Bill Maher once called trump an ORANGUTAN. HBO was ok with that.

What's the difference?

Already asked and answered in this thread.

Calling white people orangutans doesn't have any historically racist connotations.

And let's face it it, Trump's coloration is somewhat orange, which is atypical of Caucasians in general. The insult was to Trump alone, not white people in general.

Yeah blacks are traditional black... Who cares about "connotations?"

Making fun of someone's appearance and calling them a primate is insulting weather you are black or white.

Guess I'm just not as SJW as you are.

Tell you what; go out and call the first Black man you see a "monkey". When you can, log back in and tell the forum what you learned from the experience.

What does that have to do with anything?

This is what Roseanne should have said instead of apologizing like the gutless bitch she is.

I always encourage people to compare Trump to an orangutan as much as possible.

However, this morbidly obese fat ass really seems more swine-like when you really think about it.

I wonder if rightys are being deliberately obtuse or actually do not know the difference. Maher was doing his act and it is a political one. Barr was not doing that, she was tweeting and showing her bigotry. they are not the same. it is obvious.

HAHAHA. He did it again. "Calling white people orangutans is cool but calling blacks apes is terrible." No wonder you are the board laughingstock.

It is a question of historical context, as my esteemed brother has been patiently trying to explain to you.
It seems you are just too dense to understand.
