This cartoon which appears in today’s NY Post depicts a national news story which made headlines yesterday about the cop who shot and killed a rampaging chimp in Connecticut. But the cops in the comic make a joke about the economic stimulus bill, which as you know is being pushed through by President Barack Obama. Here’s what Al Sharpton had to say in a statement released this morning:
“The cartoon in today’s New York Post is troubling at best given the historic racist attacks of African-Americans as being synonymous with monkeys. One has to question whether the cartoonist is making a less than casual reference to this when in the cartoon they have police saying after shooting a chimpanzee that “Now they will have to find someone else to write the stimulus bill.” Being that the stimulus bill has been the first legislative victory of President Barack Obama (the first African American president) and has become synonymous with him it is not a reach to wonder are they inferring that a monkey wrote the last bill?”
Is this comic racist…you tell us!

hahaha that comic was fucking hilarious i just pissed in my pants from reading it. Fuck al sharpton and all the racist black people just trying to pull that we went through slavery crap cause no black person today was alive back during slavery. stupid welfare pieces of shit.
wow just what we need another thing to make black people complain. you know this isn’t even racist compared to black people. obama is only president because black people voted for him because umm… well he is BLACK!!! they cry about welfare and slavery (which never affected them) blacks need to just grow up.
why do all gorillas look mad?
cause in 2 million years they will be niggers.
hahaha.
in all seriousness though
there is such a double standard to racism
it is ridiculous
black people are as equally racist as white people
it just flys under the radar because the whole slavery thing
get over it.
I am absolutely amazed by people’s ignorance. I am more appalled by the comments on here than the actual comic.
I highly aware that there are many blacks on welfare but there is also plenty of poor white trash on there too. Many of the so-called racist white people try to portray their selves in these superior roles but in actuality they are just as poor and ignorant as the subjects they hate.
I find it funny that you racists or slightly racist people use blog sites like this to express your so-called true feelings but in reality would never say things. Stop being scary cats and stop jumping on the bandwagon.
