NY Post cartoonist drew illustration for article calling civil rights movement a "menace" to society

[Bjorn Against]

The Weekly Standard cover posted below was illustrated by the New York Post columnist Sean Delones who also illustrated the disgusting chimpanzee shooting comic which we have all seen by now. Creating menacing images of black men has always been a tool that racists have used, and that is exactly what the image that Delones created for the Weekly Standard represents. Yes, the person that the cover of the Weekly Standard is supposed to represent is OJ Simpson, a man who most of us would agree is pretty shameful to say the least. Notice that this cover does not even include OJ Simpson's name anywhere however, and being a cartoon not everyone is going to necessarily pick up on who it is all they are going to see is the menacing black man. While I was not able to find an actual copy of the article that was not actually written by Delones but instead by Christopher Caldwell, I did find a http://www.slate.com/id/1131/">piece on Slate which described the article

Weekly Standard, July 29
(posted Monday, July 22)

The Weekly Standard puts tabloid favorite O.J. Simpson on its cover. "Why He Still Haunts Us" makes the familiar point that race defeated justice in the O.J. trial, and blames the acquittal on the civil rights movement, which "grew corrupt, turned on the society it had served, and became an active menace to it."

So not only did Delones draw a menacing image of a black man, but he created that image for an article that blamed OJ Simpson's acquittal on the civil rights movement and even refers to the civil rights movement as an "active menace" to society. Racist? No doubt in my mind.
