I found the cartoon at the NY Daily News. I was not "authorized" to access it at the UT newspaper, The Daily Texan [LINKED below -- more articles found there in "Opinion"]

Austin - University of Texas: Daily Texan Protestors: racism still affects this campus

[winkadink]

I object to the word “boy” and quite possibly another word. Who do I object to so I may receive an apology?

A couple days ago the Daily Caller posted dozens of Tweets it claimed were from Trayvon’s account.

Trayvon was using @No_Limit_N**** as his account name, along with a picture of him displaying his gold teeth.

Anyone know if that has been factually confirmed as Trayvon’s account?

There's so much false information floating around.

Also read that the No_Limit_N**** is slang for Black on White robberies, or “reparations” in gangsta talk.

The cartoonist ... apologized separately. She no longer works for the University of Texas' student newspaper, according to the board.

The editorial board said it will take steps, including requiring all newspaper employees to take part in a seminar each semester "about the relationship between race and the media."

Abject self-denunciations, employment terminations, re-indoctrination gulags .. my my, what useful little fascist apparatchiks UT & the USSA are producing !

Anyone out there still harboring doubts about McCarthy's conclusions ?

Some days I'm grateful that my span of years on earth is nearing an end.

How exactly is she wrong?
Trayvon was never shown by the media as a man, but always as a boy, as a smiling innocent boy, it took the blogs to show his true likeness, grill and all.
Is this the new mohammad cartoon, and will those that look like obama take it on themselves to make this artist go into hiding for her life?

[SECURE AMERICA]

Wow. This Nation is going to hell.
Society has become so weak.
Everyone is offended by something on a daily basis. It is a wonder we all can get through a day......

[no dems]

she said in a statement. “I would like to make it explicitly clear that I am not a racist and that I am personally appalled by the killing of Trayvon Martin.....”

I will not bow down to your idol, liberals. I refuse. I don't care WHAT you do to me anymore. God will deliver me, and even if he does not, I still won't bow down to your idol. Throw me into the furnace.

You simply can not tell me what to think, what to say and how to view things from your perspective. You can not break my will. No threats, no punishment not even death is going to make me change my mind. So, now what are you going to do?

P.S. The lion's den awaits you.

The Daily Texan's editorial board apologized Wednesday for running an editorial cartoon that referred to Trayvon Martin, an unarmed black teenager shot and killed in Florida, as a "colored boy."

If the cartoonist had instead written "boy of color", I'm sure nobody would have complained. Because we all know that "colored boy" and "boy of color" are dissimilar in every conceivable way (just as are "poetry book" and "book of poetry"). Right?

Can’t be telling the TRUTH in Kirachi on the Colorado.

[Arrowhead1952]

This was a topic on KLBJ - fairly conservvative talk radio station in Austin - the other day. People were offended by the words “colored boy” and it got pulled from the site.

[GeronL]

I don’t see anything wrong with the cartoon

[Kazan]

Does this mean the National Association for the Advancement of COLORED People will have to change its name?

[Terry Mross]

The lady announced she’s not a racist. Would anyone in this day and age admit to being a racist?
