That NY Post Cartoon IS Racist

Why am I not surprised that this crap comes from the Rupert Murdoch owned NY Post? When it comes to offending and belittling the African American community, the NY Post has it down to a science.

This cartoon isn't a dig at Congress because there's no sign or drawing on it anywhere indicating that it is as the Post's editors and the cartoonist lamely tried to claim.

We've had far too many instances in history in which African descended people are derisively referred to as monkeys, gorillas, et cetera in order to dehumanize us, justify slavery and later Jim Crow desegregation.

There's only one way you can interpret it, and that it's a nastily racist dig at 'Brother President'. Chewing on Rev. Al Sharpton for calling y'all out on the racism isn't going to deflect attention from the fact that he's right and it IS racist.
