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.

People that say this are myopic ignorant liberals who see every issue in terms of race.

He’s not black… he’s biracial.

He did his census wrong, and technically he should be fined.

I won't deal with anything, because you can't even explain why you think Obama is a bad president. The fact that you think he's "the worst president ever" reveals two things: first, that you don't know anything about what Obama's been doing; second, that you know nothing, literally nothing, about US history. Both are sad.
