It's obviously not racist. Like already said, CONGRESS (which is mostly white) wrote the bill, not Obama, and the monkey represents the people who WROTE the bill. It is also a play on a previous story about the monkey who was shot by police.

You guys are grasping at straws. There is no racism at all in that cartoon.

Imagery? lol...

It's so obvious it's not even funny. Seriously.

I think people should try not to be racist and by finding this racist in a way you are racist. I am a very non racist person and I get along with everyone.RenegadePatriot

Didn't you get the memo?

Racism ended with the Civil War. The only people who have complained about racism since then are people too lazy to get ahead in life.

im white and offended by this cartoon. what really grinds my gears is the world has changed from the civil rights days to today and racism is still around. my girlfriend is african american and its a shame that biggots still speak racial remarks. what is the purpose of hatred torwards african americans? i just dont understand how skin color can make a person hate others. the truth behind this cartoon is for the last 8 years bush screwed up the country and we have a african american president who is having people unite not just here in the usa but around the world. no one will ever admit that in the hearts of racist groups they dont want a guy like obama to succseed and thats a travisty in my eyes. republicans and democrats may disagree but the truth is obama is symbolisim and shows all races are equal and whats wrong with that?Tazzmission187

Think about if they were making fun of McCain no one would be like omg this is such a racist cartoon because no one would use the race card. I find that if you have racism in your heart all that you see will be racism.RenegadePatriot

[QUOTE="Jandurin"] It's not obvious at all. So, you're saying that they're treating Congress as a single body that is represented by a twice shot Chimp.jointed

This whole issue remembers me of the controversy with this character:

Do you really not know that blacks have been compared to chimps/monkeys?

Heck, I got quite a few "OBONGO" emails before the election, which had Obama drawn as some type of ape/monkey .....big ears and tail...

OMG racist!

The cartoon clearly alludes the monkey WROTE the bill, and CONGRESS wrote it, not Obama. The monkey in no way represents Obama.

I think it would of been made if McCain was the president and pushing this bill. People are going to call almost every political cartoon that is about Obama racist because he is half African American.RenegadePatriot

[QUOTE="RenegadePatriot"][QUOTE="jointed"] No it's not. Obama is the figurehead of this new bill and he's also black....considering the fact that black people were and still is in some places compared to monkeys, this cartoon is very inappropriate. There's really nothing to discuss here, it's offensive.dnuggs40
