Even hateful, misinformed, paranoid, bigots are able to express their opinions. Freedom of the press is still alive. Even hateful, misinformed, paranoid, bigots are able to express their opinions.

I just took it to mean that any monkey could write a stimulus bill. The way this stimulus bill was, any monkey could write a better one than the dopes that wrote this one (which was NOT Obama, by the way).

Dems got what they had coming. What an idiot government to pass a bill that will derail the economy without reading what they’re spending the money on! Next comic should show many of the liberal democrat monkeys black, white, yellow and whatever jumping up and down like the monkeys they are!!! Many of the Republicans should get into the comic as well because they are monkeys too!!! All serious racists, black, white, yellow and whatever, you are all jumping up and down now because you think you’re so right. whaah-waah-waaaaaaaah!!! I laughed my head off and I’m not a racist.

The media knows this, and they like to see black people reacting and feeling bad, because it sells news. All of the folks who are always the big controversy spinners don't realize that be they black or white, they are adding to psychological racism by making such a big publicized deal of things. When people just start to call ignorant things, like a possibly racist cartoon, as just ignorant, and take the necessary legal steps, than black people will truly be on the path to being mentally free of oppression. Unfortunately, the media would never allow this to happen because, as I said, they want to sell news. They want to show you the pain and aggravation, and they do not care if it causes more people pain and sorrow. They do not care if they are proliferating a modern form of psychological racism through victimization. Until people start to turn their backs on racists, and simply alienate them, black people will always be susceptible to manipulative psychological oppression. Sharpton and all of those folks need to pay that some mind, and work on empowerment in new generations as opposed to further victimization. And maybe, in fact, that is what they are trying to do, but when the media gets there, they want everything to be dramatic and painful, so it comes off that way. I just don't know about that for sure. What I do know is that it isn't making anyone feel any better.

Where were you Victor??? I thought we were going to take a walk together? On the brighter side of race relations, I was not accosted by any bigoted people of any race, and felt quite comfortable walking west along 125th, until the cold started getting to me and I decided I would rather spend my free day visiting some actual friends instead. Sorry you missed out, Victor. Maybe next time, huh?

I don't know any liberals who aren't flaming bigots, and haven't for decades.
