That's totally racist! Jerks! I though mankind has evolved at least enough than to resort to such content!

Scumbags. I mean, I'm white, and I find that offensive!

I'm with Gloomburg here. I didn't see what was so racist about it unless you start recklessly making assumptions.

Its just like the Resident Evil 5 thing. Shooting white people, and dirty spaniards is totally fine, but oh lawd shooting black people is rascist.

1. Black people having been referred to as monkeys.
2. Obama stimulus bill.
3. Cartoon is a dead monkey.
4. Police dude says "someone else is going to have to write the stimulus bill."

seriously if you dont see where this is going to lead then you are a retard. even if the comic is able to play into that event, it is not socially responsible to create a comic like that given the historic nature of the association between black people and monkeys in america, and it is worse to depict this image in such a violent manner.

as much as you can argue that it is not racist you can easily argue back that it is and not only is it easily racist but it is the kind of subverted and malignant racism that goes on unchecked in this country and will go on unchecked unless someone decides to stand against it and people start to decide to put themselves above it.

Re: What The [Bleep]?!

I find it an amazing depiction of our current administration.

Cause the president is black.



and ape like.

Re: What The [Bleep]?!

i would say that going out of our way to be offended or find the offensive in everything - coupled with an unhealthy dose of white (and christian) guilt is what's wrong with this country.

Being PC is overrated.

Someone will always be offended no matter what you do. They probably would have made the same comic had Bush been in office during this event.

Also: Does this mean we're not allowed to make fun of Obama because he's black?

Re: What The [Bleep]?!

This reminds me of the Coraline topic where people didn't realize Wybie was African-American because he didn't "act black."

Re: What The [Bleep]?!

I don't consider the cartoon racist and am not offended by it.
Also, I choose not to be offended by many things that I do consider to be racist.
In conclusion, the other day I went to the zoo. I saw a nappy-headed creature, it looked just like you. I looked up at the cage and it said jiggaboo. [/a Spike Lee joint]

Re: What The [Bleep]?!

Obama didn't write the stimulus bill. The democratic congressional leaders did (who, incidentally, are all white).

Ignorance FTW.
