Only time I remember that was Ali calling Frazier a gorilla.

I don't know the history of these jokes, but there were Cecil the lion jokes, so I'm not surprised that there are jokes about a gorilla being shot.

It reminds me of 'the laying down game', renamed by someone in another country as 'planking' and suddenly everyone is in an uproar saying it's racist because people are imitating slaves on slave ships.

No, they really were just lying down.

I wish scientists had some Harambe DNA so we could bring him back and KILL HIM AGAIN.

Meanwhile, here in West Virginia, I continue to fly the Confederate flag and nobody in town minds one bit. I also have only seen 2 Hillary license plates in the past 6 months and one of them was from an out of state car. (the other was on a Prius)

Glad to be living in my own "safe space'.

What the heck is an RA?

And why are the RAs accusing innocent students of being racist? It's racist to discuss and draw pictures of the infamous Harambe? What the @#$%?

Yep. If that had not happened and been a big news story this whole thread would be a non-issue.

Basically. Hysterical and sad at the same time.

Halloween should be fun in this dorm. I'm guessing all costumes will need pre-approval. I bet wiping your own behind needs pre-approved too.
