Racial discrimination is a painful part of the American thought process that affects all of us, reflected in this political cartoon. The first thing you see in this gruesome image is a monkey lying on the ground in a pool of blood. He was shot by the police officer holding the gun. The police officer says “I guess we will have to find someone else to write the next stimulus bill." This illustrates how the police officer confused Barak Obama with a monkey. The police officer confused Obama with a monkey because he believes that all black people look alike and that they came from monkeys. Sometimes in America people have problems differentiating between two things that look so alike, just like the police officer in this cartoon did. In conclusion, it is seen through this political cartoon that the views expressed can be so extreme that it brings a harsh awakening to some of the more brutal realities of life in America.
