Yes, I do. Did you see the picture? Have you ever in your life made a face like that and made monkey sounds to a pet? Or other animal sounds? How would you caption that picture, just curious? Also why is it ok to say W looks like a monkey or but it’s not ok to say a black does? This PC double standard stuff is ridiculous. If you want to live your life tip toeing around to make sure you conform to their rules, go right ahead. I will conform to FR rules while I am here. I will conform to my own when I am elsewhere and I won’t live my life in fear I might say something that might offend a liberal.

Why would you think it is OK to say that Bush looks like a monkey?

But while the claims of racism are often absurd, it is fact that whites often used “monkey” to denigrate blacks, suggesting that they were further down the evolutionary chain than whites.

We can’t ignore history, and pretend that our ignorance should excuse us. And it’s not like the caption on the picture is the only racial remark that has been made here recently. There have been a lot of stereotyping applied.
