Go out and call every black person you see a monkey. To their face, in public. Tell them it's all right because some democrat used the word monkey. Tell Trump to use it from now on at all his endless reelection rallies. It's sure to bring down the house with wild cheers of "Lock em all up!" It's OK now. Just show them your ……..uh...…..verifiable link.

Idiocracy rules!
Idiocy does rule....in your post above. LOL.

Default Hollywood Releases "Monkey Up" a 2016 Movie When Obama was President - Nobody Called It Racist.

Democrats are in full derangement mode. Tell us that saying "Monkey Up" is racist term.

Yet in 2016, when Obama was President, Hollywood releases a movie called "Monkey Up". Nobody said it was racist.

We all know what's going on. It's called race huckstering. This is all the corrupt MSM and Democrats have left these days. Trump has apparently beaten them so badly. (The russian thing did die this week)

Monkey Up (2016)

It brings be back to an earlier post. De Santis is either just not that bright and used the wrong word but won’t retract it, or it was an intentional appeal to the Neanderthals.
The presumption by you people that you are going to be honored and respected as the word usage police is a wrong presumption.

Seriously, get over yourself.

Everybody and anybody can say the word monkey, whether you or the leaders of your Democrat ctrl-left "political correctness" gestapo like it or not.

Wow. You think this is the same thing? That movie is about an actual monkey. Oh, and it's fiction. For some reason, I feel like that has to be pointed out to you.

You are busted son. If Monkey UP was racist, hollywood would have never made a movie with that name, especially while Obama was President.

Can you show me where this guy called anyone a monkey?


I think a lot of people need their hearing checked. Y'all have been blasting your stereos to long, too loud. If you can't hear the difference between the word "monkey" and "monkeying," there is something going on with your hearing. The difference is the "ING." that little "ing" in this case is the slang verb usage of "to monkey" converted to gerund by affixing the "ing." Thus we have, "monkeyING." MonkeyING. MonkeyING. MonkeyING. MonkeyING. MonkeyING. MonkeyING. MonkeyING. MonkeyING. MonkeyING. MonkeyING. MonkeyING. MonkeyING. MonkeyING. MonkeyING. MonkeyING. MonkeyING. MonkeyING. MonkeyING. MonkeyING. MonkeyING.

See the difference there? Monkey. Monkeying. There is a difference in the definitions. Did you know that? Now you do.

To be clear:

monkey -- (noun) A primate that... blah blah blah

to monkey -- (slang verb) foolish actions... blah blah blah

monkeying -- (gerund form of slang verb) foolish actions... blah blah blah



Ultimately, your cardiologist will be as delighted as you are that you now know the difference.

You’re making up a word that didn’t exist before now. You can be as partisan as you like, but this is getting imbecilic.

This should put to an end the effort to escalate the use of the term monkey by Ron Desantis into "monkeygate".

Only the most hardened, foaming at the mouth racists will continue to hold out, as they cannot stop themselves.
I had a relative today that had come to me with glee saying "DeSantis called Gullian a monkey". When I told her that he didn't call anyone a monkey, but a possible situation, she then goes and says "well, that not what they say". I'm like who is they? CNN , MSNBC, etc. I offered to show her a video of the actual interview, and instead she got up and ran off instead of checking out the information for herself. It's crazy to see my once pretty reasonable cousin become completely brainwashed by the extreme liberal left. All I can say is, thank God she can't vote because she is a felon for being with the wrong crowd when she was younger.

It's racist when you use it as a warning to your constituents to make sure they vote against that black person running against you. We wouldn't want no...….ah...…….monkeys in the Governors office now would we?

Come on Kitty, spin for me. Spin hard.
