Ebony, Essence, Jet, XXL, BET, …

FUBU, a blatantly pro-black clothing store…

Whites tolerate such behavior by blacks because everyone knows, blacks can’t be expected to behave responsibly and intelligently.

This was an insensitive attack delivered at a time when we are trying to mend past hurts and become the one nation under God that we are supposed to be. Shout out to you Mr. Legend for the well written response to such an undignified cartoon. I too plan to boycott the NY Post.

You are an idiot. Just as the artist of this cartoon had the write to publish it, which even John Legend acknowledges, doesn't mean we have to twiddle our thumbs and sit here and take it. I say this as someone who wasn't necessarily offended by the cartoon. What I hate though is these lazy Americans who feel protesting or the collective exercising out RIGHT to peaceful disobedience is akin to militant intimidation. Not once has anyone threatened violence. There are only threats to stop spending our hard earned cash on drivel we wouldn't use to wipe the back of side of an ass with.Wake up, idiot and recognize that demonstrating against those who we deem are oppressing us one of the ideals that makes this country great. What dumbass you are... Go to Cuba or better yet the Republic of China and then let us know just how much you like doing what you're told.You're the kind of American I hate!!!!!!!! Okpulot Taha,

Black America is wisely not engaging in rioting, looting, burning and killing because of a cartoon.

However, history reflects this current displayed restraint by Black America has not always been true.

My hope is history will not repeat itself.
