President Blasts "New York Post" for Offensive Cartoon

Demands that decision makers be fired and apologize for insult

Alpha Kappa Alpha's international president, Barbara A. McKinzie, fired off a letter to New York Post owner Rupert Murdoch, in which she denounced the newspaper for running a cartoon that depicted President Barack Obama as a monkey being shot by two policemen.

The letter pointed out how the country has united behind the president and said the cartoon does not reflect the sentiment of the country.
