No! It isn’t even related to 0bama. He did not write the bill.

NO...

According to Eric Holder....he said today...

In a speech marking Black History Month, Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. on Wednesday labeled the United States “essentially a nation of cowards” when it comes to race relations.

Mr. Holder, the first black attorney general, told Justice Department employees that “this nation has still not come to grips with its racial past” and suggested Black History Month could be used to spark more candid discussion of racial issues.

“This will be, at first, a process that is both awkward and painful, but the rewards are, I believe, potentially great,” Mr. Holder said. “The alternative is to allow to continue the polite, restrained mixing that now passes as meaningful interaction but that in reality accomplishes very little.”

Mr. Holder noted that increased dialogue would help advance what should be “nuanced, principled and spirited” debate on topics such as affirmative action.

Is that a racist joke?

Only if you live your life looking through race colored glasses, and strive to be perpetually upset about such things.

No. But you can expect the race hustlers and the protest prostitutes to find racism where there isn’t any.

I think it is a play on the old definition of infinity where a combination of an infinite number of monkeys, typewriters and time produces all the great works of literature and the KJV of the Holy Bible.

Since this was done in such great haste, it was obviously the work of only one monkey.

I don’t want to put up the link but there’s a site with multiple pictures comparing Pres. Bush to a chimp. That never seemed to bother the left.

To me, it looks like the old joke about putting enough monkeys at enough typewriters (keyboards for all you youngsters) and they will eventually write something...either that or what kind of a monkey would write this crap???

Funny...only lefists see racism in everything that is negative and can be by any stretch of the imagination turned into a racial epithet..it is ALWAYS on their minds...
my grandson (age two and a half) climbs on everything and we all call him “monkey boy.” Good thing he’s Irish, I guess, or he would be scarred for life...

It’s neither racist nor funny.

We already know from the campaign season that references to primates in any context is a racist slur.

It’s obvious to me that the cartoon does not imply any connection whatsoever between the chimp and Obama. The cartoon does serve an unintended, yet useful purpose though, as a sort of Rorschach ink blot test, so that people (like Al Sharpton) who look at it and think there is a connection between the chimp and Obama reveal themselves to be very racist.
