Caricature

In the news they feature a cartoon which depicts a chimpanzee shot dead by 2 policemen. The caption related to the Stimulus Bill that was recently implemented by the Obama Government and the fact that the people need a new author to chart our passage to revival of the Economy. Since President Obama is the one considered the author of this Stimulus Bill and that he is an African-American, largely associated with monkeys and apes, it is clear the implications of this cartoon and its outright statement.

 

Caricature

Chimpanzee shot dead by the police

And made to personify the President in a release

Racial slurs with violent intent

Is this cartoonist so dangerously bent

Can he not see the this treasonous flaw

Any such cartoon should be an infringement of a Law

There is little doubt at his poor taste in satire

Unfortunately it’s provocative  and invites guns on hire

Removing this cartoon is too late, we must scrub each mind

Every racial slur and provocation should be removed from 2009
