Two of my favorite names in congress are retiring.
Its not that I like the people, but I really enjoy reading weird names like Goodlate and Hensnarling.
But perhaps there are other fun names on the political horizon. I just learned that there is a King county councilman named Dave Upthegrove.

I mean do you know how many years "monkey business" or "monkey it up" has been used in reference to something other than a racial slur?
Barrel of Monkeys
Money Business
Monkey's Uncle
Monkey on Your Back
Monkey Around
Monkey House
Cheeky Monkey
Monkey Suit
Spank the Monkey
Monkey See Monkey Do
Did I leave out any racist monkey idioms?
Because you made an error by not being open to a different interpretation does not mean I screwed up by not anticipating the possibility of your error.
They don’t deserve legitimacy, their offense is irrational.
Yeah, maybe every politician should write a thesis on the meanings of every word as they've been used throughout history before being allowed to speak each one. Clearly this whole "speaking words in normal conversation with a split second of thought, like an actual human being" is too much for some people.
What's sad is that there are people who actually had time to analyze his words for hours/days, who actually had the benefit of thinking things through before giving a written or verbal response, and who ended up saying things that were far more stupid than what DeSantis came up with in a millisecond.

Well I mean considering you’ve complained numerous times about the pc culture bs that’s taken grip in our fine nation the I mean yeah I think he’s pretty dumb not to consider it... it’s not like people weren’t bitching about rosanne calling someone an ape recently and how they thought that was racist lol... legitmate or not it’s pretty obvious... I think a lot of the things you say are irrational but it doesn’t really stop you from thinking or saying them does it?
Roseanne didn't compare anyone to an ape. She compared them to a fictional character and the makeup job inherent to that character. Spoiler alert, Valerie Jarret really dose look like that character and that character wasn't even played by a black person.

Remember before Roseanne compared Valerie Jarrett to an ape, she did the same thing to Susan Rice. She has a long history of racism, and she deserved to be fired.
I have never thought of monkey as a racial slur and "monkey rigged" means poorly rigged, as if the subject was improvised by a literal monkey.

That's fine, but there are plenty of people that take being compared to an ape as a racial slur and that is not gonna change nor should it.

The whole problem with the dismissive rhetoric is that it’s white people talking over black people like black people don’t have a voice.
Guess what? Most black people found it racist regardless of how innocuous the intent, due to historical precedent. Then to condescendingly dismiss their interpretation without giving their objection real consideration...guess what that comes off as racist.
Now nobody is saying you don’t a have right to be racist but own it and own the fact that people don’t have to respect you in return since the disrespect is obviously reciprocated.

i agree being called a monkey or ape as a reference to mean black person is *** up.

Given how a huge proportion of the SJW voices out there are white people putting words into minorities' mouths and getting offended in their behalf, it sounds to me like the condescension goes far beyond "dismissive rhetoric".

People are inherently different, and groups of people are inherently different from each other. The inability to creat a social order that eliminates these differences is what the left points to as proof of racism.

Are you going to actually form a counterpoint, or did you take Zero's "dismissive rhetoric" statement as an invitation?

A counterpoint to what? Nausis shitposting? There is a no reason to validate a troll, the "left" does not view black people as "inferior." Total ***.

Then they view them as weak, which is also pretty offensive. If that wasn't true, then they wouldn't feel the need to come to their rescue every single freaking time over the slightest little offenses.

More ***, black people have no problem standing up for themselves against racists like Roseanne. They are always out in front, Wanda Sykes resigned immediately after Roseanne renewed her attacks on Valerie Jarrett. She didn't need any help.
This is something that nausi always does, tries to flip his closet racism back onto other people by making ***up. Its never going to work.

All those other monkey expressions are commonly used. I am not claiming they are racist or not racist.
The right is claiming that "monkey this up" is a commonly used expression and therefore can't be racist. It isn't commonly used. It sounds like a racist dog whistle in context.
Full context: "The last thing we need to do is to monkey this up by trying to embrace a socialist agenda with huge tax increases and bankrupting the state."

Wanda Sykes, the same comedian that makes jokes about white people as a regular part of her act? Yeah, she must have "been in front" of this, which is why she was barely even a part of the media coverage.

Yeah, that was only the first big headline, but barely part of the coverage. Her resignation was in every article. Nice selective memory tho. Also lolnausi.

Well, I'll at least give you credit for using an example one of the few black celebrities who dishes it out regularly but can't take it, and who actually exhibits the victim mentality to a T. Your argument still sucks, but you're doing your best to hang in there. Way to go, slugger.
It took no effort to debunk you two, its probably better to pick a topic other than racism, it never goes well for you guys.
