*Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson issued a response to racists who compare Black people to monkeys, and he used former president Barack Obama as an example.
Speaking to VladTV, Tyson explained why white people look more like monkeys than Black people.
"I know you did an interview recently [about] the racist things people have said about Black people and monkeys and so forth," Vlad said. "But you said when you scientifically look at white people [you said] monkeys are hairy, and white people are the hairiest people…"
"On Earth," Tyson said, completing the host’s sentence.
When Vlad, who is white, admits, "I am really hairy," Tyson said he does not "shave at all," before pointing out that white people tend to have neck and chest hair.

"People say, ‘Well how about Obama? First Black President and he's got big ears.' He's exactly half-white," he said. "No doubt those big ears come from his mama! The point is, look how easy it is to be racist. And take a look at a chimpanzee's lips. They're razor thin, and we've got some very famous large-lipped black people … so they overlooked so much."

Leave My Monkey Alone
by Warren Zevon
Leave my monkey alone
Leave my monkey alone
Leave my monkey alone
Leave my monkey alone
Down in Kenya where the Masai roam
And the grass grows tall on the veldt
In our old colonial home
We drank our bitters while the empire fell
Leave my monkey alone
Leave my monkey alone
Leave my monkey alone
Leave my monkey alone
One day the Mau Mau came
All we had was lost
In our old colonial home
Under the Southern Cross
Leave my monkey alone
Leave my monkey alone
Leave my monkey alone
Leave my monkey alone
Down in Kenya where the Masai roam
And the grass grows tall on the veldt
In our old colonial home
We drank our bitters while the empire fell
Leave my monkey alone
Leave my monkey alone
Leave my monkey alone
Leave my monkey alone
The Mau Mau came in ‘52
The sun went down and we drew the drapes
In our old colonial home
We hid behind the Mau Mau gates
Leave my monkey alone
Leave my monkey alone
Leave my monkey alone
Leave my monkey alone
Leave my monkey alone
Leave my monkey alone
Leave my monkey alone
Leave my monkey alone
Leave my monkey alone
Leave my monkey alone
Leave my monkey alone
Leave my monkey alone
I would guess that algorithm was written by a Communist Chinese national working for Google.
I’m old enough to remember that leftist making monkey characterizations of W was free speech - but doing the same of Obama was racisss
And the lefties had no problems comparing Donald Trump to an orangutan.
I don’t remember biological classification systems being predominantly based on degree of hairiness . Fairly sure it was structural similarity then when the Double Helix was figured out and DNA analysis became available it switched to that.
Makes me think old Neil Tyson is an inferior replacement for Carl Sagan.
Okay, Neil. You’re about to cross a line in the sand. Keep talking this way, and you will have “Farrakhan’ed” yourself. You will primarily be known as a Black Supremacist.
That's the way it parses.
Doesn't really matter, because the code used to map these spatial patterns followed the math, so it was actually the math that was racist.
As a career software engineer, I studied this news when it first came out, and that was the gist of it. The algorithm had to be 'seasoned' to apply additional parms to filter out the false positives.
The monkey stands for honesty.
Giraffes are insincere.
and the elephants are kindly but their dumb
.... I’ve heard this song before
No humans resemble monkeys; we are tailless but monkeys have tails. Apes are closer.
Neil may be a scientist, but that doesn’t mean he’s smart!
Really don’t care.
Tyson is a “celebrity” physicist. I find that telling because it is the left that has the power to confer celebrity status. Tyson studied under Carl Sagan, a liberal celebrity physicist. Tyson seems to talk about a lot of things other than physics. It seems now that he is a liberal celebrity first and a physicist second.
To sum up, it’s a trash topic put out by liberal trash “thinkers.” I’m doubly not interested.
I can’t judge the intelligence of blacks, I’ll leave that for others like the “Thomases” Thomas Sowell, and USSC Justice Clarence Thomas.
The problem is Black Culture, it is based upon the 15th Century level of humanity. Put it simply, they are not civilized.
What they mean by Uncle Tom? They are black people who decided to be civilized, and join the culture, sell outs not to be trusted.
Now that I write this, I just realized that the civilized culture of Caucasians has been rejected by the white kids in favor of the low brow culture of the Negro people. In essence, whites accept 3rd class status, in a 15th century culture, just to be cool. Clearly, the blacks hate them, even while friending them. If they fully friend them, they assume 2nd class status.
I am talking about groups here, not individuals. Those blacks who are acclimated with an equal eye towards all, are in the 2nd class BTW.
I have 2 AA neighbors, both older women. They are very nice to all people, one is married to a white man. That is 2 people out of 200 though.
One thing I don’t understand is, why do blacks always complain that they “can’t get out of the ghetto” which is a physical place, when clearly they can just pick up and move. The dichotomy of that is, that ghetto they say they want out of, goes with them. They move to the Suburbs, crank the tunes, sit out and smoke blunts on the stoops, and walk around in that menacing way of “GTFO of my way”. Still talk manglish too. They don’t want out, these people want a hand OUT, pity, and to be bowed down to.
Just about a dollars worth of my .02 Cents.
look up the “AK 47 monkey on iphone” video
Typical liberal racism.
Ummm, that would actually support his position.
“he is going down a road which he really should not go down”
Just more proof that race baiting is a lucrative endeavor.....that and in my experience many American blacks see racism in everything.......and I mean EVERYTHING.
