Re: Chimp beatdown

I think that cartoon disgraces African Americans more then the slaned ape from earlier this week.

If you read the caption it says about writing the stimulas bill. The President does not write bills so it was not refering to him but does this mean if anyone does a cartoon about Obama its races. The only time I even look at him as AA is when its pointed out by the media or who ever is bringing it up. I know he is the first AA to hold office which is a great acheivement but after that he is just another person and thats how I look at him.

If you have not heard some one degrade a AA by comparing him/her to an ape/monkey then you may want to crawl out of the rock you have been living under.

I don't want to get into the race thing and maybe your point is valid about that cartoon.

Michael Steele is one cool and funny cat too though not in the way he hoped I am sure:

Re: Chimp beatdown

Y'all are so damn sensitive. I don't remember anyone saying anything when they made W into a monkey almost every week. Oh what about when they made Condi into the black crow that sat on his shoulder and whispered into his ear?
No Saden, I didn't draw that cartoon. I do think it is funny though. My co-workers are saying that its racist as I write this. Everything is racist to them so I really don't care.

Re: Chimp beatdown

I don't think there was racial intent either, BUT I can certainly understand how it could be seen that way.

Re: Chimp beatdown

In his younger days he was known for ordering Yager-bombs at that same local bar for his immediate clan. Due to his youth and wild exuberance, he was well known for copping cheap feels with the local talent, while he sometimes over indulged the devils' spirits.

Re: Chimp beatdown

Like most circus veterans of the big show, Chimpy had a confidence and aloofness that belied his pet status. He'd been to the other side. He'd had every piece of chimp tale from New Haven to New Mexico, partied with rock stars and dignitaries of state, been to every bar, done every drug. When he was at Barnum and Bailey’s kids used to line up for hours to meet him. Although his recent years had reduced him to local advertising for subsistence, he still carried himself like a star. He had a gait that said, look at me, I'm somebody...

At Lucky's he was always the center of attention. Sipping his Martini, oo-oo-ooing at the women, smoking and laughing and running amok. And yet, there was a dark side. One time, in front of a group of Chimpy's best friends, a visiting biker made fun of the monkey's diaper, calling him “the ugliest god damn baby I've ever seen!” Five miles out of town a Harley Davidson was found. A driver was not.

lmao! "...He'd been to the other side." The New Haven angle has potential. Chimpy joins Skull and Bones.

The swagger within Chimpy was deep seeded, but not innate. As a young chimp, he was quiet but very bright, and his unique potential was recognized by a select group of people who operated under a set of rules that superceded those of the normal world. But he wasn't ready at first. So Chimpy had been groomed to fit a role specifically designed for him.

You see, being from a particularly exclusive town in New England, he unknowingly landed in the backyard of the breeding ground for some of this countries most elite...

Re: Chimp beatdown

This Chimp should get a gig as a CEO at one of the major banks for his magnificent planning skills. If only he could say "eat rock mofo!"
