The new state of politics in America post Trump...
Republican candidate for governor in Florida refers to his black opponent using the word "monkey"
- No it isn't. It's lots of people being offended on someone elses behalf. Pointless, and divisive media manipulation.Morning_star
- I guess it was also a coincidence when Trump insisted against all evidence that Obama was born in Africa.yuekit
- At some point you need to use common sense. Yes there is a racist right wing. And rhetoric likes this appeals to them.yuekit
- seems pretty tenuous to me, especially given the context of the rest of the quote and the fact he declined to call it racist himselfFax_Benson
- Here's the same guy's campaign ad, subtlety is not really his thing.
https://www.youtube.…yuekit - yeah, I don't know anything about him and that vid is creepy as fuck, but it doesn't mean he was therefore calling the guy a monkey.Fax_Benson
- Of course you can't read his mind, but given the fact that he seems to be trying to copy Trump I don't think you can rule out that it was calculated.yuekit
- Even if it was calculated the fact that the press overreact and interpreted the word negatively does more to damage the cause than heal it. FFS what you...Morning_star
- ...and the press seem to be suggesting is that the word 'monkey' can never be said in a conversation between a black person and any other race.Morning_star
- ..the word 'monkey' can never be said in a conversation between a black person...How about you go ahead and try it. See how that goes. Moron.severian
- Morning_star I agree that the press reaction is part of it. Doesn't change the fact that he is (most likely) intentionally creating a controversy to stir upyuekit
- racial divides. Same tactic Trump has done again and again.yuekit
- Trump is a shitgibbonmonospaced
- #notracistmonospaced
- You can say "monkey" in a conversation with a black person. The point is you shouldn't say "monkey" when talking about a black person.ben_
- Especially if you're a representative of a political party clearly at odds with race.ben_
- @Severian...i don't get your point. Look at what ben_ said. And I agree with him.Morning_star
- Oh snap. Now they mention "spearhead" when referring to Gillium... what's to become of us! https://www.politico…robotron3k

- Of course Morning_star sees nothing wrong with this, the clown who waxes lyrical about Sam Harris, the noted advocate of race science and screaming islamophobe.face_melter
- When did this place start becoming a magnet for shitheads? Y'all getting brave now, crawling from under your rocks?face_melter
- Thanks f_m, as usual your analysis is laser sharp. I had noticed that this place was getting too full of precious cunts and wanted to address the balance.Morning_star
