The guy claims he didn't know that it was racist. Then one has to wonder, what exactly did he THINK it meant? He resigned a few days ago as a result of this.  _________________Buy my books! http://michaelaventrella.com

Then one has to wonder, what exactly did he THINK it meant? i don't see a difference between the two. they are both equally horrible. lol, they knew it was racist and because they are cowards they use that lame ass 'i didn't know it was racist' reasoning. own up and embrace your racisim.

Re: Post election cartoon thread I honesty didn't get the alleged racism of the cartoon until it was pointed out to me. I'd be more bothered by those that saw it and immediately went black monkey = Obama. Thats very odd thinking to go to.

And if the mayor didn't know it was racist, as he claims, then you have to ask what he thought was funny about it and why he forwarded it.
