It’s no secret that President Obama is not a hero in the Republican circle, but the matter of his race is where America should draw the line. Yes, Obama is the country’s first Black president, and political pundits, conservative cartoonist, and all around racists, love to jump and attack his skin color. At this point there’s really no way that cartoonist can justify their racist views, and neither can the publications, and websites, who print them.
As we reported earlier, Col Allen top editor for the New York Post was ordered by a federal judge to answer inquiries regarding a racist cartoon depicting the commander in chief as a monkey. While Allen may be the latest person called to the carpet over racism against the president, he’s certainly not the only one.
