Apparently there is a kerfuffle about a cartoon that was printed recently in the NY Post. It couldn’t have been that big of an issue, since I wouldn’t have even known about it unless it was tweeted at me, and I haven’t heard about it anywhere else. Some people are disturbed by it and calling it racist. For your judgment, here it is:
First off — yeah, it’s a monkey getting shot by a couple of (white) cops. You can see whatever you want to see in that. Understanding that racism and derogatory concepts about certain races exist, I can most certainly see as how this cartoon could be viewed as racist. I’m not going to argue with that. Now-a-days, though, the cops will shoot you with a taser like it ain’t no thing; it’s been quite a while since I heard about a fatal shooting by a cop with a gun, but I’m sure it still happens. Anyhow, I can’t think of any other animal that would be funnier to shoot than a monkey. Maybe they should have just drawn in a retarded kid, since the entire concept of their so-called stimulus seems like it may have been written by a mental defective.
I know some people are saying that the monkey is an Obama reference. Technically and literally speaking, Obama had nothing to do with the actual legislation as far as writing it. The Democratic Party peeps are the ones who actually wrote the legislation. So, I guess, the white cops shot some non-racially-specific Democratic Party hack. That’s what y’all should be pissed off about. The Democratic Party is in a position to screw you, your kids and your grandkids for the next couple of years at least. Let’s hope that monkey (and its entire family) gets killed. I mean, it’s either you or them — it’s your choice.
