Racist "Stimulus" Cartoon Unnerves NYC
New Yorkers are outraged this afternoon. The New York Post published a cartoon depicting two NYPD white police officers shooting [to death] a black chimpanzee on a city sidewalk. The caption above the cartoon reads: They'll Have to Find Someone Else to Write the Next Stimulus Bill. Hey, I know the Republicans refused to support Obama's Stimulus Package and I know millions of Americans have been bamboozled by a tradition of blatant racism even in the 21st century, but this is horridly ridiculous. And I'm sorry, there's no way to interpret a cartoon like this except as racist filth. Murder, Stimulus Bill, White Cops? The cartoonist and the newspaper should be bulldozed.
