Black Leaders Demand Apology For Editorial Cartoon

Black Leaders Demand Apology For Editorial Cartoon
Cartoonist Drew Gunman Wearing 'Don't Snitch' T-Shirt

An editorial cartoon in last Friday's Florida Times-Union depicting a gunman wearing a T-shirt saying "Don't Snitch" continues to draw criticism, with some black leaders calling for an apology, the firing of the cartoonist and other demands, according to a WJXT-TV report in Jacksonville.

Two young children drawn in the cartoon say "I didn't see nuttin'!" Then the gunman says, "Now that's a good little ho!

In a letter sent to all Jacksonville television stations as well as the newspaper, the Jacksonville Leadership Coalition called the cartoon "racist, culturally insensitive and degrading to African-American women."

In addition to the apology, the group also called for the firing of cartoonist Ed Gamble, the hiring of a person of African-American descent for the newspaper's editorial board and a meeting with black leaders to "resolve the issue," WJXT-TV reported.

This cartoon only lacks some fried chicken and watermelon.....

A fine example of "Conservative" cartooning......

it's just a plain bad cartoon. There's like 23 different things going on. Instead of being subtle and biting, it throws in everything it can to try and make its point -- and I don't think it knows what its point is.
