? What about his comment about not looking like the other men on US dollar bills? He ran a brilliant campaign, I'll give him that, but this election was about race to SO many people, with as many using it for him as against him.
Re: Is this an attack on Obama's Race?
I don't see that as playing the race card.
He doesn't look like all the other guys on the currency.
If he'd come out and talked about how he's the best candidate with all the experience, because of the generations of slavery and oppression... then i'd thought he was playing the race card. He didn't.
The only cats that played the race card were liberal honkies on TV talking all about how beautiful the world was gonna be when a black man got elected president in the U.S.
Funny... the world seems the same to me, and Obama has seemed to just assume business as usual also. He can mind the country, i'll mind people talking shit - just like I did with Bush.
This is a racist parody. And the worst offense - it's not funny.

Fair enough. To me, though, it was him painting himself as the victim of racist Republicans all over the country. But that's a discussion for another day!
Re: Is this an attack on Obama's Race?
Racism aside, that cartoon is just awful. I don't see how a monkey escaping the zoo and being shot has to do with Obama's stimulus plan. I get what they are trying to say, but I think they do a very bad job of doing it. The two events aren't related in any way.

They are saying that the "stimulus" plan is a fools way of saving the country basically how I take it. They tied two news items together. Bush got called a Monkey for 8 years and worse shit than that. Now that we have a black man in office we are suppose to tip toe around things?
So now Obama is being treated to a taste of what Bush had to deal with for years. .
