I vividly recall the endless mocking of Ronald Reagan (always portrayed as a bumbling fool) and W. Bush, endlessly compared to a chimp.
Even if I disagreed with these portrayals I never would have imagined that any branch of our government would consider responding to them. If Bush had sent a “Justice Official” to visit the guy who created that poster comparing chimp facial expressions to W’s the public outrage would have been massive.
The lesson we are told to learn is “No black man in a position of authority is ever to be mocked.” That’s racism!
