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.

I never said it was OK to say Bush looks like the chimpy that they dogged him with for 8 long years. what’s good for the goose is good for the gander and I don’t care. You can’t control people. You can’t sit there and look for every little thing they say. FIRST AMENDMENT isn’t just for liberals. Sorry.
