    Question Let me get this right...

    From the NZ Herald

    So if one makes a cartoon like this (a rather lame one):


    It's deemed racist etc etc.



    But when you do this:


    No one gives a fuck.

    Why's that?

    Maybe Mr. Merde is right, it's just the WASP in me talking

    It's all a bit over the top as usual of course, but I think what pushes the civil rights people's buttons is the echoes of old racist abuse where African Americans were likened to apes (even in serious scientific circles -- they did things like measure skull circumfrence and brow ridges etc.). There wasn't ever stuff like that about white Americans so nobody sees a reference (imagined or not) and gets upset.

    To me, though, the cartoon just looks like it's saying the original stimulus bill was crap and was about as good as what a monkey could do.

    Difference being the intent.

    Obama is being called a monkey because of his color (remember lines like - "they ruined a perfectly god monkey when they cut your tail off boy")

    Bush was called a monkey because - well he had the intelligence of a chump.

    Besides if you want a cartoon that really pisses people off go for uncle mohammad.

    No, that's just what Rev. Al Sharpton wants you to think. That angle never even occurred to me, I just read it as an attack on the intelligence of the Obamessiah...
