Float monkey imagery in a reference about an African-American woman,

I personally found her tweet to be offensive to Apes, they don’t deserve to be compared to this scum, and I was hoping PETA would condemn it.

She didn’t compare VJ to an ape, she said “Planet of the Apes” which is a fictional movie. The creatures in that movie resemble apes loosely, however, they were intended to represent tyranny and oppression against a minority. It’s a stretch to call it racist when it was intended to be a critique of ideology, which is more than deserving of critisism.

Funny that no one seemed offended about the ISIS part of her comment.

Apparently being called an offspring of real live murderous mohammedans was not insulting but the idea of her being the descendant of a fictional cultured civilized ape was enough to make people go bananas.

Think about that for a moment.
