If some people find that cartoon racist....fine. I personally don't. I feel that cartoon was to suggest that someone stupid had written the bill just like peopled used a monkey in reference to Bush being stupid. That is how I took it. However, this is all over the news today. The link that I provided from youtube shows that Jay-Z was being racist and that the only channel that said one word about it was Fox News. If it had been a white person being racist, it would have been all over. That is the double standards I'm talking about. I still truly believe that the monkey was in reference to the stupidity of the bill....not on the president's race.
