Bush was referred to as a chimp many times but no one called racism for that. There were numerous ones showing him as a monkey but no one said a word.

The only true ignorance here is that humans think that they are not bipedal primates.

We are just another form of Ape, so I don`t see how this can be in any way offensive unless you are totally a moron when it comes to Evolution or you are a bible thumper like Coach.

Because it was obvious Bush isn't a black man...

Also let us not forget that Obama is just as much white as he is black, so to think of him in any racial context is just ignorant.

We Diverged from Chimpanzees, just as all mammals diverged from one celled organisms. Divergence does not mean one species has to end as another diverges. Life is continually evolving and branching off.

Obviously you need a basic understanding of Biology which you do not have. How did you go through the school system not knowing any of this?

I hope these 2 videos help.

Anyone who thinks that this cartoon is racist is FUCKING STUPID.

Obama did not write the stimulus bill. It was mostly written by higher up democrats in congress, pelosi included. (The creator of this comic even said that.

The Comic is obviously making fun of the Stimulus bill, claiming it looked like it was written by a monkey.

There is no allusions to Obama here, since he didn't write it.

Also....HOW MANY TIMES HAS BUSH BEEN COMPARED TO A MONKEY? Why is there a double standard? Just because he is white? That is hypocrisy.

Then call me stupid.

This has nothing to do with the origin of humans. Nor does it matter if Obama wrote the stimulus package or not. He certainly supported the bill.

The comic is racist. The NY Post reasoning that it had to do with the shooting of a chimpanzee in Connecticut is pretty lame. What does the shooting of that animal have to do with the stimulus package? Makes no damn sense.

I feel it is meant as an insult.

I guess you are unfamiliar of how editorial cartoons are drawn. They are meant to be purely metaphorical.

You dumbass. The Chimpanzee in the cartoon is the Chimpanzee that got shot in Connecticut.

The cartoon is implying that the Chimp that got shot wrote the Stimulus bill. (and since he's dead they will have to find someone else to write it)

Obama didn't write the bill, So it's not aimed at him.

It's just a cartoon making a joke of 2 current events (the monkey being shot and the stimulus bill)

Hmmm.

If humans involved from apes, why is it that presently there are no apes still evolving into humans?

What? Was it one in a gazillion ape that just happened to become this highly developed animal called man, homosapien (whatever you want to call it)?

Is it because of changes in climate, nature, etc?

And if man is just an evolved beast how did he develope conscience, self awareness, logic and reason, ability to come up with so many different languages?
