Regardless, it is also a direct reference to the monkey being shot in Connecticut the other day, we all know that yada yada
but the one thing it is NOT is racist, as it is comparing the writers of the stimulus package, ie Congress, not President Obama, who signed the stimulus package.
the other thing to point out is how many times Bush was shown to look like a monkey, but if Al Sharpton complains about this comic in the Post it's now racist against Obama?
it was never about Obama in the first place. |
Thanks, you've went more in depth with it. I was thinking of the stimulus package could have been written by a monkey and also knew it was a connection with Travis being shot.
After seeing it, I knew the shit was going to hit the fan.
