Is this cartoon racist?
Yes.
Did the Post give a non-apology?
Yes.
As much as I would like to raise hell over this and over all racial comments made about President Obama, or anyone for that matter, I'm not sure that there is much more to be done.
The lines are drawn, some people believe it is a very racist comic, some do not.
Some people think that the backlash is unnecessary, and some think there should be a larger backlash.
Bickering is not going to change the mind of anyone. People have their minds made up.
This is not to say people should not stick to their guns and not fight for what they believe in, just that they should pick their battles wisely.
I believe we should support stop giving the New York post free press and concentrate on the important things, like how to fix the failing economy and getting me a summer internship.
Because of this comic I will never read the post again, not that I did anyway.
