*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."

I know many American Blacks who can swim - but they lived in places adjacent to swimming areas, or at times where they were admitted to neighborhood swimming pools.
The same stupid ideas come out about Black people, including the fact that they hate dogs. Some of the people I’ve known who are very much involved in breeding and showing are Black.
