How so?Originally Posted by eyes of hazel
Unless you didn't attend (point out that I did not say graduate) from high school, its obvious that the historical racial-embedded reference of African-Americans as monkeys is prevalent in that cartoon.

Why didn't they use an elephant? A kitten? Historically, it would have been stupid to'
There are many ways you can say something without actually saying it.
Prime example...
My step mother is one of the city managers of Chesapeake, Va (there are 3 total). She just got promoted a year ago. My father is a cop down there, 2 years away from retirement.
We all know the budget issues the state of Va are having, everywhere.
During a "WIRE" type police-only meeting in a board room, one captain says in a meeting with my obviously present, "Chesapeake needs to cut one of them city managers. That's what we need to do." And looks directly eye to eye at my Pops.
Now. Did the captian say my mother's name? No.
But, if my father responded the way he wanted to, he would have suffered ultra punishment.
Get it?
Just enough room to call my father "ignorant" if he lashed out and say he took things the wrong way, when the captain meant what he meant.
Minorities deal with this daily.
It's like taking a shower.

I think some of y'all like to just make things seem harder then they actually are. Its a cartoon in a crappy paper that has zero cred. Deal.
People werent "up in arms" when Ludacris, a stupid ignorant rapper made a horrible comment about John McCain...
Ignorance is what it is, why some of you have this "bleeding heart" to make ignorant people see things the way you do is beyond me.
