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"How is this not the same kind of extortion depicted by the cartoon?

Only one inaccuracy in that cartoon — rappers don’t use revolvers.

still waiting for that appology to the duke lacross players.
Are they upset that it is accurate or are they upset because it is only precise.

This is exactly like the Black Mayor of Newark NJ defending his sanctuary policies last night on FOX.
No snitching on illegal scum (because I may be able to get their vote).
So I guess it is OK to let crimes be committed and not inform the authorities as long as the perp is of color. However, if whitey does anything scream like a stuck pig.

Apparently they didn’t get the meaning of the cartoon. It is not insulting, nor is it actually calling anyone a ho. It is pointing out hypocrisy and the failure of the rule of law when culture works against it.

Why don’t we just get it over with and apologise for breathing and kill ourselves? (After changing our wills and leaving everything to the extortionists). I bet the paper caves, they always do.

I guess it is time to add the word ‘ho’ to the ever expanding list of words that whitey is forbidden to use.
To: Cagey
They want an apology but won’t correct the problem that prompted the drawing.

Other than the “ho” comment, the problem is true. I was researching gun deaths in Chicago following Barack Obama’s declaration that almost 3 dozen youths have been killed by “assault rifles” this year, and I found numerous mentions in Chicago media about how after a shooting, the witnesses would not cooperate with police. They didn’t see nuttin’.

After reading who the complainers were, I have to ask just how many folks in the black community actually saw and read the offending editorial cartoon before it was pointed out to them?
How many times is the word “ho” used by comedians on the BET and nothing is ever said?

I guess it is time to add the word ho to the ever expanding list of words that whitey is forbidden to use. Why would one want to use the word anyway? Wh*r* is basically what it means or even in it rawest context "HOLE". This is something anyone with any raising whatsoever would naturally know not to use in public conversation.

After the apology, we can move toward reconciliation.
On second thought, how about this: No apology, no reconciliation. Black gang culture needs confronted and punched in the face, not appeased. If it was up to me, they would get their apology about the same time they got their reparations, in other words never.

“There are T shirts being sold with Stop Snitching on them...”
Same here in Pittsburgh.
To: LowOiL
Why would one want to use the word anyway?Agreed. The next time I use this word in its intended context, will be the first. I am amazed at how much time is wasted fighting over words. The black community has laid claim to 'ho' the 'N' word and other terms, and homosexuals are trying to stake a claim on the word 'marriage'. All this bickering over language really distracts from the issue at hand, which is the decay of American culture.
