Yesterday, the day after President Obama signed his stimulus bill into law, the NY Post ran a cartoon depicting the bill's "author" as a dead monkey, covered in blood after being shot by police. You can see the image by clicking on the link below.
Please join me and other ColorOfChange.org members in demanding that the Post apologize publicly and fire the editor who allowed this cartoon to go to print:

Mr. Carlucci,
How sad that your newspaper desires publicity so much, you are willing to stoop so low. I was personally offended by the racist cartoon published by your newspaper; Not only as an African American Women, but as an American. We are finally to a place in history, where we are seeing a positive change in our country. More than 50 years after the old Jim Crow South, your newspapers chose to take a giant step backwards. You should be ashamed. You have not only insulted our president, but you have disgraced your friends, family, employees, and viewers.
I pray that you will somehow be enlightened and realize all the people whom you have insulted; I pray that by the grace of God you become bigger person and make a public apology. May God forgive you for your moral transgressions, and may God help me to forgive you as well.
Sincerely,
P. Walker Williams, League City, TX.
