Monkey

links to websites would be appreciated

Josh you well need to do research about these two subject THEN combine them here is a website that might help you www.wikipedia.org. Also the Scope Monkey Trial was about how public schools could not teach Evolution in school during the 1500’s in Tenn. and The Great Black Migration was not about African Americans migrating but Slavery again do research.

On youtube some whites are always calling blacks monkeys.

Most white people dont but some racist ones do and they do it because they’re idiot racists
.

You’ve seen it — The President is a black man — and often times those opposed use a monkey face in some manner to draw comparisons to him

What are the implications of that ?
That black people are descended by apes but whites aren’t ? The cheap science of hate that dare not speak its name but show itself off in pictures ?

You don’t like his policies —- I am with you — at least in so far as I will listen to why — but the implications of the monkey in comparison to a man — how is that not old fascist KKK white supremacy incitement to an undereducated thug ?

Did it occur to you that every race on the planet would have come from the same place at about the same time according to the theory that the monkey they flash implies —- YOUR race to according to this missused comic quote of wrongly used images — implies YOU wether white or black or brown or yellow or red — are related to that monkey

—- Why isn’t that part coming across in the use of the image of a monkey in comparison to a man who is President ?

Did you love the surges and temporary losses and kick butt message of Bush — Obama has the same stay the course status quo attitude Bush did —

Who is the message aimed at and what is it to accomplish ?

It has long been a racist image.

Tracey, no one believes man descended from the apes. We had a common ancestor. Perhaps a little reading would do you some good.

…that staqnds up straight…..not hunched over like a monkey …..after the human standing straight whats next because theres no way thats it….there has to be more……….if something changes ……it dosent just stop at acertain point

Please do not think you are learning anything at all about evolution from that image. It’s like looking at a cartoon of an apple falling on Newton’s head and thinking your learning about gravity.

The image you’re talking about is called the "March of Progress" image … and it is probably responsible for more misunderstandings about evolution than any other image.

Man did not evolve from monkeys. Man shares a common ancestor with the monkeys. The March of Progress image is a *SIMPLIFICATION* that just does not do justice to the *branching* nature of what evolution is really about.

i’ve found this spider in my garden and can’t find anything like it on the internet. it looks like the ‘monkey face’ is engraved!

It could be one of the Jumping spiders…..sometimes they have images of skulls on their backs.

obama is horrible president! just because he is black doesn’t mean anything! he just happens to be black and yet he is the worst president ever!!!!!!!1 deal with it

sid.

The reference of a black person resembling a monkey is a profoundly historical racist comment. It has been a tool of dehumanization for centuries and cannot remotely be compared to presenting a white person as monkey looking. There are a freaking gajillion drawings from as far back as pre-abolition showing black people as monkeys. It was used to degrade the value of these people and keep them subjugated. There is no hypocrisy here, just morally lazy people steeped in fear, clinging to the past, hoping their bad behavior is valid because they are uncomfortable with facts. Please. Embrace the racism, and quit trying to ram it down our throats.

and you genuinely see a resemblance?
Or any sort of ape. It’s part of my point, Cocoa. We can see animal features in any person, but when should be offended by it?

If I were to hear that my first thought is going to be, " Oh great… someone is about to get loud and fists are going to start flying". If the black person looked like a monkey, then yes I will see the resemblance, if not then I won’t. Outwardly I am stepping away from the situation and moving to the side. However, depending on how the black person looks ( attire wise), my thought changes. Like a well dressed black person, my thought would be, " I can’t believe this b.ì.t.c.h said that to him/her!" (person calling them monkey is the b.ì.t.c.h).

EDIT: Oh! if the black person really looked like a monkey I would laugh internally and try my best to not show in my facial expression, I’m not stupid…..

It’s gotten so out of hand it’s pathetic. I cant say monkey around anyone that is black because the assume I’m making a joke of them, they tell me to say African America rather than just black because it offends them if i say black people. The list goes on.

White people can be called cracker, honky, whitey, white devil and what not and were supposed to take it.

I hate it too dude. usually the argument is "well you weren’t put in slavery for 300" years, as if it was actually them being put in slavery, not their great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandparents, and as if it was actually us doing it, not the people that lived 300 yrs ago….we have no control of the past

not that it doesn’t go both ways, because it does

I only know 3-4 on the CD and then I don’t wanna get the CD if the other songs aren’t good. So give me your opinion and I’ll consider getting the CD.

Please and Thanx,
Sonia

I don’t liek that kind of music. In my opinion, that’s a waste of money.
