Persistent simian stereotypes tagged to blacks are not mere small and unimportant post-racial leftovers of the bad old days, argues a UCLA psychology professor.

Though much of the reaction to the cartoon has been outrage at the implication that our 44th president is remotely simian, there have been other messages in the blogosphere as well. A few pleaded with us to see reason in this post-Obama era. They begged us to understand that the cartoonist clearly meant to impugn congress, Wall Street executives and academic economists and that there was no racial subtext to the piece. Others saw the cartoon as racist but declined to become outraged. Saw the injustice in the image, but saw it as a minor injustice, not one worth worrying too much about. After all, having a black president means that America is post-racial and does not need to worry about petty things like harmless pictures in a paper.

The messages in my inbox mirrored the commentaries I saw online. A few (though not many) defending the cartoon. Many more exasperated with indifference. All of them insisted this was a little thing.

The best science available suggests otherwise.

For the better part of the past seven years, my colleagues and I have conducted research on the psychological phenomenon of dehumanization. Specifically, we have examined cognitive associations between African Americans and non-human apes. And the association leads to bad things. When we began the research, we were skeptical of whether or not participants even knew that people of African descent were caricatured as ape-like — as less than human — throughout the better part of the past 400 years. And, in fact, many were not. However, even those who were unaware of this historical association demonstrated a cognitive association between blacks and apes. That is, when they thought of apes, they thought of blacks and vice versa — when they thought of blacks, they thought of apes.

Most disturbing of all, however, was a study of media coverage and the death penalty. Looking at a sample of death-eligible cases in Philadelphia from 1979 to 1999, the more that media coverage used ape-like metaphors to describe a murder trial (i.e. “urban jungle,” “aping the suspects behavior,” etc.) the more likely black suspects, but not white suspects were to be put to death.

Not surprisingly, black suspects were much more likely to be described in ape-like terms. And they were more frequently executed by the state.

Similar psychological mechanisms of discrimination are at work in the bloated incarceration rates of young black men, the trenchant educational achievement gap between blacks and whites, and the racial bias evidenced in law enforcement officer’s use of force. Though some are demonstrating leadership towards equality, we find that many of our nation’s oldest racial shames have persisted into a period when a black person can reasonably aspire to the highest office in the land.

I mention these depressing findings because it is tempting to ignore them in the wake of President Obama’s inauguration — to downplay the significance of “isolated events” of bigotry and “harmless words or pictures.” But precisely because the dream of post-raciality is seductive for so many, it is all the more important that we not forget that cartoons like the one in today’s New York Post are never isolated-and consequently, never harmless.

Today’s Post cartoon is not far removed from the “Curious George” Obama sock puppet, a “Curious George” Obama T-shirt, a Japanese advertisement depicting Obama as a monkey, and countless other Obama/monkey comparisons that cropped up throughout the year-long Democratic primary and presidential campaigns. Psychological science has long known that words and pictures, far from harmless, can be the very instruments of dehumanization necessary for collective violence-regardless of how innocently they are intended.

LOL

Obama is a disgrace to black people.

Is Obama going to financially reward black Katrina victims for having been racially discriminated against by Bush?

Where is the money?

I don’t think Obama would have any problem, hypothetically, with slavery happening all over again.

Maybe one remembers that Kanye West said, “Bush doesn’t care about black people.”

We have uncovered something far more horrifying.

It is practically like Obama “doesn’t care about black people.” (And Obama is black.)

There are all sorts of personalities.

There actually are screwed up black people who secretly don’t like their own kind.

There may even be black lunatics or freaks who would fancy themselves prancing around wearing a KKK outfit or uniform with the swastika on it.

Maybe Obama even fantasizes about hanging black people by nooses.

I like black people.

Black people are cool!

Black people are great.

But now, white people don’t have to worry about Obama interfering with racial discrimination inflicted by white people against racial minorities while Obama is president of the United States.

It is practically just as bad as if the white supremacist at heart, George W. Bush, is still running the country.

For example, Bush murdered a black woman—Margie Schoedinger.

“One of those very least were George Bush’s personal complicity in the death (murder to be precise) of my friend Margie Schoedinger in September of 2003. Determining the exact whereabouts and contacts of [then] president-elect George Bush on September 21 thru 22, 2003, should be entirely lacking in difficulty” (Leola McConnell (Nevada Progressive Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate in 2010). Retrieved November 29, 2008, from http://leolaforussenate.blogspot.com/2008/02/leola-mcconnell-for-us-senate.html).

