New York Post Cartoon: Connecting Chimp Attack With Obama?

Once again WHITE American has spoken. I never thought I'd live to see a black man become president of the United States. Now I pray everyday that he lives another day to make an impact on this troubled country.

Shame, shame shame on the cartoonist. parody?…bull crap!!!. Anyone with a modicum of sensitivity would be offended by the cartoon, anyone with some semblence of a brain would not see the humour. There is no humour. While I have my own issues with Sharpton, he's on the mark about this one. What surprises me is that there isn't more public response to this type of racism. Those white americans who have historically defended this kind of blantant racism, and still want to claim that it's innocent only help to perpetuate harmful sterotypes of people of color. Is race still an issue in America?…absolutely. White folks need to seriously do an attitude check and Black folks need to wake up!!!…Black president or not, the most harmful barriers remaining are the types of attitudes that let crap like this pass for so called parody.

If you're not looking through the eyes of race you'll know that Obama DIDN'T WRITE THE STIMULUS BILL! Therefore the ape is obviously congress and not Obama.

When will we let it go? When will we let people be people? If you want to see racism, you will see racism.

that cartoon might in a bad taste all things considered

Okay,

Listen up you racist white pigs; you guys are so mad that the president is black, that you don’t know what to do. It just makes you so mad that you will make any little racist comment you can to try to slide by with. You know exactly what you were trying to say with that article. All black people, should never ever by a newspaper from the “New York Post” again and for that writer, you should be brought up on chargers for slander, to say the least. How dare you make a comment about President Obama, he has done nothing, but try to pull this racist country together. Don’t you ever write anything else like that again!

Mr. Sharpton and Mr. Jackson are forever marginallized by the election Mr. Obama. I fully expect them to be creating whatever controversy they can in the future to keep their faces and names in the news. It is their history.

With the respect and support of our nation behind Mr. Obama and the hopes that any recovery plan will help the economy, I believe we are smart enough and have the ability to laugh at our system enough so that we can have a black President and a political cartoon with a monkey in it.

Regardless of who wrote the stimulus bill, most of the people think President Obama wrote it. Where's the humor anyway? I don't see anything funny about shooting a chimp. That is, unless you are relating it to a person, and in that case it becomes insulting. Maybe someone should make Mr. Delonas point the finger at who he is trying to make fun of. And ask yourself; what words could we replace the ones in the bubble with? And why do “some” give themselves away by not using the title of President when reffering to him? They just call him by his last name. And a chimpanzee is not a monkey. I am a white man who loves his country and his president and I love anyone who feels the same. As a former scout and a soldier, I was taught to respect the commander in chief.And now is not the time to see colors. Who authored the stimulus bill anyway? I dislike Al Sharpton because he uses the color of his skin to get recognition. If he were white, we probably wouldn't know him like we do.

God bless our country and our president and also the woman who was attacked. This is a tragedy, not just for her but for the chimp and his owner too. The cartoon is in bad taste, no matter how you look at it. I would never buy a copy of the new york post.

I see absolutely no connection to the chimp attack and the economy. My first reaction to seeing this cartoon was WTF?? It was in very poor taste, and too closely resembles a racial slur to be funny. As a cartoonist, isn't the goal to be funny? Rather than accusing Sharpton as a publicity hound, it seems more likely that the cartoonist and editor will have more fame as a result of this. I, for one, will not commit their names to memory.

I am so disappointed in the Post. This cartoon is tasteless from all sides of it. This is a tragic story for the chimp, the owner and the woman who is fighting for her life today. I am a white person and I find this cartoon to indeed be referencing our President. This is outrageous. We need to do to the cartoonists what we do to the athletes when they go too far. Freedom to speak does not include threats or promoting harm to anyone. I am waiting to see what justice will be done now. No excuse is out there for this kind of thing. What were the editor's thinking? This belonged on the cutting room floor.

Niggers

stop fucking posting at my website you fucking ass holl get you life btchh

White America elected this president. They are the majority. Don't kid yourselves.There is racism in all of us. Remember it takes a racist to see racism.

It is totally absurd to link this cartoon to anything racist. President Obama did not “write” anything, Congressional leaders wrote it and he signed it. The cartoon says nothing about Obama. Obama was elected to the highest office in the country, but charlatans like Sharpton need to keep stiring the race pot.

What is funniest about it all is the hypocrisy of everyone. Go to Google images and type in “Bush Chimp” and see all the comparisons that everyone made directly of our former president. But since Obama is half black, he's immune from any criticism. God Bless America…

I find this cartoon both offensive and insulting. I can not believe anyone in this day and age, given what type of racism we deal with, would publish such a cartoon and expect that the American People not to see straight through this typical show of racism. Sean Delonas should be fired as was Whoopi Goldberg who in 2004 made a negative comment about the previous president George Bush, while serving as spokesperson for Slim-fast weight lost company. Slim-fast fired her immediately after she made the comment. Sean Delonas lives in america and knows full well of the up roar with African American Community with regards to be compared to monkeys, chimps and other animals. We the American People have come to far to allow for such a behavior to be tolerated in our country. Sean Delonas is the prime example of what's wrong with racism in America and should be no longer be allowed to demonstrate his disrespect for the President of the United States and this country.

The lame excuse that it refers to any human being is intolerable and should be considered just as other readers have suggested, that the underlying comment is that you would like to shoot President Obama. Sean Delonas will soon become synonymous with racism by the entire country. This posting along with comments from various recording artist, actors, actress, and so on are being sent all over the world via the world wide web. If the owners of the New York Post will not hold you responsible then the American People will by spreading the word as to what you have implied with this particular cartoon. We are fed up with your kind and would like to abolish you to a place where you have no freedom of any sort to give you an idea of what freedom of speech has cost those who fought to keep this country free.

Rupert Murdock , do you know the difference between calling a spade a spade? You and your cartoon boy should eat dog droppings and bark at the moon

As one reader stated that they do not see a connection between the chimp being murdered and the economic stimilus bill. Neither do I I find it blatantly and utterly racist, and this needs to stop. Its one thing to disagree with the president, but to mock him in this manner is un called for. I also believe that a better apology should have been given by the post for this article. The publishers and staff as a newspaper need to be more sensitive to its readers.

I think so.
