New York Post Chimp Cartoon Is Disguised Bigotry Masking As Free Expression

The New York Post Newspaper has found a convenient cover and mask for their unadulterated historical racial insensitivity—the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. The Post knowingly markets and camouflages their racial bias by calling it parody.
Historically in the United States, Whites in the dominant culture have associated chimpanzees with African Americans (Blacks). President Obama was called every kind of ‘porch monkey’ during the last presidential election and some in attendance at the Republican National Convention in Minneapolis were carrying pictures portraying Mr. Obama as a monkey. So were they being humorous or were they racist? I say they were racists. Any intelligent sane individual can draw an obvious conclusion that the cartoonist, Mr. Delonas was making a direct reference to President Obama in his cartoon. Not only was the cartoon in poor taste, but I feel it should necessitate an immediate response from the U.S. Secret Service to ascertain the true motive of this cartoonist and the editors of the New York Post. Yes, it’s true that the New York Post has in the past depicted George W. Bush in various cartoons as a chimpanzee, but Mr. Murdoch’s New York Post has never shown George W. Bush with anyone pointing a gun at him or lying in the street as a dead chimpanzee. I say ‘if it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it must be a duck’. The person who drew the cartoon and the people who approved the cartoon are bigots and racists.
The New York Post or the New Yorker Magazine would never draw a cartoon of Nazi Gestapo troopers aiming their rifles or guns at a dead Jewish person lying on the ground next to a picture of Christ being crucified on the cross.
