Luv it !! The NY Post's reputation has always been one of spewing forth and/or encouraging racist views all the while using the 1st Amendment as lame justification. Good for you Justin and thank you !!

I hold this cartoon to be one of the cleverest I've ever seen; it simultaneously presents the pro-Delonas ("he was merely saying that") and anti-Delonas ("if this isn't racist, what is?") arguments, and dances on Delonas' uninteded and clumsy ambiguity with its own ingenious derived ambiguity.

Though I got a laugh out of the cartoon, once I stopped laughing and began analyzing what I was seeing, I have two more important thoughts about theis illustration. For one, the assocation of the cartoonist with a "KKK" member is potentially dangerous because as the recent study from the two social scientists from Stanford and UCLA show, it is not solely KKK members that connect Black folks with apes, it is everyday, liberal, white folks that harbor the same beliefs, which have been so deeply embedded into the fabric this country in order to justify enslavement and mistreatment. When one associates the belief of Black inferiority with KKK members, it allows all of us to distance ourself from those beliefs even though we may "secretly" believe them too. Second, the cartoonist did not act alone. What about the editor that allowed the cartoon to go to print? What about Rupert Murdoch, who although offered a sincere apology regarding the cartoon, is the chairman/CEO of FOX News, and others, which on several occasions has directly and indirectly referenced the inferiority of Black people? The cartoon, NOT THE CARTOONIST, should die, but let us not bury the issues it raises for far more good can come with finally adressing race relations in this country.
