New York Post Editorial Cartoon.

The New York Post recently published a very controversial cartoon, which many found offensive, as it seemed to portray Barak Obama as a monkey. I honestly don't think that the guy who drew the cartoon meant to insinuate this, rather he made a joke without thinking about the consequences. I mean when I first saw it I did not immediatly think it was shocking, but then I realized that African Americans are sometimes called monkeys, and this is what the controversy is all about. If this was the man's true intention, then he should be vilified for it, like he already is.

The bottom line is, the public has the right to see these images and judge them accordingly.
