		<description>Dumi--I completely agree that the cartoon is obviously racist--that was clear to me from the beginning.  I was just commenting that when I initially saw it, I was completely bewildered because, apart from its racist image, it doesn&#039;t offer any type of commentary/meaning/message.  And I am not excluding the possibility that racism was the only commentary it was meant to convey.  It just kind of made me go...wtF?!</description>

		<description>Ashwini- I think the Post editor&#039;s response in the form of blaming Sharpton for being an opportunist demonstrates the ways actions don&#039;t need justifications or even thinly veiled excuses. I would have even been satisfied with an in depth comment that I disagreed with (okay not satisfied but you feel me), but nothing was offered. I totally think the post did it with the intention of getting attention, but that doesn&#039;t stop the need for people to nip this type of hateful/threatening commentary in the bud.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Aryan Supremacy- I usually don&#039;t post comments from avowed white supremacist but I thought you comment was important for a couple of reasons. For a day, I&#039;ve been fielding and combating comments that suggest &quot;race was not an issue&quot; in the cartoon from &quot;well meaning&quot; White, Black and Brown folks, who claim to be liberal. I find it telling that these &quot;well meaning&quot; folks can&#039;t see race in this while you do. It makes me wonder, who are the real white supremacists? Those who avow the humanity of Whites and the non-humanity of Blacks, Jews, etc. or those who turn a blind eye to assaults on people metaphorically, visually, and literally. The latter certainly supports a more insidious and powerful white supremacy in my view.</description>
