Scary KKK pics bared; Obama as dead monkey 
Extremely scary pictures deep inside America, shows the Ku Klux Klan is very much alive and kicking.
These images show members of the Ku Klux Klan as they want to be seen, scary and secretive and waiting in the wings for Barack and his colour-blind vision for America to fail. Anthony Karen, a former Marine and self-taught photojournalist was granted access to the innermost sanctum of the Klan.
First it was "I hope Obama fails"-- Rush Limbaugh's infamous curse -- and now the New York Post defends cartoon showing President Barack Obama as a dead monkey.
This is shameful and hateful.
This is a clear exhibitionism of pervasive racism in US society. Historically blacks in US have been stereotyped as monkeys.
Rupert Murdoch-owned Fox News and New York Post have been gunning for the first black president for long and represent a dangerous trend in the politics of this nation. At least one out of five Americans have an obscurantist mindset that includes racism, male chauvinism, and Christian extremism and that is how outfits like Fox News and New York Post do business by pandering to hate.
The media in general portrays blacks as dumb: 99 percent of the time the blacks are pictured with their mouth open. Even today blacks are painted as criminals.
Many of those critical of the cartoon said it appeared to compare President Obama to a chimpanzee in a commentary on his recently approved economic stimulus package.
Frankly, those who hold this racist outlook is what I call the American Taliban. In fact, I have the honor of being the author of this phrase after facing rude comments following 9/11 simply because of the color of my skin and my Islamic sounding name
The only difference between the Islamic Taliban and the American Taliban is that the latter is clean shaven and wears black suits.
There was slavery for two-and-half centuries and another century of segregation that ensured the blacks should stay at rock bottom. Now a black man, who just shares his race with slaves, is in the White House and the racists in this country are freaking out.
The election of a black president is just the first baby step in political reparations of a community that was brutally wronged. With all the science available today, the amount of unpaid labor to the slaves -- as also the actual descendants of those slaves -- can easily be ascertained and should indeed become part of a black stimulus bill to end poverty in black neighborhoods. Crippling effects of slavery haunts the black ghettoes of America even to this day.
As far as I know, the joke about killing the president is a crime. How come a newspaper can get away with a crime for which an average citizen can be arrested?
People in New York took to the streets to condemn the racism.
The cartoon depicted two police officers shooting an ape, with one remarking, 'They'll have to find someone else to write the next stimulus bill.'
Racism might actually be one of the biggest security threats to the US. The first black president is a nightmare for US racists who just don't know how to face the new reality.

Well, I admire what Barack is trying to do and I anyones ethnic background is irrelevant to me.
So I´m not a racisist. But this "article" is really poor. How many times was Bush compeared to a chimp? No one ever complained. This was also noticed in newspapers here in Finland and around Europe.
