Benjamin Todd Jealous, President of the NAACP, characterised the New York Post cartoon of cops shooting a chimp "an invitation to assassinate the President." Jealous called for The Post to fire its Editor-In-Chief and the cartoonist who created to piece, and for the public to boycott The Post.
Same old shit, different day. The NAACP would rather intimidate and control speech than to improve relations between the races.
As I said in my post about this earlier today, the cartoon is stupid, not racist. If The Post editor or cartoonist are to be disciplined it should be for stupidity, not racism.
Jealous's characterization of the cartoon as an invitation to assassinate the President is equally stupid, unless of course Jealous really thinks that police officers would be interested in such an invitation, or that a potential assassin would become a cop in order to shoot the President.
Jealous should leave the President's security to the Secret Service.
