When I say “monkey”, I mean “monkey”.

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

Who is the racist?

You have to learn how to play the game.

Call them a chimp. When they try to give you grief, you remind them you said chump.

Then you ask them when was the last time they had their hearing checked.

The young staffer needs to stop being stupid and so oversensitive. Then people will ask why the Tigers don’t choose more black kids to fill these little jobs?
Why would we, when too many of that group show up to work with a chip on their shoulder, literally looking for trouble that is mostly not even there?

So, we can never again use the expression “throwing a monkey wrench”

Well, he could have really capped it by saying “cotton picking monkey”.

Stumpf’s wind-up does put on in mind of the late Koko.

Was it in conjunction with the word “porch”?

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.

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

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

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.
