This one is not laughing.

I'm laughing. There are far worse things like murders. This joke isn't worth an ounce of outrage.

I am not because I have Black friends, coworkers, family members who are angry about this and I actually care about them. It is clear you don't.

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.

They deliberately injected the image knowing it would generate outrage to get the intended response of people watching the video.

If course Trump is a racists, and all of those elected officals and administration members of color are house pets for him and MAGA.

And, OP, you don't have amplify his racism with a link. You are giving his post hits.

No one is surprised that Trump is racist. What is less and less surprising, but many have not accepted it, is that he has completely lost his filter indicating something very serious like dementia. And what is devastating and exhausting is that all the Republicans will shrug their shoulders and life will go on.

Notice how is says "Most". Clearly he knows that there have been many, many other racist things said by the White House and Trump. It is just that thisis the most racist.

Geez.

And it is just the tip of the iceberg.

I don’t care that people like this moron are sorry. In a perfect world this lady realizes she is too stupid to vote and never does so again. But this world is not perfect.

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.

He’ll be doing that anyway. He and his father built their family fortune — with the help of taxpayer supported federal programs — by openly refusing to rent properties to Black Americans. This was true at least through the ‘80s. Trump poisoned public opinion against 5 Black and Brown teens by getting full page ads in NYC papers calling for their execution. While the teens were eventually exonerated, their lives will be forever scarred by their experiences in prison — and with American “justice”. Trump and Miller are openly racist and have openly racist goals. A good chunk of the Republicans in Congress AND their constituents are just fine with this.

That said, what would you like the masses to do that is likely to have an impact?
I’d love it if those who he views as his peeps would rise up and push for values that include overcoming racism. If you have some realistic suggestions for achieving that, I’m all in.

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.

How is DEI ineffective?

And Mike Lawlor.

“Rep. Mike Lawler (R., N.Y.) called the president’s post “wrong and incredibly offensive—whether intentional or a mistake—and should be deleted immediately with an apology offered.”