Obama should have the guts to assemble workers from the FBI and/or one or more state attorney general offices and say something similar to the following:

“I, Obama, am the most powerful person in America now. Bush is no longer the president and thus no longer the most powerful person in America. I, Obama, am in control now. I, Obama, demand that the ultimate law-enforcement workers in this country investigate Bush and then proceed to have him locked away for life or executed for murdering the black woman—Margie Schoedinger. I, Obama, am black, and I find Bush’s murder of Margie Schoedinger to be personally offensive. I, Obama, feel it is once again like the time of slavery when white people killed black people with no sheriff, prosecutor, or court to stop it from happening or prosecute it. I, Obama, am not going to go around in the modern-day democracy feeling like a black slave of white people—especially while I am the president of the United States. I, Obama, want Bush brought down for murdering a black woman. I, Obama, want Bush brought down for racially discriminating against black people pursuant to Hurricane Katrina. I, Obama, am going to supply financial rewards to the black people who were harmed by Bush’s racial discrimination and who are still alive. I, Obama, am taken aback by Bush having been so evil in wrongfully causing the deaths of so many black people pursuant to his racist response relative to Hurricane Katrina. I, Obama, am going to take advantage of my time as a racial-minority president and not allow “Bush’s KKK-Neo-Nazi mentality” to rule over and oppress black people in America.”

Obama is not doing anything about Bush’s murder of Margie Schoedinger.

Obama has not given a penny to any black victims of Bush’s racial discrimination.

Obama needs to say: “I can change and act like a black person instead of disgracing myself all over the place!”

Obama needs to say: “Change—Yes I can!”

Cartoons

http://www.amptoons.com/blog/archives/2004/11/20/racist-cartoons-of-condoleezza-rice/

A Madison DJ Named Sly Sylvyster refferred to Rice as Aunt Jemima. He apologised to blacks but not to rice. He called Colon Powel an Uncle Tom.

http://www.channel3000.com/news/3943395/detail.html

Three is a referencr to Rice as as Bushes Porch Monkey in this blog. It is rather obscure.

http://www.dibsblog.com/index.php?s=oprah

The cartoons and the DJ were blatant. In Madison, there was comdemnation of DJ Sylvester But the NCAAP biggies were nowhere to be found. There is truely a double standard. There are many more examples form past campaigns, the way Clarence Thomas was treated etc, But it all gets explained away or ignored. Whats the point? Any objective person can see it.

When did that happen? Seriously. Maybe I don’t view the same news media as you. When was Rice portrayed that way, and by whom? Can you give us specific names of papers, cartoonists, whatever? Thanks.

I didn’t hear about the chimp attack story until Wayne told me when I got home from work. Shortly afterward, Tweety showed the “cartoon” on Hardball. Before seeing the “punch line” in the balloon, I already questioned what could possibly make this funny. My first visceral reaction after reading it was “Oh my god – he’s making a racist joke plainly showing a dead, bullet-ridden chimp as President Obama? And if that wasn’t the cartoonist’s intention, then WTF was? I’m totally confused, and the cartoonist’s own ‘explanation’ that the dead chimp wasn’t President Obama, and referring to Nancy Pelosi’ doesn’t help us understand exactly what he is trying to portray. Also, he has to realize that not everyone seeing it is aware of the chimp attack incident, so was he counting on only the tri-state area (NY/NJ/CT) would see it? Anyone who had not been aware of the chimp attack would be seriously wondering ‘why the dead chimp?” The whole thing, no matter what way you look at it, is disturbing at the very least.

And, as others have said here, there was nothing funny about the chimp attack itself. It goes without saying that no one should keep a chimp as a pet. Some here have mentioned that ‘it served the owner right’, and in my mind that would be true if the owner had been attacked, but it was the owner’s friend who was attacked and is now in critical condition. Just wanted to clarify that.

Wayne and I also discussed what we thought our reaction would have been if this ‘cartoon’ had been published 6 months ago by a liberal-leaning cartoonist/paper, with 8 years of ‘Chimpy” references in mind. We honestly believe that we would have been similarly outraged. It’s just wrong.

How many stories have we read over the last few weeks about “President Obama’s” bill? How many AP stories and Reuters stories referred to the bill as the President’s victory, or the President’s bill?

No reasonable person could conclude that the average American would not associate the bill with the President since the media’s been presenting it to them as his.

Thus, the New York Post must have known that the average American would conclude they were talking about the President in this cartoon.

Particularly given all the “monkey” references we’ve been subjected to over the past year.

They knew what they were doing, and I hope Al Sharpton kicks their ass.

What he said cannot be refuted.

There was no reason to use a Monkey. The monkey shooting had nothing to do with the stimulus, and there was nothing humorous about it considering a monkey had just been shot to death during a brutal attack on a woman.

There was just no reason to tie a monkey, a dead monkey, to anything to do with our president. While Congress wrote the bill, every newpaper, online article and pundit out there refers to it as “Obama’s Bill”.

Americans see the bill as President Obama’s bill, thus the cartoonist must have known that MOST Americans would conclude the monkey was intended to represent the President.

be taken in context

with the author’s

previous work.

see?

*

chimpy name was originally coined by whites and it has nothing to do with ancestry dumbo.

Actually the rifle only has to ‘go off’ in Act 3, not shoot somebody… shooting someone would often be overly dramatic, as is your in-depth analysis of the fictional fire hydrant…
