Here we go again with the vague question answering a question issue. Here - let’s make it easier for everyone to understand. It is offensive to compare a black person to a monkey. Period

No, you didn’t say earlier that it was offensive, you said it was RACIST! I gave you the definition of racism earlier and taking offense is relative. I notice that you didn’t ask Jim Robinson to pull the posts of pics of DJT and an orangutan.

The only way that her joke can be considered racist is if there are people who honestly believe that the black race has not evolved as much as the rest of humanity. I don’t share that belief.

It was a f-ing joke.

“It is offensive to compare a black person to a monkey. Period.”

It is offensive for anyone to be compared to a monkey if they’re thin skinned enough to be offended. I don’t see what race has to do with it.

The movie Planet of the Apes had to do with humans blowing up the earth with a nuclear holocaust, and causing a future where they were no longer the dominant species on the planet.

I know that Trump, Obama, Bush Jr. and Gerald Ford have all been compared to apes or monkeys - and there were others I’m sure.

When you compare someone to an ape the implication is that you think they are stupid or low class, lacking in manners, perhaps primative - none of which are insults that apply to one race more than another.
