President Obama Mocked As A Runaway Slave?
Pro-Romney Cartoon in Fox News Mogul's Tabloid Might As Well Have Been Signed By The KKK Imperial Wizard

Nationwide (October 31, 2012) -- Fox News mogul Rupert Murdoch's New York Post published last week what some are calling the most profoundly disrespectful and racist cartoon ever about President Obama. The cartoon depicts an angry white man on horseback (Mitt Romney) chasing down a terrified skinny black man fleeing on foot (President Obama) - and the Romney figure is aiming an assault rifle and attached bayonet at the Obama figure's backside.
"The cartoon clearly evokes an image from the Old South of an overseer or slave catcher chasing down a runaway slave," says a report by two interpreters of code language and political cartoons at www.lyndonlarouchewatch.org/obama-KKK-new-york-post.htm
"Don't believe the Post if they claim this is just payback satire on the President's quip about horses and bayonets that exposed Romney's ignorance of defense issues," said Dennis King, one of the authors of the report, referring to the final Presidential campaign debate on Oct. 22. "This goes way, way beyond satire. For one thing, Obama's quip didn't refer to assault rifles or to using horses to chase down black people. The dog whistle in this cartoon is so loud that anyone can hear it if they aren't in deep denial."
The report said that the Post cartoon was an example of "the knee-jerk hatred of Obama by so many Republicans [that] goes back to group fantasies of the Rebellious Slave, or in this case of the uppity educated n___, who must be put back in his place."
The cartoonist, Sean Delonas, was accused of racism in 2009 when one of his cartoons depicted a rabid chimpanzee dying on a sidewalk after being shot by New York cops. The caption strongly implied that the chimp was meant to represent President Obama. The Post said it was sorry people were offended, but never fully apologized. (Both cartoons are included with the report.)
Mr. King is a journalist who has written extensively on coded forms of bigotry. His co-author of the report, Geraldine Pauling, is an independent scholar and long-time member of the International Psychohistorical Association, which is noted for its analyses of political cartoons.

Hello All:
I know I'm probably preaching to the choir already; most of you who are on my mailing list are already Black people of consciousness - so for me to tell you to BOYCOTT THE NEW YORK POST is probably an insult to your intelligence, right?
I mean, after the chimpanzee piece they did three years ago, who would buy the racist rag other than ignorant people, or other racists? And that old saw about reading it to know what your enemies are saying about you, only goes so far.
So the reason I'm sending this is so we make sure the rest of the unenlightened Blacks stop reading the racist rag immediately, if not sooner. This includes anything else owned or controlled by Rupert Murdoch, and his cohorts.
We have to come out strongly and vehemently against this latest salvo; and stop subscribing to or reading the atrocious rag now. We can put the local businesses in our communities on notice that they are not to carry the rag. It may take some activist action to put the Post on Notice that they are persona non grata in the Black community. This may mean also letting brothers and sisters you see reading it on the Subway and buses etc. that they are a traitor to themselves and their people when they purchase and read the post.
Make this message viral in order to get rid of the virus that is the New York Post - now.
Thanks
Stay Blessed &

Will you please give it a rest already. You fucking left-wingers always lying and making up things. I'm sick to death of the whole bunch of you. And he would be half a run away slave. Actually he'd be the son of a slave that was raped by a master.
