These pictures are mocking Bush's facial expressions, when they sent ones of Obama they were clearly because he was black. Come on please do not insult the intelligence of the people on this forum with this B.S you and everyone and their mother can tell the difference

It seems like you're the one that relates black people to monkeys.

When I heard Obama being called a chimp, I instantly related it to stupidity. But you know how liberals are the ones who actually like to separate based on race for their own twisted agenda.

Riiight? and as a blackman in America going to predominately white schools, do n't you think that I have not heard the term being used in reference to blacks?

For you to minimize the expression to political beliefs, shows how limited your mind really is. I could care less if he was a dumbocrat or a refutican the fact remains that when describing a black person as a monkey or an ape has racial concations

Same thing applies... why? I don't find anything about monkeys that correlates with being black.

You can go ahead and play stupid if you want to but you really know better

Better yet go on the internet and type in black sterotypes/monkey, and if nothing comes up I will recant everything that I said on this forum. If something comes up I will expect the same from you...deal?

I find no sense in talking to you about anything since you chose to remain clueless and unteachable

I'm not playing stupid, I'm simply pointing out the stupidity of your posts. If you automatically think "black people" when you hear the word ghetto then you're probably a racist. If you think "black people" when you hear the word goon then you're probably racist and pretty ignorant as well. Just because you have these racist thoughts and feelings please don't try to push them on to other people like myself in an effort to feel better about yourself.

If all you're trying to do is teach racism most of us aren't interested in learning.

That's why we are in the situation that we are in now. There are those who only want to hear what they want to hear and cannot grasp another point of view
