sean delonas Monkey cartoon by Sean Delonas, offensive
Wednesday, February 18, 2009
sean delonas Today's issue of the New York Post carries has a controversial "monkey" cartoon by Sean Delonas. At first glance, you'd probably think the editorial cartoon was inspired by the latest shooting of a violent chimpanzee named Travis in Connecticut.
If you look at the photo/picture below, the cartoon shows a chimp splayed on the ground in a pool of blood while two police officers stand over the dead body. It would have just been alright if not because of the words "They'll have to find someone else to write the next stimulus bill."
The "monkey-shooting" cartoon implies that the two officers just killed President Obama. In my viewpoint, Sean Delonas' cartoon in Wednesday's edition of the New York Post label President Barack Obama as a crazy monkey who wrote the just-approved U.S. economic stimulus bill.
What do you think, is the cartoon a racist attack towards African-Americans, labeling them as monkeys?
