Also, let's go to the "second derivative". For example, we need to ban the word "strange", because a synonym for "strange" is "queer". While we're at it, the word happy is henceforth banned for similar reasons.
Also gone are the words kite and chew (could be mistaken for a Jewish slur), etc.
I'm interested in the remainder of my life as to how far politically correct censorship goes. Of course, it's totally one-sided. If someone writes "Kill Bush", it's okay (in fact they made a whole movie on this theme!).
As Nat Hentoff (hardly a conservative) wrote, "freedom for me, not for thee".

"Stupid" is still current.
(No matter what the screen says, I did not approve the preceding comment.)

And it's worth nothing that monkeys are a standard for political cartoons. I'm not saying they should be able to use monkeys for Obama, but it's got to be frustrating to not be able to wheel out the old monkey strip every few weeks. I wouldn't want to think of new gags.
Also of note is how many more search responses google pulls for "bush monkey" as opposed to "obama monkey." And I'd say Bush looks way more like a monkey anyway.

Kinda funny, really. All you fashionable Manhattanista wankers seeing racism under every stone, because other folks don't share your enthusiasm for Big Ears.When you look on the back of the pink slip that's coming for most of you, remember it would be racist to criticize a black president for the policies that cost you your jobs.
The outrage and misery of the onanist elite, I'm lovin' it.

I can honestly, and proudly, say, Yes, it applies.

Heh, just taking the piss, Gato. Este amor es fuerte.

Nah, good catch. Such careless mispellings are more befitting of a nypost article than a comment attached to a Gawker item. And I'm not even being facetious.

All the Arabs in his cartoons are drawn with smell lines radiating off of them, all of the homosexuals are portrayed as mincing queens.
He's a fucking bigot. Fuck him. And fuck you for defending his asinine racist cartoon.

No sympathy.

Oh, you're so right mharker. It was wrong of us to pre-judge Sean Delonas's allusion to a chimpanzee, so satisfyingly murdered in the cartoon. Because the "stimulus bill" quip clearly refers to that NJ incident. Delonas's history of obnoxiously bigoted cartoons shouldn't figure into it at all. How wrong we were to hastily jump to judgement, a fucking half- year later after we discussed it.
Still as rotten, as intended.

ETA: You're argument/assumption that Delonas was not being "purposeful" in his racism is belied by his long history of doing racist cartoons. This is made abundantly clear in the link that you did not bother to look at before posting.
10/06/09
The fuck you really isn't necessary. The commenter wasn't defending a racist cartoon. They just believed it had a different (and non-racist) meaning.
10/06/09
Also, I've had it with people denying that blatant racism is blatant racism. At some point that bullshit needs to END. Just because it's the president doesn't mean that it's suddenly okay to portray a black man as a monkey, or a witch doctor with a bone through his nose.
Jesus fucking Christ, it's like people want to deny the entire history of racist iconography just because they don't like Obama. I'm sick of it.
10/06/09
Delonas didn't think it through? What's your next point - Glenn Beck is a deep philosophical thinker?
@Cicada: what s/he said.
10/06/09
I don't think someone deserves a fuck you for overlooking a link. The horror!
And just know that when you say fuck you to people that your message is going to be totally lost.
10/06/09
No?
Was there a popular black man advocating a stimulus package at the time?
Yes?
Alright, then I think we can forget about the monkey that was sadly killed.
Also: Cite your source.
10/06/09
They didn't just miss the link, they missed the entire damn post. And they defended Delonas portraying a black man as a monkey (because, gosh, it might not be racist), as though there isn't a long and well documented history of bigots portraying black men and women as monkeys.
At some point people are going to have to get real and just own that racist imagery, even if it's aimed at someone you don't like, is still racist imagery.
And yeah, I said "fuck you". Would it make you feel better if I said I was sorry?
Here: Golly, I sure am sorry I lost my temper and said "fuck you", mharker.
All better?

So what else do you do for equality, besides rant about cartoons on blogs?

If you really think portraying a black man as a monkey has the same meaning and context as portraying a white man as a monkey, then you know nothing about the history of this country.
Yep, all things aren't equal. You should really be mad at the generations of racists who have used portraying black men and women as monkeys as a way to demean and dehumanize them. And yet you are mad at the people who point out this fact. Odd.

Get a life. #seandelonas

I love that you came back over a week later to post a rant that ends with "Get a life." That's delicious. #seandelonas

The cartoon is depicting actual events where a monkey was killed by police. The cartoonist used it to make a political statement.
Is he racist? I don't know, but I wouldn't jump to the conclusion over a tasteless joke. Unsensitive, yes.

I guess anything is excusable if it attacks Obama, right? How dare anyone call racist bullshit racist bullshit. They must have drunk the kool-aid.
Maybe, just maybe, you should do some research before you defend a bigot against charges of racism. Just a thought.

A NY Post cartoon that's comparing the President to an animal, joking about shooting him, and appeared in a major metropolitan New York daily newspaper seen by millions. How many limed corpses do you have beneath the floorboards of your barn?
10/06/09
Google any cartoon and you can replace somebody from just about any race and find a reason to be offended. I already stated that I found it kind of disgusting, but wouldn't have jumped to the conclusion that the person is a racist. Go ahead though, make accusations.
Using the avatar of what appears to be an enlightened lady doesn't fool me especially when you appear to be hiding behind it and rhetoric to spew emotional but not well supported and far from factual ideas.
Nice, insinuate that I'm some kind of evil murderous perversion of humanity, just because I don't agree with your opinion. That's enlightenment for you.
10/06/09
So you didn't bother to click the link to the other racist cartoons by Delonas either?
It isn't "jumping to conclusions" when the man has a long history of being a bigot. But go ahead and defend him. It makes your argument all the more credible.

Your last para: I was making a "Glee" reference. Relax.
