I FIND it offensive when a white person says a black person looks like an APE or a monkey...and so does many blacks who KNOW the history of that shit...
Remember the Minstrel shows?..BLACK FACE? c'mon...dat shit is soooooooooooooo racial
anyway...I'm done...I spoke up..>Leady spoke up...U know that SOME PEOPLE will find it offensive...daz all I can do.

Sou your telling me, us white folks have to think...before we make fun of somebody? to make sure we don't accidently sound racist? Thats fucking rediculous...I think your an intelligent dude...and you have a lot of good points most the time..but not this time. Why should I have to think..."oh..will that sound racist?" when i guarantee...all the people that would complain about this ape comment...wouldn't do the same for us white folk....and no...we were never slaves of you...but thats completely fuckin irrelevant..because slavery is over....im not going to go out of my way to make you feel better about something that happened before your time.and before my time. You want to be equal? than I won't censor myself around you....just like i wouldn't a white person....if you misconstrue something to be racist...that is your problem..not mine..and don't start retaliating with.."you obviously don't know the history..." i know the history..and if I didn't before....(i did) i do now..because thats all you've been talkin about...what it comes down to is this...everyone is gonna say what they want to say...if you misunderstand something..or manipulate something to sound racist....it's going to create more problems for you...not the other person...because they know the nature they meant it....all you have is assumptions..so in turn of stirring up trouble..you look like a complete jackass....and it bothers no one but yourself...
do not watch racism...do something about it..but don't make something racist unless thats what it is..saying someone looks like an ape is not racist...
even back in the days when your people were called apes...the fact that apes are brown/black/darker colors....and are the closest animals to humans...had a huge part in that....so saying an african american..or african looks like an ape...isn't all that far off sometimes...with the right features...and the right structure..they can in fact..look like an ape...white people have the same problem..it's just not as evident because of the skin color...thats not belitteling anyone...it's just a comparison of looks that have nothing to do with who are as an individual....now..back in the days..it's a different story...it meant exactly what you know it meant...but they didn't say...YOU LOOK LIKE AN APE...they said..you are apes...there is a huge difference between being and looking....don't twist shit around
