Chimp Cartoon controversy
Another protest is planned today at the offices of the New York Post. The source of the controversy is the cartoon artist Sean Delonas prepared for the paper yesterday. Civil rights activist Al Sharpton says it invokes racial stereotypes by linking African-Americans to monkeys.
The Post says that wasn't the intent and defends the cartoon as a hybrid of two stories in the news: criticism of the federal stimulus bill and the rampage by an ape in Connecticut. Post editor Col Allan calls Sharpton "nothing more than a publicity opportunist."
