We Don’t Need to “Monkey this Up”

[Roxiebelle]

The OP actually provided audio of exactly what was said and still monkeyed it up!

Is the word “scotus” or “smile” a dog whistle for some racist concept that I dont yet know about?

You read volumes of meaning from one smile, it’s odd you criticize people for reading meaning from actual words.

Don’t monkey up the thread with your nonsense.

Thank goodness Gary Hart never became President. A first class racist. (May have to be an old timer to get this one)

@conan

Never mind the fact that that he called him very spoken, charisma and well articulate guy.

Don’t don’t sound like any racism behind his comment.

Right libs?

Id just like to point out that calling black folk articulate can be offensive as well. Anyone remember the Biden comment?

Such a common phrase, used all the time. Get back to me when you find footage of him using the term before yesterday.

Now here we have an example of the word monkey being used clearly as dog whistle against a black man.

@PurpnGold

You make a lot of bold statements without proof…

So does Trump. Monkey see, monkey do.

And here, I confess …

@Call_me_Ishmael

Trump knows that our standing in the world and at home will suffer if he so forcefully tries to bring Clinton and her flying monkeys in Obama’s previous government to justice.

I think we are seeing a pattern with this guy. Lots of monkey seeing and doing… and a little knuckle dragging thrown in too.

@armycowboy

They have their marching orders. Monkey see, monkey do. I find it hilarious on so many levels. That’s why I love ■■■■■■■ with these knuckle draggers.

This is how racism spreads.

@SimplyTrying

Monkey see, monkey do. Trump says “hoax” and all his ditto-heads propagate the mantra.

I saw Obama smile yesterday. I think it meant we should start killing whitey

The Coon Caricature: Blacks as Monkeys

This kind of talk has a very negative history, so why not show a little kindness or at least restraint, everybody.

[Yakshi]

@Call_me_Ishmael

History… it’s over dude. Are you forever going to shirk and wince at the word ape or monkey? Fifty years from now will the future you say “There’s history with those terms that aren’t pleasant.” ? One hundred years? 500?

Why not join us and put it behind you?

Get over it, black people.

But sometimes a monkey is just a funny little furry animal you find in zoos that swing from trees. I know that’s hard to believe, but sometimes all that people mean by the word monkey is a monkey.

Sensitivity, Doug.

When Republicans get zero percent of the African American vote this year, I can’t wait to see all the Trumpers yelling “BUT WE GOT THEM JOBBBBBBS”.

Boy this thread is enlightening. Jesus.

[Roxiebelle]

@Auto129

It’s really not that hard to just…not talk about monkeys when black people are the topic of conversation.

Really? The actual “topic” was about the opponents political policies. The only ones making black people “the topic” are racist liberals!!

[C_Actor]

@PizzaReverend

When Republicans get zero percent of the African American vote this year,

Well that would be a whole 4 percent loss

[Call_me_Ishmael]

13% less black male.

[conan]

Quit monkeying around libs…you guys look silly.

Monkey wrench…any monkey can use it.

Look at the monkeys behaving like ants…referring to city slickers.

[Dem]

You guys are really bad at racial sensitivity.

@PizzaReverend

Boy this thread is enlightening. Jesus.

Fat donald supporters aren’t even hiding it anymore.

[TheRedComet]

There are some things you don’t say towards people.

It’s called being polite and having cultural understanding.

It was used a racial slur towards blacks for centuries. It’s offensive when used in a derogatory manner. It’s best just left unsaid.

Hundred bucks says he’s being vigorously defended right this moment.

Oh he is…he is…
