I don’t care about that kind of equality. I just recognize that there is a deep historical context to some of the things. I am white and if someone calls me an ape then it is just rude and insulting. Someone not seeing how it is different when a black person (I absolutely hate VJ by the way) is called an ape is missing the historical context.

Beastie Boys didn’t fight for our right to call black people apes and neither should you.

I do care. Either equality is equal, or it isn’t equality. There is “historical context” to everything, every person, every race, but we only have to dance on broken glass for some of them.

You are ignorant of history.

Animalization of groups was done long before blacks were called apes and continues long after black were compared to apes.

I am sick of special standards for people who suffered no more than any other (blacks today). There are no blacks who were subject to slavery, being called monkeys, in numbers greater than other races.

Yes, blacks of the past were called names. That is the past. Time to grow up and move past it and stop living in the past.

You are giving the left a weapon that they do not deserve.
