Slip-N-Slide 05/30/18 5:36:53 AM #6:	Making orangutan jokes about Trump isn't the same at all. For starters you're mocking his choice to be an orange man to begin with, nobody made him be orange nor is he genetically orange. And when he's literally displaying the intelligence or at least verbal intelligence of one it's more of just an insult calling him as an individual dumb. Comparing black people to monkeys/apes has historic connotations behind it to dehumanize and berate the entire race. Nobody is trying to dehumanize Trump by saying that, they're just saying he chooses to look stupid and is an actual legitimate idiot. Not mocking him because of his race or because they simply disagree but can understand his point of view is just different. When you have a man who looks dumb as shit by choice, and contradicts himself every other day, it's easy to call them stupid and it mean nothing but you're calling that person stupid, having no racial connotations or anything. And even then it's mostly other white people saying it about another white man, while comparing black people to apes has been almost exclusively done by non black people to dehumanize them or compare them to animals both physically and intellectually based on nothing but race. --- Get wet. http://i.imgtc.com/2q3z3TmhFO.jpg <cite>Slip-N-Slide posted [p:902231950] in How come y...

If you call a black person an ape 'omg it's racist because you say they look like apes'. Wait what? No, don't project your own racist views onto others. It's not people projecting their own racist views, it's because there's a massive historical context to comparing blacks to apes/monkeys as a means of dehumanizing them or treating them as less than human. No such thing exists for white people, and when people call him an orangutan it has nothing to do with him being white, it's because he's a dumb ass and he's orange.

The insult is being projected to him on any racial level. Historical context matters, it's like trying to argue the n word and "honky" are equal. You can try to argue it all you want, but they'll never be remotely the same thing.</quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!

You can try to argue it all you want, but they'll never be remotely the same thing. So historical context matters but regular context does not? Because the context of a black person calling a white person a honky is steeped in racism too. --- You'll get a funeral if you don't wise up and call me....Carl Poppa. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9aM9Ch97U8 <cite>CarlGrimes posted [p:902273056] in How come y...

AngelicTouch99 05/31/18 12:14:03 AM #45:	Slip-N-Slide posted... Making orangutan jokes about Trump isn't the same at all. For starters you're mocking his choice to be an orange man to begin with, nobody made him be orange nor is he genetically orange. And when he's literally displaying the intelligence or at least verbal intelligence of one it's more of just an insult calling him as an individual dumb. Comparing black people to monkeys/apes has historic connotations behind it to dehumanize and berate the entire race. Nobody is trying to dehumanize Trump by saying that, they're just saying he chooses to look stupid and is an actual legitimate idiot. Not mocking him because of his race or because they simply disagree but can understand his point of view is just different. When you have a man who looks dumb as shit by choice, and contradicts himself every other day, it's easy to call them stupid and it mean nothing but you're calling that person stupid, having no racial connotations or anything. And even then it's mostly other white people saying it about another white man, while comparing black people to apes has been almost exclusively done by non black people to dehumanize them or compare them to animals both physically and intellectually based on nothing but race. You put wayyy too much effort into this <cite>AngelicTouch99 posted [p:902287028] in How come y...
