As promised, here is the contact information for various staff members of the New York Post. If you feel that the portrayal of President Obama as a monkey is offensive, then please feel free to express your voice. Having a Black President is nice, but having a Black PRESENCE is even nicer. Let the New York Post know what you think.
The contact information can be found here. You can also visit my blog if you'd like to hear more of my thoughts on the matter. My original post is below in case you haven't heard the story yet. But most important are your own thoughts. Please feel free to make a comment to be sure that your voice is heard. This is our country too, and people need to hear our perspective.
Be well, stay focused, stay strong and keep getting educated.

I think your assertions are totally ridiculous!
I am with you 100% Dr. Watkins!
I feel that the cartoon was more than offensive it was dispicable and revealing of the thoughts of cowardness america, it also proved just what Eric Holder has stated about most Americans being "A Nation of Cowards".
The New York Post and some of the news media commentators are trying reduce the significant meaning of the 'Monkey Cartoon'.
This is a time that all Americans should begin coming together with all thatis going on in this nation and the world around us, instead, the cowarded cartoonist hiding behind the incident of the killing of an ape to show his true meaning of what he/she would really have preferred to have happen.
It also gives rise to the fact that the policemen who commit acts against our African American young males are given desk duty rather than being suspended without pay and even fired.
Overt racism is worse now since the election of President Obama. It is time to put an end to those who feel that they can say or do anything and hide(cowards) behind the first admendment.
For some African Americans and Whites and any other race who feel that Slavery and the Civil Rights movement was a figment of someone's imagination or not that difficult to go through, ask the African American Baby Boomers who lived through the trailblazing of the Civil Rights Movement or their parents who knew of the Great Depression, the remnants of slavery or who had family members who told them the story of slavery. Or better still, invite all Americans--Black and White to really sit down and watch "Roots", "Mississippi Burning" or any of the Martin Luther King, Jr. stories or documentaries from beginning to end.

The best was to hurt the Post and Rupert Murdoch is to contact Rupert's boss. His boss is Prince Walleed of Kingdom Holdings. Let Prince Walleed know how anti-Islamic and racist FOX is.
Please enjoy the best of Morris Brown:
