When my Mom told me not to be a monkey, was she telling me not to let my skin turn black?

If you let a monkey drive a car, what happens? That is what “monkey something up” refers to!

Well, put a monkey in front a typewriter and eventually it will come up with Shakespeare! LOL!

I just hope no one apologizes for normal language. It was kind of okay when racists owned one word, "the n word" rather than let it evolve. I remember once being told (about ten years ago) I can't say "they're playing that teacher" because it's a black term! I of course ignored the Word Police.

Controlling speech controls independent thinking. It was wrong when panderers among those who pretend to represent us accepted not using "thug". DeSantis should stand his ground, and I'm not monkeying around. <^..^>
