That racist organization asks for a lot of things.

"Anyone with common sense knows that would work to pickup the economy."

(sigh)

Every single time anyone quotes "Common Sense", I shudder...

Among other things: Other than pissing away $200k, needed infrastructure improvements would ignored under that plan of yours.

This is exactly what I responded to with regards to the Attorney General Eric Holder statement on CNN.

This is the whole reason why people do not confront the race issue in this country. People (mostly white) do not have the money or time to fight off being accused of a hate crime. Because in this day and age, you are guilty until you can prove your innocent! Does not matter IF you said anything or not, all the person of color has to do is file a report. If your white...your going to be arrested and treated like you did it. Same goes for pissed off women getting back at a boyfriend etc... The idiots/do-gooders/can't hurt someone’s feelings of this country voted that man in now live with it. Not to say that in the past 20 years there has been any other alternative.

If Obama wanted to jump start the economy he should have sent each person that files taxes and makes under $200,000 per year a check for $200,000 there would have been money left over to put into other programs. The banks would have received for the most part 80% of it. Anyone with common sense knows that would work to pickup the economy. My bank would be the first check I would right to at least dump 75% of it on my mortgage then pay off my other debt. Which in that case would free up my paycheck to go out and pump up the economy. Being a Democrat or a Republican does not seem to matter these days. Both are funding the top dog's hoping for the trickle down theory, the money being given out to the banks and auto companies is ultimately our money. We are the ones who will have to foot the bill so why not start with us? I beg to ask this question of any one in the government to answer that I am wrong.

Is it me or do most of the higher-ups in the NAACP have lighter skinned complexions than most Caucasians? Hmmm....

Can people just stop buying the post if they are offended as I am. City council member Liu wants secret service to investigate the post when he should have the horse drawn carriage industry investigated for fraud and corruption. He is part of the consumer affairs committee and he does nothing.

DIDN'T I TELL YOU TO GO COLOR?

Stop reading Gothamist, and certainly STOP POSTING COMMENTS.

Ok, so I'm guessing here that either i was the only person in America to watch the news the day before this ad came out in which that nutty woman's supposedly intelligent chimp ate off her friends face and had to be shot by the police, or else everyone else who saw that story did not connect the dots to this cartoon that came out a day later. You see the freaking "intelligent and able to drive and do other human-like things" chimpanzee was shot by the police for attacking that woman. That's what the cartoon was lampooning, not Obama. The idea was that the bill was written by the chimp - the one that ate that woman's face - that was supposedly so smart..... Geez. Or maybe I just imagined that story was on the news and this was really just an out of the blue cartoon where they drew Obama as a chimp and show him being shot by cops for writing a bad bill? Is everyone really that stupid to think that this cartoon and the news story had nothing to do with each other? Does Sharpton watch the news and would he even know it was a comparison? I'm all about not being racist, but this is going WAY to far trying to call a damn cartoon that followed the chimp shooting story comparing it to the bailout bill racist. Is every story or cartoon involving a chimp from now on always going to somehow be construed to being racist? Geez it's no wonder the whole country is so fcked up.

It was my understanding that the chimp was trying to escape the house, and had even found a key to let himself out previously. So he obviously wasn't happy and wanted to be FREEEEE!!!!! Like the rest of us. He was smart enough to get himself out of that house so he was smart enough to write the stimulus bill.

From the facts of the story, I do believe the cartoon is insensitive, I don't think it was malicious. But it wasn't thought through. The chimp wasn't stupid, so who are they talking about.

I say fire editor and cartoonist for aesthetic reasons. those cartoons are just so groan-worthy and plain bad at the best of times.

this ain't over,

the sport's section will be decimated.

no black or white athlete will speak to their reporters, they'll be doing reports while watching it on cable.

Add the NY Post to the list of NAACP shakedowns.

For those who do not know their racist history if you can not see how this cartoon is racist. Let me explain it to you. through out history and present, bigots and racist have refered to black people as "monkeys and apes"

If you have never heard of this just do your research racial imagery. Secondly the caption in the cartoon refers to "someone", SINGULAR (one person) not people or congress. the caption is refering to the one person that the public views as the writer. The one that racist bigots would refer to as being a monkey (eg. the black man); Has been shot dead

If you are blind to your history or uneducated to it then you will not understand what all the anger is about

I hear people being referred to as monkeys and apes often. It's how the Arab media refer to Jews all the time. That doesn't seem to uspet anybody.

Thats because blacks actually resemble the lower primates.

Calls in the US to boycott Arab media sources would be pretty pointless.

Sharpton's racists at it again!

Whatever happened to freedom of speech in this country? Nobody should be fired for exercising their right to express themself, that would be un-American.

It's not the Post's fault a bunch of ignorant racist yahoos from a bigoted coaltion don't understand how U.S. politics works. I've yet to see any conclusive proof that the shot gorilla was indeed a reference to President Obama.

I hope the Post sticks to their guns and doesn't buckle under the pressure from the Sharpton racists.

This has gotten completely out of hand. At first I was at least a little sympathetic towards the protesters, but it's gotten ridiculous. It backs up my longstanding belief that the PC liberal crowd doesn't give a shit about free speech and never has. They love censorship as much or more than the right wingers in certain cicumstances. The criteria is just different. If something is racially insensitive, or simply offends their sensibilities in general whether overtly or implicitly they want it banned and the people involved fired.

God Bless you NAACP,

this ain't over yet.

You know what to do Mr. President.

Leave it to this clown to make a dumb ass comment again.

You are consistent. You and (formerly)felixthecat should be best friends.

OH that's right I forgot. I was told this by a "African American" right after the election. "That's right we're in control now". Everyone else forgets, his moma was white, so he's not the first "Black" President, but he is the first true "African-American" one.
