As a Black person, this does not anger me. It's par for the course, and not even actually funny. Anyone who finds it funny exposes themselves as not only racist, but having the sense of humor and intelligence of a 12 year old boy.
You want to get up in arms about racism? Let's talk about the prison industrial complex, over policing, wealth disparity, education disparities, the generational damages done by slavery and Jim Crow. I do not care about monkey jokes.
Don’t you think that monkey jokes coming from POTUS feed into legitimizing all those other things?
No I dont think this has anything to do with legitimizing racism. This is merely exposing it. And it frustrates me that this is the only kind of racism that white people get up in arms about, but you all quietly take issue with DEI programs and say crap like reverse racism. Monkey jokes harm my family a lot less than bias in hiring and employment, or the assumption of guilt when encountering law enforcement, but I get a lot less support when I point out the latter issues. I've heard monkey jokes my entire life, and I just find it lame.
I'm pretty sure that the same white people who take issue with DEI and say crap like reverse racism are ones who are laughing at the video, but don't let that stop you from blurring the lines, Anonymous Poster.
I'm White, I think the video, and any of the dehumanizing racist imagery, is horrifying. I also think that DEI as a policy is not effective because it doesn't fix the issue it purports to address. And I also believe that racism can be directed toward Whites. It's the actions that are racist. It doesn't matter the group.

The producers of this video, I assume, want to be taken seriously, and yet, they tack on that cartoon with the Obamas.
Pretty major disconnect there.
Obama was in office when Trump won the first time.
Trump was in office when Biden won.
Biden was in office when Trump won the second time.
Explain how the democrats cheated when Trump was president but not when Obama and Biden were president?
It is the huge logic fail in the MAGA/Trump conspiracy.

Don’t worry. NYT will post a “live” update at 3 pm. Here’s a preview:
“Last night, President Trump appeared to have posted a video that may or may not portray Barack and Michelle Obama as non-human primates. Some critics of the President called the video ‘racist’ and compared it to once common historical depictions of Black people that have since been deemed discriminatory. When asked for comment, Karoline Leavitt responded, ‘Our great President is not racist. You are. Go to hell and die.’”
Well now, those pregnancy hormones are really kicking in!
Was this before or after she responded "Your Momma!"

Girl. There is no turning point. This is who they are.
“We the People” have the power. Not “them.”
I’m responding to the point that Republicans are going to turn on trump. No they will not. His voters won’t either.
And yet he is losing support.
"they" are becoming "us"
That is how you win in democracies.
I don’t want to be Debbie Downer but here goes:
Pp points out jokes aren’t the problem. The prison industrial complex, over policing, wealth disparity, education disparities, the generational damages done by slavery and Jim Crow- that’s the problem.
If you are ok with the damage racism has done to society and draw your line at a video, that’s not great. The fact that 30% of people voted for this guy is a continuing disaster. Quite frankly I don’t care if they see the light, they’ve already done tremendous damage and will continue to do so by virtue of being too stupid to live in an advanced country and dragging us down.
I see the video posts as text balloons to determine if he’ll get away with more. If he hears silence from the masses and media helps to protect him by downplaying coverage, and of course Congress does the ostrich, it will get worse. He laughs, says the plebes don’t care, and will push the envelope further.
