Wake Up America Its A World Out There.... The Blind Are Ruled By A One Eyed King. As For The New York Post Its A Waste Of My Time. Born and Raised In New York Maddtronix Listening Is An Lost Art...........

am i surprised, no not really

The United States of America is one of the most internally ethnically prejudices countries on the planet. we are also one of the most culturally diverse. the election of the first black president will show exactly how prejudices this country can be.
civil rights movement made great progress for the advancement of social minorities. during these time the white majority fought tooth and nail to not recognize people of color as equals.

the first black students to go to a desegregated school where met with both physical and verbal assaults. in many cases black students had to be protected by police just to get to school.

Jacky Robinson the first black baseball player was met with threats from players and fans.

the first black anything has always been met with an upraising of white repressions.

this is only the tip of the iceberg, unlike previous generation that move to action to make necessary changes, it is this generation that will have to continue to take necessary action but also have the long uncomfortable conversation about the prejudices in this country.

No it is not an easy conversation but it is vital to moving forward.

we are going to have to talk about: the genocide of the Native American people, The enslavement and trade a Africans, Jim crow laws, Japanese internment, Segregation, the economic divide between ethnic groups, police brutality of minorities, the education system in its treatment of students of color.

and if you cant see this as the problem (your probably a white male) then the conversation needs to be even more in depth.

When I first heard of this add and even the saw it my thought was dam even a chimp cant do it.
I dont want to forget history. I also dont want to walk on eggshells the rest of my life in this perhaps we are cowards. I grew up hearing the "N " word in jokes etc. Now the only time I hear it is from Black music and certain black groups. I dont want my kids growing up knowing this word, they can learn of it in history class.
This is my thought. There are two kinds of people who saw and reacted to this. First is the person like me who only heard about it and laughed whether the bill was intended to reflect congress or obama, I saw the comic saying dam even a chimp/chump cant do this right(is anyone truly happy with it). Second is the person who see's this as rascim only, thet cant get past the past.Dont forget the past , but dont relive it either.
One final thing , Im not mad or sad or angry that we have a black president rather I am proud of this country . If any thing I am upset that he isnt a republican. I am scared the way our democratic politicians are taking this country. Arent all of you?
If I go back far enough in my family tree I learn that my ancestors were indentured servants for 7 plus years sometimes 49 years that was a lifetime for many
.We all have history that was less than optimal.
Lastly , i am a laborer ,there will be errors in this blog, I am not perfect, But I still have an opinion Thanks and lets all keep talking about this.

As a black person, I was very offended by this comic. But then I began to wonder, since the comic is so glaringly offensive, perhaps the comic is not anti-Obama and racist at all. Perhaps it is instead intended to point a satirical finger at Anti-Obama racists.

I wonder if the policemen are meant to represent the idea that some of the opposition to Obama's stimulus bill might be coming from people who simply don't like have a black president, or believe that Obama won the election in part because he is black.

These comics are indeed racist because its how things of America works, even though, yes, Bush was being made of and the he was also playing the monkey, but Bush was evil, and not every presdient gets made of a monkey.....although, I think no intentions should be taken, because its a cartoon and it is a concept of human minds(these days...) to spot every detail of something they suspect that is racist and declare its racist and simultamously attack it.....

Hey those comics aren't racist, the shot down chimp and Pres Obama reference is

republicans shooting a democrat?

This comic reminds me of the Muhammad A-Bomb comic.
