Arent we technically apes?
Didnt we come from apes?

Bless your little victimized heartI dont appease bedwetters and wannabe victims. You know that lolComparing black people to apes and monkeys, as you know, has been used for a very long time to diss black people. So yeah, comparing a black woman to an ape is feeding into the insulting stereotype. I do hear your argument, but it's a complaint you'll just need to live with, I think. Saying McConnell looks like a turtle is also true, but that is specific to him and his goofy neck and head. There aren't hundreds of years of racial insults behind the comparison to a turtle.so how is saying a person looks like an animal racist?That's what I heard, too. Yes.prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.
Agreed?
I think valerie jarret looks like a monkey. Does that mean i think the black race is inferior to the white race?
Just try to live with the fact that if a black person looks like an ape, you need to keep it to yourself. As your mother would have told you, anyway.
It isnt racist. Someone elses context has nothing to do with my opinion.
Does Roseanne think blacks are inferior? Maybe but her tweet doesnt imply that at all.
For all we know, she might have just thought she was iranian, like most people did. Because that is where she was born.
I probably will have to live with it, because victimization and emotional weakness is slowly becoming an american trend.
The tweet was racist. Period. You cry about being called white and are here taking abut emotional weakness.
People should be able to say what they want, fascistWhy are whites here trying to defend their right to call blacks apes?

Whites referred to blacks as nothing more than Apes and gave them no more legal standing than an animal would have. While the Civil War May have freed them from bondage, Blacks were still referred to as apes and treated as such. They were so “unclean” that they were legally barred from using public restroooms, drinking fountains, restaurants and hotels
Now while George Bush was compared to a chimp, he was not barred from using public restrooms or drinking fountains because of it
When whites can show they were treated the same, they can legitimately claim the reference to apes is as offensive as it is to blacks

You are taking someone elses intent and implying it to innocent people. Its pathetic.
Blacks are equal to whites. Stop with the racism already. Blacks dont need special rights and protections; from the government or society. They arent helpless.

No, they are not helpless
They are capable of getting someone fired for referring to them as apes
When they were helpless, they had to just take the abuse and say, yes sir....yes sir

How is ANYONE a racist for claiming someone resembles and ape?
