KILLING THAT LITTLE MONKEY!
-“ARTIK EKONOMI’YI CANLANDIRMA PAKETINI IMZALAMASI ICIN YENI BIRINI BULMAK ZORUNDALAR…”
NEW YORK POST CHIMP CARTOON COMPARES STIMULUS AUTHOR TO DEAD PRIMATE!
Murdoch’un gazetesinin ýrkçý karikatürü ABD’yi karýþtýrdý. Ünlü medya patronu Rupert Murdoch’a ait tutucu çizgideki bulvar gazetesi New York Post, yayýnladýðý bir karikatürle ortalýðý karýþtýrdý. Baþta siyahlar olmak üzere insan haklarý savunucularý ve çeþitli sosyal çevreler gazeteye karþý boykottan davaya kadar birçok giriþimle tepki göstermeye hazýrlanýyor.
Gazetenin 18 Þubat tarihli sayýsýnda yer alan karikatürde, bir gün önce Connecticut eyaletinde insanlara saldýrdýðý için polislerce öldürülen bir þempanzeye gönderme yapýlýyor.
Karikatürün alt yazýsýnda ateþ eden polislerden biri diðer polise, “Artýk, ekonomiyi canlandýrma paketini imzalamasý için yeni birini bulmak zorundalar” diye söylüyor. Bu ifade ile, ayný gün 787 milyar dolarlýk ekonomiyi canlandýrma paketini imzalayan Obama’ya gönderme yapýlýyor. Obama’nýn, siyah þempanze olarak çizilmesi, ABD’deki siyah çevreleri ayaða kaldýrýrken, birçok kiþi de karikatürde Obama’nýn öldürülmesine dikkat çekiyor.
New York eyalet senatörü Eric Adams, karikatürü “siyahlarýn sokaklarda linç edildiði ýrkçý günlere dönüþ” olarak nitelendirdi.
Ünlü siyah haklarý savunucusu vaiz Al Sharpton da, ýrkçý dönemde siyahlarýn sürekli olarak maymuna benzetilmesini hatýrlatarak, karikatürün bu ýrkçý bilinçaltýnýn ifadesi olduðunu savundu.
Karikatürü görmediðini belirterek yorum yapmaktan kaçýnan Obama ise, “Ancak, New York Post’ta okunmaya deðer birþey olduðunu sanmýyorum” dedi.
A cartoon likening the author of the stimulus bill, perhaps President Barack Obama, with a rabid chimpanzee graced the pages of the New York Post on Wednesday.
The drawing, from famed cartoonist Sean Delonas, is rife with violent imagery and racial undertones. In it, two befuddled-looking police officers holding guns look over the dead and bleeding chimpanzee that attacked a woman in Stamford, Connecticut.
"They'll have to find someone else to write the next stimulus bill," reads the caption.
An email to Delonas and a call to the New York Post went unreturned. The cartoon appears both on the New York Post website and page 12 of the Wednesday paper.
At its most benign, the cartoon suggests that the stimulus bill was so bad, monkeys may as well have written it. Others believe it compares the president to a rabid chimp. Either way, the incorporation of violence and (on a darker level) race into politics is bound to be controversial. Perhaps that's what Delonas wanted.
