New York Post ‘Accused’ of Linking Dead Monkey/Chimp To President Obama


Has The New York Post newspaper sunk to an all-time low, by referencing President Barack Obama to a Monkey (Chimp) or is this merely just a case of misunderstood innocent advertising?

Al Sharpton -- and other black opinion makers like CNN's Roland Martin -- blasted the cartoon as an attack on Obama's skin color and as a racial reference to African-Americans. The cartoon, published on Wednesday, appeared to compare President Barack Obama to a violent chimpanzee.

The New York Post has denied these allegations and refuse to apologize.

So, what do you think?
