tone deaf.

I agree and expect Al Sharpton to be in a neon colored jogging suit today. Can't believe it made it in.

What do you think is funny? You mean funny like laughing at the white-trash character Brad Pitt played in the movie Kalifornia? In other words..."the messenger" ...not "the message."

I think its funny because I find controversial humor to be funny. I still think its racist and did not belong in the newspaper... but I'm still going to laugh.

I tell jokes about all different races and genders and sexuality. Jokes are funny.

The protest is on. Tomorrow in front of the Post's headquarters in Manhattan. Neon colored jogging suit is optional.

Racist? the fact that a chimp could have written the stimulus bill has nothing to do with our beloved president......I mean...really! How politically thin-skinned can you be?

it's pretty disingenuous to pretend that black's haven't been portrayed as apes and monkey's in cartoon's by those trying to make a point of their alleged inferiority. for hundreds of years.

more troubling is the post's response which completely ignores the issue.

if i tried to post that cartoon here with a "guess derby trail needs someone else to post anti-turk rants" caption, how long would it last?

and nothing personal scuds. i think you're nuts but that has nothing to do with your skin tone.

at best, it was tone deaf. but more likely the tone was intended. which is even more troubling.

you really dont believe this do you? It had everything to do with our beloved President.

Still hilarious... but in bad taste.
