The New York Post Cartoon

(cartoon from The New York Post 2.18.09)

The cartoon that was the talk on Radio and TV this week. I have many thoughts on it.

I think it is important to directly confront, address, and tackle racism in all its forms on all its levels. I will be contacting The New York Post with my thoughts and concerns over this cartoon and also express my concern to both the artist/satirist and the editor in chief who gave the final stamp of approval for this to be published.

To voice your concern over this cartoon call or email the New York Post @: www.nypost.com/contact/contactus.htm

NY Post Chimp Cartoon Causes an Uproar
