BREAKING: Protest Rocks NY Post for Racist Cartoon
Posted by Liliana Segura, AlterNet on February 19, 2009 at 10:43 AM.

At noon today, at New York City's Rockefeller Center, a rally was held in front of the offices of the Rupert Murdoch-owned New York Post, to protest the racist editorial cartoon that ran in its pages on Wednesday. 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.'

The cartoon, which referred to a Connecticut police force's killing of a monkey that had attacked a woman earlier this week, has been denounced and debated for its blatantly racist and violent imagery. Rev. Al Sharpton's National Action Network organized the rally, which was attended by hundreds of activists, union members, reporters, and commuters who came during their lunch hour, many of them shouting 'Shut Down the Post!'
