Quote:I refuse to get involved with any discussion that tries to justify calling a black person apelike in any way which tried to remove the negative racial stereotype that comes with it. Not when there are soccer players abroad or protesters here being taunted with slurs and bananas calling them such.


I'm not calling you racist. I'm saying you should be aware making an argument for that term being normalized or justified will always be construed as racist. If you call a black person an ape, you will be called a racist. Don't blame me. Blame the racists of the past two hundred years. They ruined it for you.

 

In other words, you refuse to get into a discussion with someone that has an opinion the differs from yours because you get "triggered".

 

So someone "resembles an ape" doesn't "trigger" you unless that person happens to be black.  In that case the person "has to be a racist/white supremacist" in your point of view, so you won't engage in discussion.

 

It doesn't matter to you that a far leftist blogger created a website called "The Smirking Chimp" inspired by former President George W. Bush.  In that case, it's alright.  It's alright for liberals to label a President and mock him in association with his appearance, but it's not OK to do so with the current First Lady.

 

Get over it.  I said that Michelle Obama resembles an ape.  I never called her an ape.

 

I could post pictures of her along side of pictures of apes that would back up my comment that "Michelle Obama resembles an ape", but it would be in poor taste and I'm not going to go there.

 

The bottom line here is that if there is any comment that refers to the former President (George W. Bush) as or appearing like a monkey/ape/chimp it's alright.  To do the same with the current First Lady is "racist".
