How dumb do you have to be to not know that you're allowed to talk about monkeys but not allowed to refer to a black person as a monkey.
DeSantis: Florida shouldn’t ‘monkey this up’

How about lowering entrance criteria to colleges for blacks because you feel they can’t possibly meet the same standard? Then doing the same for standardized testing throughout their educational career.
You stupid mother****er he didn’t refer to him as a monkey . You and your little crew of liberal pussies make this place impossible to participate and actually enjoy it
And remember, he was the one bitching months ago about how everyone else "ruined the board".
He's been caught in at least 5 flat out, blatant lies in the past 2 days.

Incorrect. There's many people on both sides who make this board intolerable.
No, BT was right. This board is ruined for those poor victimized white males. It's only tolerable when it can be filled with daily shit posts by 85 about how terrible all democrats are and literal racist posts by fab. Why can't the water cooler just be awesome again with a bunch of white guys making racist posts and patting themselves on the back for being such amazing non racists.
...and the same people are on the same side of racial divides again. Hmmmm...
This would all be shocking if it didn't keep happening over and over and over...

By that logic, it's not ok for DeSantis to say the "n" word, but it would be ok for him to claim that Gillum "# rigged" his campaign. Ok, got it.
Vice President Joe Biden on Tuesday told a diverse crowd here, including many African-Americans, that presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney would "put you all back in chains"
I barely care, but this absolutely innocuous comment. Props to @bqknight etc for admitting this wasn’t racist. I like how Desantis isn’t the slicked focus grouped up robot politician like a Marco Rubio. This does tell me the Dem camp doesn’t like the idea of messaging their ideas vs. playing the race card. FWIW, if Adam Cucknam had won I’d vote for the Libertarian in the general, but I can respect the Ivies & military career.
Really? Ok, I'll lead you to water, but I'm not overly optimistic that you'll drink. BT said that DeSantis didn't refer to Gillum as a monkey insinuating that it's somehow ok to indirectly refer to someone by an epithet. It's akin to when my wife says I'm acting like an asshole. I tell her all the time - well, not that regularly - just call me an asshole.
That’s because she is calling you an asshole. It’s not that hard to grasp and it’s infinitely more direct than what we’re talking about. That’s not even remotely close to what happened here with DeSantis, who used a phrase that is innocuous in itself, but has been taken to insane heights thanks to the people applying the context that they want.
Riddle me this: if this guy is such a Trump fan hardcore racist in the first place, then why would he need to hurl racist comments to “shore up” his RACIST! Base? It’s an insane argument. And why would he immediately push back against these racist claims if that’s what he was going for? Seems like that’d lose him cred with his “racist base”!
Reminder: as everyone here heaps praise upon McCain, I’ll just remind you that Obama and the Democrats spent the better part of a year insisting that HE used racist dog whistles and was a racist too.
It’s a tired, pathetic part of the play book
We'll agree to disagree then. I never said the guy was trying to placate a base or anything of the sort. The phrase is completely innocuous in itself - I couldn't agree more; however, it's not "in itself". I can look at my kids and say, "Hey, stop monkeying around!" But, I'm sorry, I would never look at my cousins (who are of mixed race and with whom I have personally witnessed both blatant and passive racism) and tell them the same thing. No one with half a brain cell, no one who has a modicum of empathy, no one who understands what the word means to people of color would EVER use that term.
I guess when taking kids to the zoo on field trips the monkeys should not be mentioned if any blacks are on the property , got it
Ok then. My sister in law is black and their children are mixed race as well. They played me “monkeys jumping on the bed” not more than 4 months ago when I visited them in Westchase. They’ll be devastated when I tell them that they’re self hating racists.
Oh, the old "they say it so we should be allowed too" argument.
Are you seriously suggesting that me or my nieces should be triggered by a nursery rhyme?
The slippery slope is real. Why you can't cuck. How we go from Obama defending traditional marriage to Milo in a swift decade.
Gotta at least give BT credit for being honest here. All he wants the WC to be is a safe space for his insane MAGAt viewpoints, and he admitted it here. Any input by "liberal pussies" makes it intolerable to his snowflake self. Might I suggest you try out stormfront? Might be more to your liking.
Its disingenuous to say he was attempting to call the guy a monkey. Still a stupid phrase to use, but I wouldnt say racist.
Are all the leftists living in such a tight bubble that they've never heard this phrase used before?
Would you like to hunt down every school teacher who told their students to stop "monkeying around"? Every person who has claimed to be relieved to "get the monkey off their back" after a stressful time?
Oh, you just want to assume that anytime "monkey" is said it's referring to any black person who might be in a 100 mile radius? Soft racism again.

Do you feel the same way about lowering entrance criteria for legacies?
Just try not to tell the “blacks” they look like monkeys or they’re behaving like monkeys and you should be okay.
Here’s more racist propaganda and content to go into faux hysterics over. You guys better start that boycott campaign against ABC to get this removed forever!
You talk enough you will slip up. The old saying was don't throw a monkey wrench into the situation.. The statement had nothing to do with race, and those putting it out as racial slur know it.
What, that someone giving the school millions so their one kid can get in is the same as making separate rules for an entire race of people, based solely on the color of their skin, that convey the sentiment that they aren’t good enough so you’re going to create special rules for them?
Or that some of the extra money that schools get from legacies is used to provide scholarships for other students that qualify academically but can’t afford the school?
Do you feel that there is an equivalence there?
Also, by asking this question in response, are you implying that there is a racial component to legacies?
