I don't think it does, I say this only in the sense that one can argue that it shows a woman or black woman subserviant to a man.

I think it's a nasty political cartoon and one can take it as racist or not, I don't. I think it is in poor taste, and esp the way they draw poor Condi's teeth. Even SNL does this to her.

This country has come a long way. Ten years ago, maybe even five...you'd never see a political cartoon like that about a black figure or woman without a real backlash.

See, but the thing is... she IS subserviant to a man. I'm sure she voices her opinion, but if W says, "Condi, get this done!", I'll bet she does it. She DOES have prominant front teeth.

So are we mad because it portrays her accurately (admittedly, with a bit of a "bite") or are we mad because the guy tagged her with a bunch of stereotypes?

If someone portrayed me with overly large glasses and barefeet, saying to my husband, "Yes, dear", it wouldn't be insulting because it comes too close to the truth. I wouldn't get outraged on behalf of all womanhood because someone had the nerve to draw a woman, barefoot, being subserviant to a man. We're smarter than this and we're losing our sense of humor.

The cartoons about Condi should encourage us. The media is attempting to convince people that Condi is a witless mouthpiece. She disproves that every single time she is shown speaking on tv.
