    No it's an excuse, history proves that.

    Ah so since he is a newscaster it's ok to compare him to a gorilla, maybe that is why he didn't say anything.

    So now racism is hurting my feelings.

    Hey you can't tell me any damn thing you want, I am not one of those cats who will run and turn the moderators you called me a name.

    I do, just not making the correlation with this situation though.

    Is that a gift you can actually tell what someone is thinking without them telling you that.

    You don't think they're already equal? "Somebody" has to give them something "to make them equal"?

    WTF, man.

    I think we're equal, period. Nobody has to give anyone anything to "make them equal".

    Jeezus.

    ROFL, that part of my post you responded to was directed at the poster I quoted, not you :roll:

    That's kind of how things work here. If I quote you, I'm responding to you. If I quote someone else, I'm responding to them.

    Or you can just fire up your outrage machine at every post if you want! :hiding:

    Are you a software engineer, too? I'm a black woman and a software engineer. I have never had a manager refer to me that way and I doubt that one would have for obvious reasons. By the way, code guerrilla (a cyber security warrior protecting the site from attacks) makes more sense :). Don't you think so?

    Of course in God's eyes we are ALL equal, but when it comes to the history of America not so much. Do you think the Constitution was written considering black folks as equal.

    Wow you came up with that by yourself.

    Right, because you have never quoted a reponse that wasn't directly aimed at you.

    Not really a need to.

    The woman did not intentionally try to insult the man, would it have been different if she said dog instead of a gorilla?

    When it comes to intentionally trying to hurt, insult or shut down what you don't want to hear, the left calls us racists, bigots, haters, homophobes, misogynists, Islamophobes, fascists, and worst of all, Nazis. NAZIS!!!! Does the left know what the Nazis did? Are they ignorant in that regard or are they intentionally trying to hurt us by comparing us to pure evil? We didn't gas people. We didn't round people of for slave labor. We don't kill people based on their religion or ethnicity, the Nazis did and the left intentionally compares us to them. If anyone modern day group of people approaches the evil of Nazis it would be Muslims and the Central/South American drug cartels.

    Idk would it? Are you used to someone calling you a dog?

    No you just enslaved folks, you just treated folks as 3rd class citizens, you just denied folks basic human rights, should I go on?

    I have heard white parents refer to kids using that phrase. The first time that I heard it, I was surprised. Black parents don't generally use this term to describe kids, again for reasons that should be obvious.

    You weren't alive then and you're equal now.

    Are you sure about that? The leftist mob does not seem to care about intentions.

    She was referring to the mannerisms of the gorilla and found them charming, hence it was a compliment.

    yeah she shouldn't have apologized she did nothing wrong. If you're offended that gorillas look a lot like people you're offended by reality.



    People like apes because they look like us. All this is going on here is some people do look like apes some apes to look like people. And you are offended by that because you were told to be.

    yes some people really do look like apes and they're offended when someone points that out. People are fascinated by reality reality is bigotry.

    I don't think you really get, or pretend not to get the nazi narrative that black people are more ape than human and so 2nd class. And reciting that nazi narrative.... yeah. That comes with an apology. It's not as if you can raise your right arm as a salute and think you can just simply get away with that.

    Nope. But he Barely accomplished anything besides being catapulted to President since he was a well spoken black man, according to Biden:) And then he was untouchable. Not defending Trump though. He talks lots of ****. Don’t really care. But he has to deal with so much **** Obama was shielded from and still is.

    it's not that I don't get it it's that it's not relevant. this anchor wasn't saying that this man was subhuman in there for ape like she said the ape looked like him. And it's very possible it genuinely does. Apes are very similar to our species.

    yeah you don't apologize to these people they're not really interested in an apology do you want to make you prostrate.

    When everything is racist nothing is racist.

    It becomes tiresome.

    Milk is racist. Frogs are racist. All the things are racist.

    This is from the "straight pride" march today, propaganda from leftist agitators...

    Regardless, "intent" isn't a factor.

    The mob will not be appeased. Particularly with "that wasn't the intent".

    Well then, it doesn't sound like Obama would threaten to sue anyone in this situation, does it?
