Is This Racist?

[BlaqJeff]

Considering the source, absolutely.

[Ghettopunkrocker]

That's beyond racist...that's just fucked up.

[WAYNESKI]

Hmmmmm the things folks do 4 shock value......i dont pay it any mind. Somethings will never change!

[Rosenda]

That's fucked up.

[Jay]

Was this seriously published somewhere? Ah, modern America. Go 5 steps forward to take 6 steps back.

[BlaqJeff]

This shouldn't be unexpected. Whether they intended it to be racist...eh, it could be a subconscious thing. But you would think they would understand that something like that would raise the ire of a segment of the population. These folks are trying to undermine Obama and they're not gonna stop. It's time for Obama supporters and Black folks in general to develop a thick skin.

[kala]

FUCK YES
WHAT THE HELL

[PolarVibez]

Not agreeing with Obama or liking his policy is one thing. But being plain ignorant and racist is something totally different and not acceptable. I won't accept someone calling me a fucking chimp. I'll bet you a million dollars if the cartoon had had an anti-semetic slant it would've never ran.

No no no, that's not how it works. If someone does something that blatantly racist (and that public) in 2009 THEY and not the "victim" should be severely punished. That's like saying if someone were to call me a whatever and instead of them being punished, I'm the one that has to develop a higher tolerance for lewd acts and comments. Hell no, that kind of thought is what lets people cross and redraw the line further and further from what is right.

It's amazing that editors after editors even let this shit see the light of day, I am truely disgusted. Not by this particular incident, but at the fact that this kind of shit still happens in the most advanced (blah blah blah) country in the world. And directed at the leader of it. Who is in fact, just as white as he is black.

[ibrother]

Couldn't this be considered a threat?

[Nana Yeah!]

I don't get it. I feel dumb... is this the chimp that was so culturally advanced that it "drank wine from a stemmed glass"?

Did Obama write the stimulus bill? Are they referring that the chimp was so smart that it coulda ran for office?

Whatever; if its implying that the president is a primitive african primate, then fuck them.

[LesYpersound]

yeah it's the smart pet chimp that ripped the face off a woman a few days ago and was shot when he attacked police officers.

nancy pelosi and harry reid wrote the stimulus bill.

calling stupid people of any color monkeys is pretty normal, i can see how it was a poorly thought out joke and a possible freudian slip...assholes...it's probably a combination of the two tbh.

[Cheebs]

...hell yeah, this is racist, and it kills me how some folks try to say otherwise...
