And I also take a feminist approach by focusing the lens on gender and race together which I think actually motivated the cartoon, I use well known covers like "It's a Jungle Out There," and the Vogue and New Yorker but also a New Yorker cover that got far less press and an image of Condi with a monkey in her belly . . . As well as reference to Oscar Grant and others killed by the police this year alone. There's a lot going on in that image that cannot be denied. Along with the suggestions of the post you mention here, I would add that bloggers talking about this can submit their blog posts as oped pieces with the link on my blog. http://likeawhisper.wordpress.com/2009/02/19/ny-post-says-humor-trumps-racism/ or by going straight to the NY Post it isn’t just the juxtaposition of the two images, which is chilling, it is also the caption above the police officers’ heads which states “They’ll have to find someone else to write the next stimulus bill”
