    Is that the best diversion you got, Roy Moore now?

    You know what, the last thing we need right now is to have the Democrats take back the congress and MONKEY with the economy we currently have. It would be bad for the country and especially the middle class. Does that make me a racist?

    And any that had even the tiniest bit of creditability laughed it off as a total joke. Safe to assume are among them or does the snowflake side try to paint this as that famous word losers toss around when they can't handle a situation?

    And THAT is what they are doing.

    They KNOW that Gillum's message and platform is a loser, so the LAST thing they want to talk about is policy.

    Well, crying about faux racism to distract from his own shortcomings worked fairly well for Obama, at least among his followers. Maybe Gillum is just trying to take a page from Obama's play book?

    I just hope Desantis ultimately wins.

    If he doesn't we'll have a great example of the failure of socialism.

    Whatever Mr DeSantis' meaning many are familiar with the stereotype associated with that word.

    Dog whistle or gaffe, it has added to the perception that the republicans have a race problem.

    This is an example of the democrats long and ugly history of slavery and racism rearing it's ugly head. They are telling the African American that monkey means African American when that word is used properly as a verb. That's correct, this party of the left assumes that the average voting African American can't possibly know the difference between monkey as a slang and slur and the proper uses of the word. This is out of fear, the democrat is not happy with an African American that does not conform, not happy at all. Just look at how the democrat attacks any African American that speaks out against their party and supports Trump. The hate is so quick and so brutal it's truly is the history of the democratic party come back to life.

    In my opinion it is people like you that set race relations bacteria four decades. You should be ashamed of yourself.

    Ignorance to the nth degree, congrats!

    throw a monkey wrench into. Sabotage or frustrate a project or plans, as in The bossthrew a monkey wrench into our plans when he said we'd have to work Saturday. This transfer of industrial sabotage—that is, throwing a tool inside machinery—to other subjects dates from the early 1900s.

    Jesus effing Christ the ignorance here :roflol:

    so if I ask for a monkey wrench am I being racist, how about saying no monkey business is that also being racist or if I comment that's more fun than a barrel of monkeys I guess that's racist also then of coarse saying I have got this monkey on my back is racist
    I suppose we just need to remove the word monkey from the English language

    I also suppose we'll have to wipe Darwin's name off the anthropology list as well as evolution. :roflol:

    Chances are slim to none that the democrat will uncover a DeSantis email spewing hate at the African Americans. But we do have emails of Clinton democrats spewing their hate for Catholics.

    How does one use the N word as a verb? And is using it in that way proper English?

    We have comments from Bill Clinton claiming" a few years ago, Obama would be serving us drinks instead of running for President" :grin:

    "A few years ago, this guy (Obama) would be getting us coffee.":roflol:

    I've always been taught it's not what you say but what people hear you say. It's perception. I have no idea what was in the mind of Mr DeSantis but I sure did know how his comment was going to be perceived and used. He should have known also.

    Bullshit. The term "monkeying around" or monkey wrench into the process" is so far from racist only a true moron could conceive it. Remember the song, Only the lonely? I say "Only the butthurt" and delusional could come up with such bull cockie.

    No he brought to light that the unhinged wackaboodle alt leftie press and a few of the usual suspects have a race problem. The rest of us normal people are doing just fine thank you very much.

    No Eretria, in this case it's not what DeSantis actually said but what the democrat tells the African American he said. Again it's back to the history of the Democratic Party, it's nothing new and goes back to their fight to retain slavery and then segregation. And today taking for grated the African American vote and the fear of that loss.
