Update on That New York Post Cartoon

It looks like The New York Post is doing some backtracking regarding that cartoon after it initially refused to apologize and people started to protest outside its offices over it. It issued an apology to anyone who were offended by the cartoon. Here are a few clips from last night's Countdown With Keith Olbermann show regarding the whole saga.

A Protest Over a Racist Cartoon

I'm sure you've heard plenty about this cartoon that The New York Post published yesterday.

This is yet another one of those old "African Americans are monkeys" stereotypes that should've died with Jim Crow. But, like the infamous Barak Obama Monkey Doll that someone actually made and sold on the Internet, there are some people out there who still think that equating African Americans with monkeys are totally hysterical.

Here's an online petition that's currently going around the Internet that you can sign if you're totally pissed off at the cartoon and the fact that no one involved with The New York Post has even bothered to apologize yet.
