“Look at that little monkey run!” ~ Howard Cosell

[DoughtyOne]

That would be good.

[null and void]

Howard Cosell would have never made it today.

He didn't then!

Red Dwarf will be purged or sanitized since the cat called Rimmer and Lister monkey a lot.

[OpusatFR]

How Soviet of them! I call my grandson a little monkey all the time! And he is. Keeping up with him is taxing my strength.

I can’t wait to tell someone to mind their own business when they notice his brown skin.

In my working days, I was often behind the eight ball due to my smart a$$ed mouth. I am so thankful I am retired in this age of political correctness. Using old school slang, sarcasm, and condescension now leads to unemployment. Those of us who are of a certain age were warped by watching too much Carson, Python, and TW3.

[cherry]

this is reason NUMBER ONE that we need to clear the courts of this insanity...

[castlebrew]

At least he didn’t say “macaca”.

[Bob434]

SUE the league for false termination

[FrdmLvr]

That’s EXACTLY right!

[Old Yeller]

He should have used cracka instead. Cracka is acceptable to describe a white man. White boy is also acceptable.

[Old Yeller]

Hey wait a minute, did I hear you say chimp on your shoulder?

[trisham]

Bosio may sue.

[bankwalker]

They used to call us ‘peckawood’ back in the day.

[lee martell]

Lol! Ooga-Ooga....Oh no. I meant ; Womp Womp!

[libertylover]

Just like they dropped Peter Fonda like a hot potato after what he said. No, wait...

[rxsid]

When I say “monkey”, I mean “monkey”.

When Democrats hear “monkey”, they think “African American”.

Who is the racist?"

Exactly.

A few years ago, I had a large tree in my yard cut down, and the tree-topper was an Asian guy (Thai, I think), who impressed me with his ability to quickly climb despite the fact that he was toting a chainsaw. Describing him to friends, I said he “climbed that tree like a monkey.” I would have said the same thing if he was white, and it’s spooky to think that an innocent comment like that can get you fired.

If you were to put a number of photos of people of different races in front of a 3 year old, (ANY 3 year old), and asked them if any of the pictures looks like a monkey, would you call that kid a racist if they pointed to a photo of an AA?

Just curious.
