DaemonSeid seems to want to assume that any monkey reference (or actually chimp too) is about Obama even when it really probably isn't. And that's why I'm basically asking him if he thinks that we just forgo any humor with monkey/chimps whatever as long Obama is president, even if the jokes aren't about Obama.

You know people aren't stupid right?
You did go back and see the links I posted that shows clearly this isn't the first time the reference was made.
You did see the letter I posted here from the New York Assoc of Black Journalists.
Clearly they don't believe that should be allowed to slide.
I don't know...maybe they see the same thing I am seeing so...tell ya what...
Since you disagree, then make a clear argument that the cartoon is NO WAY portrays Obama as a stereotypical primate.
