Sharpton and Spikes BLACK Protest of New York Post Resemble's Islamic Fundamentalist Protest Event Over Allah Cartoons


I have no problems with Sharpton being OFFENDED by a cartoon...I get offended by them on a regular basis. I do take exception to his, Spike Lee's, and seemingly the Black Community's belief that they get to be the THOUGHT POLICE censors concerning all things Obama, do not feel they are entitled to recieve apologies every time they feel insulted or offended. Some saw the cartoon in question one way, others another.


I am one of those that DID NOT see the cartoon as racist, did not even see it directed AT OBAMA. Even if the cartoon was aimed at Obama...WHO CARES...the Black Community were not up in arms when Bush was associated with a chimp...in fact, I remember one cartoon wherein his face was incorporated into a chimp. Politicians have often been associated with, compared to, even refered to as chimps, idiot monkeys and the like. Obama is a politician, the cartoon was a political cartoon...no harm, no foul. The Black Community should not be allowed to be Social Commentary CENSORS, the Police out to protect Obama's public image...the man is a politician and public figure...HE IS FAIR GAME, get over it, and get a THICKER SKIN SHARPTON.



The Post apologized...they basically said, "Sorry, we did not see the cartoon as a characterization of Obama, did not publish it as a Obama cartoon, and apologized if some of you took offense. That should be GAME OVER, but instead, we have Sharpton and the Black Community saying the apology is NOT ENOUGH, threatening to ESCULATE THEIR PROTESTS....are we the Middle East, is Sharpton going to start handing down White House FATWAHS and declaring JIHAD on the press?

Hypersensitive Roland Martin and Reverend Shaprton Need To Take Chill Pill...It Was Pelosi and Congress That WROTE THE STIMULUS BILL

Seems that Reverend Al Sharpton and self appointed School Guard Roland Martin are upset about a cartoon that appeared in the New York Post wherein the author of the Stimulus Bill is being shot to death (by uniformed men). Roland is jumping up and down, his jowls flopping like a rabid bulldog as he cries RACISM to anyone that cares to read his column over on CNN...stop being so HYPERSENSITIVE there Roland! Not every distasteful cartoon is a racist swipe at YOUR FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT...I say yours, as you seem to have nominated yourself keeper of the Obama flame of purity lately, grousing at any one or anything you feel is not giving him and the Black Community their rightful due...as example, I site your opinion piece on the White House Press staff wherein you were upset that NOT ENOUGH BLACKS had been hired in key positions. Now you are jumping up and down swearing a cartoon is a racial swipe at OBama...hello, OBAMA DID NOT WRITE THE STIMULUS BILL, Pelosi and the Congress wrote that piece of GARBAGE!

There are numerous examples of Chimps, monkeys being used in cartoons and jokes when referring to the IDIOTS that inhabit Washington, DC...if anyone has a right to scream foul, it might be Pelosi as the Speaker of The House. Stop being the tempest in a teapot Roland...go back to whining about Valentine's Day. By the way...I seem to recall Bonzo Goes To Washington, and people thinking nothing of using that in reference to President Reagan...you Roland, you Reverend Sharpton need to take a few CHILL PILLS, need to stop seeing racial swipes at every turn in the road. Lastly Roland, here is a clue...the history of Blacks in America contrary to your article is a SMALL PART of a larger History, not the other way around...get used to it, as most Americans have no intentions of viewing the world and America through your eyes, through your own racially tinged glasses.

It is suggested here, that Roland Martin has lost his ability to be impartial, and that reality should have CNN reviewing their USE OF HIM on a News Show. Yes, I am suggesting they consider terminating his contract, should cease using a man that sees the world here in American through racially tinted lenses.
