Racy-ness and Racism
"The guardian women must strip for physical training, since they'll wear virtue or excellence instead of clothes."
- Socrates in Plato's Republic (Book V)
At least Plato got something right.

"There is consensus that if the Post does not ... get rid of the journalists who are responsible for this bit of hate speech seeing the light of day, that we will move this from a local, regional issue to a very national issue," Jealous (NAACP guy) said.
"This was an invitation to assassination of the president of the United States and anyone who was not offended by it doesn't have any sensibilities."
"...Anyone who was not offended by it doesn't have any sensibilities." hahahahaha!!!!2
Some Rules for Having Racial Sensibilities:
Rule #1: If you see a primate in any cartoon, you must assume it's making reference to a black person. Otherwise, you have no sensibilities.
Rule #2: Don't consider yourself a complete retard for automatically thinking a primate is a black person, but rather assume that everyone who doesn't see this "doesn't have any sensibilities".
Rule #3: Do everything in your power to destroy those who would dare to use a primate to make reference to a black person. (Nevermind that you are actually the one who suggested that this particular primate was referring to a black person.)
Rule #4: McCarthy was right in his method, he just had the wrong kind of target.
Edit: I've got it! Bush was presented as a primate so often, that I think many cartoonists must've thought he was black. I don't know why the NAACP did not have those cartoonists fired for presenting Bush as black. That's clearly an insult to the black population. (I feel so enlightened now that I have sensibilities!)
