If a person in this day and age remains truly oblivious to the fact that you should never even remotely compare black people to monkeys, that person should just go straight back to kindergarten and start over. Scientists compare humans to monkeys all the damn time. We share 96% of our dna. My parents regularly call children, monkeys because that's just something they do in our culture (Chinese). Like I get why it's not a classy thing to say, but to make the entire crew lose their jobs because of one person's remarks? Our goddamn President has said much worse, and he still has his job. How about take care of that first? I've also learned that some other areas use that as a term to describe a child's behavior, but that's when you have to consider the context. Just like there's a difference between how negro is pronounced in the Spanish language and how it was in the US, the monkey term has been used as a racist insult and could definitely fit with Roseanne's tweet. --- The 17th King of the State of K <cite>KStateKing17 posted [p:902226759] in Did you th...
