"Brooklyn's chief librarian has yanked a nearly 80-year-old book from the shelves because it depicts Africans as monkeys."

I see some dated depictions of blacks but no monkeys

Liberals aways bring monkeys into these things which to me says that there is projection going on

[Sloth]

Yeah, I’m not seeing the monkeys...

projection

That was my thought as well. Herge's work uses the standard cartoonist caricature of the day for Africans--the lips and mouth depicted as a dot on a rounded white protrusion on a black face--that every cartoonist used, including Rube Goldberg and nearly every early animation studio. Whatever else might be said, they don't resemble monkeys. The protest says much more about the protesters and their need to read "racism" into everything than it does about Herge.
