My last TOONS post at DU

[Generic Other]

When I get accused of racism for posting TOONS at DU, then I think it's time someone else does the TOONS. To suggest that any cartoonist who draws pictures of Arabs that look like and fit the Osama "terrorist" profile means I have posted Arabs in blackface is ridiculous in my opinion and sounds like the kind of rightwing attacks we have been hearing all week against anyone who objects to turning over American ports to Arabs who support Osama and terrorism.

Blackface is when white people paint their own faces to mock people of color. The cartoon that some found so offensive clearly seems to me to be a depiction of Osama and Al Q. I don't get the connection between the depiction of fundie Muslim extremists (they DO look like this) and mocking others in blackface, and I find it offensive to be accused of posting racist TOONS. I did not post the blatantly racist TOONS others chose to post on my TOON thread, and I am disgusted to be told the TOONS I posted resembled them in any way.

Most of the time my TOON page sinks off the front page like a 2 ton anchor with nary a peep out of anyone. The one time there is any response it is to point out my racism! WTF??

Fine. You guys can do better. Have at it. Go find your own PC TOONS. I can find better uses for my time than being abused by fellow DUers.
