    I see racism behind every rock and tree (No white boy can fool me).
    Translation: I will see racism where it hides and then when whitey complains I'll have proof of his racist white devil nature!
    The phrases monkey business, monkey shines, monkey see monkey do, sea monkeys and monkey house at the zoo are ALL dog whistles
    and no cracker redneck can slip anything by me.
    That coded racist crap ain't fooling nobody!

    The story is that you do not know the history of Arkansas, the Confederacy, or the US. ARKASAS became a state in 1836. They seceded from thevUnion and joined the Confederacy. They sent their share of regiments to fight in the confederacy so what does their percent of slave have to do with it.

    I am amazed anyone would post this BS story. If you are that naive you deserve yourself.

    People use "monkey" all the time to reference idiocy. Democrats use it extensively as this picture shows.

    And I can't tell you how many times I threatened my brother with whipping his monkey ass if he didn't stop pestering me.

    Nothing to do with skin color unless you want it to.

    Are your kids black?

    Was the person that DeSantis was referencing black?

    Connotations matter.

    Ok this Sunday you go into a Black church walk up front and tell the pastor and his parishioners that they look like, act like, and smell like monkeys or apes.

    And Roy Moore isn't a pedophile because the girls he touched had already started menstruating.

    But just to make sure I understand your argument, if you used the N word as a verb when referencing a black person, you are not making a racist statement?

    This is pretty much a moot point because as I said if Gallum really is a socialist his lost the general election the day he won the Democratic primary.

    I didn't realize the N-word could be used as a verb. You'll have to show me that it can be. And thanks in advance.

    If you used the n word as a verb while referencing a black person, you are still making a racist statement.

    That was a really dumb defense. Sorry.

    Now that you learned something that you did not before, do you see why your defense of his statement was really terrible?

    Exactly. Well said. If he has a history of racist remarks then you can easily infer racism from this statement. If not then you cannot.

    "Monkey it up".....I have to say that is a weird thing to say. Is it "racist"? I do not care what is racist. Lefties are gonna yell racism every chance they get when it is election time. They have no policies so they need to do something to distract from that.

    Well, Peter Strzok texted all kinds of anti-trump statements yet lefties believe it did not affect his investigation. So it is possible to be a raving racist and not let it affect your office.....

    I'm not the one who associates blacks with monkeys here and when the term is used even in an innaculus way first thinks of blacks..

    More grammar problems? Oh my God!
    People are nouns, not verbs. Nouns are people places and things. Verbs are actions. When you say the economy is "monkeyed up"
    that's a reference to economy....obviously. Not to Andrew Gillum.

    You don't seem aware enough to even appreciate this. I feel for you and seemingly you will bark, speaking of dog whistles, whenever the wizards at the DNC put out the word.

    Good Grief.......

    Obama 2008

    “I come from Chicago. It’s not as if it’s just Republicans who have monkeyed around with elections in the past. Sometimes Democrats have, too. You know, whenever people are in power, they have this tendency to try to tilt things in their direction.”

    LMFAO Desantis just referred to Trump as "the 800lb gorilla in the room" on Hannity.

    HAHAHAHAAHA!
