I often wondered how Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Rev Wright, and every other black race hustler in America was going make a living now that we have a black president. The fact that a black man reached the highest office on planet earth pretty much takes the wind out of their sales — or at least it did for a minute.

Fortunately for the race hustlers, the liberal media threw them a life line in the form of phony racism claims directed at a cartoon. I bet Al Sharpton was relieved to have an opportunity to break out the bullhorns and picket signs. It’s ironic that just yesterday, our new Attorney General was calling America a “nation of cowards” when it comes to discussing race. As I wrote yesterday, it is this kind of nonsense over the cartoon that makes people afraid to talk about race.

That cartoon clearly coincided with the huge national story about the Chimp that went wild and had to be shot. Only a paranoid kook or a person who makes a living labeling people and things as ‘racist’ (the race hustlers) could think that cartoon was racist.

Anyone can look at the cartoon above and get the idea. The stimulus bill couldn’t have been any worse if we had just let a crazed monkey write it. It was full of pork, nobody read it, and it cost a trillion dollars. The race hustlers want you to believe the real message was nothing more than a stealth attempt to call president Obama a monkey. First of all, Obama isn’t the one who wrote the damn stimulus bill. It was Nancy Pelosi, David Obey, and Barney Frank with a little help from Harry Reid. Secondly, the cartoon follows exactly what happened with the real monkey case. The police did in fact the shoot the crazed chimp.

I was blown away when I first heard the racism claims. It would have never occurred to me to see a racist meaning in it. I didn’t think the cartoon was very good or very funny, but racism never entered my mind. The cartoon came out within a day of the chimp story so it was quite timely. This is nothing more than a desperate attempt by liberals and race hustlers to keep their societal role as perpetual victims of “white devils.”

Real racism does still exist in this country, but when you label things racist that clearly are not it makes people cynical. Then when a real act of racism occurs nobody pays attention, because they figure they’ve heard it all before.
