I predict this episode will result in a move to push for open monitoring and control of employee communication during their workday; basicall a way to tiptoe around first amendment rights. But I agree the posting of that pic is insensitive and we really don’t need that type of crap right now.

Realistically, the question is EASY to answer. The "drummer " on the right has no sticks.

You tamp a fencepost to make it solid in the post hole.

I wish there was a tamped out pic of the illegals in front of our Home Depot. It’s like World War Z where you have to battle your way unto the entrance of the store.

So saying that black people are NOT like apes is offensive?

I was confused by the “you can refer to Bush as a chimp but not Obama as a chimp because Obama is black, and that would be racist” argument (so it’s OK to call Bush a chimp because he’s white, so that’s not a race-based decision).

This does not clear up my confusion at all.

1. The one in the middle doesn’t have a hat.
2. He has two drumsticks. The one on the left has one. The one on the right has none.
3. The one in the middle has orange pants. The others have gray pants.
4. The one in the middle is wearing a monkey suit.

There are a lot of things that are supposedly offensive to people that baffle me.

If we were a truly colorblind society it wouldn’t be considered racist.
