POPSNAACP calls for firing of NY Post cartoonist Characterizing the NAACP as opportunists in this case is wrong-minded. The general public is not ignorant of the fact that linking blacks with monkeys has been a racial slur for ages. Both the cartoonist himself and the editor both knew full well how this cartoon would be perceived and chose to run it anyway. It is repugnant to still find this type of blatant racism forced onto the public and it is an affront to our collective intelligence for these individuals to expect us to believe they did not present it in a racist manner. The media is considered a voice of the people that seeks to reach or influence the public. This type of back alley behavior is to be vehemently condemned. We strive to be a civil society, any media that is allowed to ‘get away’ with blatant racism runs counter to that goal. I enjoy political humor, I do not enjoy unmasked racial slurs such as can be found in this particular cartoon. It demeans us all.
