Well, you know, black people can’t be portrayed as monkeys beause, you know, liberals believe black people descended from monkeys, so showing a black person as a monkey is like saying they haven’t evolved and are still primal.
So while you and I might simply think “don’t make a monkey out of me” when we see Obama pictured as a monkey, or “monkey see, monkey do”, or just get the idea that Obama is monkeying around with America’s future, because he is black, and because liberals are racist, they always think a picture of a black person as a monkey must be racist.
Same thing with lynching. Every leader gets burned in effigy, or hung in effigy. But you can’t do that with Obama, because liberals think that hanging black people is something you do, and so if you hang Obama in effigy, you are “lynching” like in the old west (which of course wasn’t a black thing, and in reality only a small number of the hangings in this country were of black people, so while it is true that white racists did hang black people, it doesn’t follow that a noose must represent hanging black people).
And while Obama certainly is black, you certainly are not allowed to compare him to things that other black people have said, because it is clearly racist to compare two black people, since you must be doing it because they are black. This is why all the quotes and references to other black people like the “homey don’t play that” reference are clearly devisive and racist.
Frankly, I’ve pretty much given up, and decided we should all just call everybody racist. It no longer has any meaning, once everybody is accused.
I guess you never heard the lovely phrase ‘porch monkey’ used to describe black Americans. There are very real historical reasons for the use of a monkey to portray a black person is rightfully considered racist.
It’s also true, to add to your statement about lynching-that contrary to revisionist history, the vast majority of lynchings were of people who committed heinous crimes-murder and/or rape. It wasn’t some random atrocity, or done to jaywalkers, etc.
