So they get to beat up a white guy because he’s white (no hate crime THERE, I’m sure), but WE don’t get to even SAY anything because the media might paint us as racists.

That is not what I said. Please do not "strawman" me. What I said is that it was inappropriate and unhelpful to compare black people to monkeys. It serves no good purpose and simply gives ammunition to liberals.

Do you think it is reasonable to compare black people to monkeys? Do you think that is helpful?

Me personally, no. But no less an expert on primate behavior than Jane Goodall thinks it is appropriate to compare behavioral traits of chimpanzees to those of humans, at least in the case of Donald Trump. And the liberal editors of the Atlantic had no problem publishing it. So in a general sense, based on what Dame Goodall has done, and the Atlantic has published, it is fine to compare the behavioral characteristics of human beings to the behavioral characteristics of primates.

Not that I agree with it, but in terms of where elite liberal societal values are today, that comparison is apparently now acceptable.
