Possibly 94 percent identical (the “98 percent” figure is a lie), but they are finding more divergence all the time.

“...any racism, intended or unintended...”
Unintended racism? WTF is that? Is that better, or worse than a micro-aggression?

A chimpanzee would know better than to force the Army to pay for sex change operations for mentally ill soldiers.

After a Jidhadist terrorist shoots a bunch a people, a chimpanzee wouldn’t whine about how we have a problem.....with guns.

If a chimpanzee controlled the Internet, he wouldn’t give it away.

This woman owes chimpanzees a sincere apology, she should be ashamed of herself. What did they ever do to you, lady?

To employ any derogatory and slanderous communications TRULY based on the color of a person’s skin, and not misinterpreted as being so by language twisters with an agenda, is unconscionable in this day and age. That means white upon black, blacks upon whites, whites upon oriental, every instance regardless of the crossing. It is proof positive you have no debating skills for a one-on-one.

Simply proving we are better than they are.

And our resting on those "laurels" is what has allowed them to beat the crap out of the Nation/People/Constitution.

If you're too polite to fight fire with fire you don't belong in the war. (That's a generalization and not aimed at you).

It would not be an insult if the PC crowd did not believe the comparison to be apt. No one felt that incessantly comparing GWBush to a chimpanzee had any racial overtones. That comparison of a Negro to a chimp is regarded as hatefully racist indicates that the comparison is deeply established in the minds of the implorers.
