here's a question to liven up this thread, how come we can compare GWB to a monkey but we'd hear gasps if we did that to Obama?

Because it's not racist to say a white dude looks like a monkey.

explain.

it's a ridiculous double standard imho.

Because whites weren't mocked with racial epithets involving primates and viewed as lower down the evolutionary chain for a couple hundred years.
but now it's ok?

It just doesn't have the same angle of cruelty attached to it for white folk. There really isn't anything equivalent for us that's driven by the desire to invoke the feelings of the past when an entire race was subjugated.

To answer you seriously,

For one, Obama doesn't look like a monkey. Bush actually does. His face does share many uncommon primate features. Gentle eyes, the eyebrow ridges, and slightly protruding ears. Not saying he's a dead ringer, but...

Second, for ages, the Klan and other patent racist have made black/monkey comparisons.

Having a Hitler haircut and mustache doesn't make you a Nazi, but it does make a statement...

actually, we all look like monkeys. i wonder why that is. . . 😉

and Obama has been monkey-compared, but it was quickly retracted b/c that's racism.

Yeah, because it's a joke. When people compared black people to monkeys in the past, they weren't joking. They actually thought black people were less evolved than the rest of us. That's why a joke about a black guy looking like a monkey is assumed to be because of his race. Bush doesn't look like a monkey because he's white, he looks like a monkey because he has a monkey face.

ok for what? comparing an indivudual to a monkey? sure, in so far as a personal attack is ok.

now if i were to say all white people were slack jawed-knuckle dragging apes, drew illustrations of such, and forced them work on my plantation... that would probably not be ok.

however, that hasn't happened to white people in recent history, so comparing a white person to a monkey doesn't carry the same connotations as if you were to compare a black individual to a monkey.

Caution - TROLL
Obhalbhal is a opportunist SOB. His father was black mother was not, but he still calls himself black. According to him after the age of 8 he was not even raised the black way.
BUT His father was Muslim, his middle name is Muslim but yet he refuses to be a Muslim...
WHY
coz being black will help him win!! he can start crying like a baby every time he is attacked and call his opponent racist. but accepting being a Muslim will kill his career.


sissy a$$ SOB

Sorry, Obama DOES look like a monkey, with his big mouth and huge ears. Plus his ideas for society are primitive.

Today, with all the information out there, if you still believe in Marxism, you're pretty much a primitive monkey like Obama. Either that or you're a megalomaniac who hates humanity.

that's the great thing about being mixed, you can cling to whatever part you want.


like all those white people who say they are native americans because they have 1/8 grandparent native.

like tom welling but he has those mutant cheekbones, dark hair and green eyes. :heart:
