New York Post's Vile Cartoon Only Serves To Reinforce Our Racist Legacy Of Stereotypes »
Posted By GlennFrancoSimmons 9 months, 1 week ago in Political NewsI was disturbed when I heard a few conservative radio talk-show hosts minimizing the New York Post’s cartoon's vileness.
The premise of their intellectually mendacious argument was that the cartoon did not insult our president because he did not write the oxymoronically nicknamed "stimulus bill."
These hosts and their hemlock-drinking sycophant-listening fans missed the cartoon's nefarious message:
“Only a ‘stupid’ chimp could endorse such a ‘wildly’ irresponsible bill that will ‘threaten’ the public's welfare. For that, it should be shot and killed.”
It's fine to have a cartoon that illustrates this bill's financial quackery, but to equate its author -- or the person responsible for it (i.e. the president) to a chimp that became wild and threatened the public's safety and had to be shot and killed is a direct insult to our biracial president in view of our nation's embarrassing history of racist stereotypes.
Many racists have equated blacks with chimps, apes, etc., with the implication that they are "stupid."
The cartoonist and New York Post should not have published the cartoon because of the horrific American racist legacy, often supported by academia and politicians, that African-Americans are stupid.
Yet that is not the worst part of the cartoon.
The fact that the chimp, symbolic for the president, was shot and killed is outrageous.
