Do Black People Really Believe They Are Apes?

I often criticize Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson for their non-leadership antics. They have no program, no plan, no strategy, except to wait for some white idiot to give them a platform. The New York Post just obliged.

The Post printed a cartoon of the Chimp, Travis, that had to be shot by Stamford Connecticut police when he attacked and damned near literally tore the face off of a friend of the chimp’s owner. The caption of the cartoon referred to the stimulus plan just past. The exact cartoon caption reads:

“They’ll Have to Find Someone Else to Write the Next Stimulus Bill.”

Now, Rev. Al Sharpton has been given an issue! Many blacks, and white whose support could be better used to support a race-specific full-employment act for blacks, support Sharpton and his non-sense antics--marching to protest this “insult.” With blacks being shot down like stray dogs in the inner cities, you’d think that Sharpton with his one or two member organization, National Action Network, might consider the randon murder of blacks by other blacks and Hispanics in places like South Los Angeles at least as important as the killing of a mad chimp. Apparently not.

More disturbing to me is the fact that American blacks would give such a non-sense cartoon, which is not even funny, any consideration at all. The question that comes to my mind is this: “Do black people subconsciously believe that they are apes?”

Comedians and others repeatedly referred to Former President George W. Bush as an ape for at least six of his eight years in the White House. So, did Rev. Sharpton protest? No! Then it must be because the good Reverend did not believe that George Bush was an ape? Do Sharpton and any pitiful followers believe that black people are apes?

When are we as a people going to grow up? We have an American black President in the White House and we are hyperventilating about a cartoon depicting some white cop shooting an ape!

Al, his black coterie and white sympathizers, will be marching in New York City Tomorrow! How stupid!
