Because all humans are made in the image of God…

Maybe it is his skin hue. Maybe he is a "summer". In that case you are being a scum. Can only Republicans be scums but Democrats can't.
Did he say that? This is about Trump, who was charged with refusing to rent to blacks in NYC. That makes him different than "just Repubs",.His actions on the Central Park 5 also showed his racism. So this post of showing the Obamas as gorillas, fits with him, not all Reds. Trump and his dad were racists.
Racists are overwhelmingly Repubs. though.
 
@FastLane Where's your proof that race was involved in calling trump an orangutan?

Bill Maher humorously compared Donald Trump to an orangutan, noting the similarity in hair color during a segment on his show. This joke led to Trump filing a lawsuit against Maher for breach of contract after Maher challenged him to prove he wasn't the son of an orangutan.

Background on the Comparison
The comparison of Donald Trump to an orangutan originated from a joke made by comedian Bill Maher. He humorously suggested that Trump might be the "spawn" of his mother and an orangutan, primarily due to the similarity in color between Trump's hair and that of an orangutan.

The Incident

  • In 2013, during an appearance on "The Tonight Show," Maher made this remark, which led to a public feud.
  • Maher offered $5 million to Trump if he could prove he was not the son of an orangutan, referencing Trump's previous demands for President Obama to release his college records.

Trump's Reaction

  • Trump took offense to Maher's joke and filed a $5 million lawsuit against him for breach of contract, claiming Maher did not pay up after he provided his birth certificate.
  • The lawsuit was eventually dropped but was noted to potentially be refiled later.

Cultural Impact

This incident has become a notable example of political satire, illustrating how humor can intersect with public figures and their reactions. The comparison has persisted in popular culture, often used to critique Trump's behavior and persona.

So calling Trump an Orangutan is fine but calling Obama a gorilla isn't. We call you a hypocrite.
You might be to simple to see the difference, if you make fun of someone to lampoon their genetics, you are scum.

If you lampoon Trump for his embarrassing CHOICE in color and amount of makeup, you are funny.
 
As usual you're being disingenuous.

"Associating Black people with primates has origins in eugenics arguments that Black people were biologically inferior or a lesser human. (Eugenics theories have been widely debunked and denounced, especially after being used as justification in the Holocaust).

The message was also disseminated through what would have been considered entertainment at the time. In 1906, for example, the Bronx zoo caged a Congolese man named Ota Benga in the primate house as an exhibit. The New York Times coverage at the time read, "it is probably a good thing that Benga doesn't think very deeply," and speculated that uncomfortable zoogoers may not understand his race was not highly rated among humans.

"The development of the cultural myth of Black subhumanity served as the justification for Jim Crow segregation and acts of vigilante justice against Blacks in the form of lynching in the U.S. South," Gregory Parks and Danielle Heard wrote in a 2009 Cornell Law Faculty Working Papers publication about the dangers of racist jokes against Obama.

After the civil rights era, the monkey and gorilla imagery has continued to perpetuate stereotypes of Black people being brutish or beastly, they wrote.

This is not the first time the Obamas have been subjected to racist associations with primates. According to the Jim Crow Museum, in the 2008 presidential elections, Barack Obama was depicted as a monkey on multiple occasions. A small West Virginia town struck controversy with a Facebook post that called Michelle Obama an "ape in heels." In 2009, a New York Post cartoon showed two cops shooting a chimpanzee with a conversation bubble, "they'll have to find someone else to write the next stimulus bill."

@FastLane and magats like him are desperate to be able to make racism normal so they will continue to push 'you make a joke that is not racist' then 'i get to make a joke that is racist', and to try and convince people it is hypocrisy to not allow them to do so.

Sad for him, only stupid people like him will accept that argument,
 
So man came from a monkey and calling people like Trump a monkey isn't blasphemy. Glad we sorted that out.
Not even evolution says man came from a monkey. You are one of the most uneducated people I’ve ever spoken About politics with. Do you have any concept of the theory of evolution? Do you understand what a common ancestor is?

I guess they don’t teach genetics and medical school?
 
So gorillas aren't racist? You are so confusing.

And if people refer to another human as an orangutan is that blasphemy and racist. Are they scum?
Referring to Trump as an orangutan is an insult to Trump. It is not an insult to white people.

The association of apes and "subhuman" black people has a long and particularly vile history. It's a racial insult, and everybody knows it.
 
I answered, see above.

Depends on context, if they are making fun of his choice to put on weird orange makeup put on weird orange makeup, no I do not condemn it. I think it’s funny.

You see there is a difference between making fun of a race compared to making fun of choices they make.
Who made fun of a race, Comrade fake lawyer?

Who are you to judge what others are allowed to make fun of?
 
calling Trump an orangutan is fine.

Different parties have different rules.

The double standard is the only standard for the left,

Society has to allow for satire and protest and even mocking critique of any public official in a free State.

Unless the object of that satire is a party member.

That is NOT the same as allowing for the use of deeply racist historical tropes and statements despite the FACT Magats will try to equate them.

Because Obama is your KING and a party member.



And i know you will try and spin that as ok. That is any one says 'haha that guy has a pineapple for a head' (white guy) then it is fair game for the magat to then reply back with the most racist thing they can think of and it is all fair game'.

They do that as they racist, wrong and stupid.

And two standards are better than one.....
 
You believe God created man in the image of a monkey.
Man did not descend from a monkey. They had common ancestors long ago, but went into different branches. That is why monkeys and humans coexist. Since there is no god, the image stuff is irrelevant. A creature that created and masterminded an enormous universe would not look like a man at all. A body would slow him down. At the speed of light, you would never be able to survey the universe. At the light speed, it would take you 2.5 million years to get to Andromeda, our nearest galactic neighbor.

What you are telling yourself is what racist want to believe.

'oh it is all the same. you made fun of Trump for his spray tan... i then get to make fun of you using the most racist things i can think of. It is all just a double standard to say otherwise'.

No one who is not a magat will ever accept that and ALL magats will always argue for the right to do it.
