The premise of your argument is vacuous. Your entire existence is vacuous and built on innuendo and false ideas. Grow up, sonny, and stop the bs already. Nobody is falling for your crap over here. Maybe you didn't notice that. AAR, I expect my premise and arguments to be so far above your lofty pointy head, you should ask some friends about it, if you can find some without SFB's. Give me another racist cracker for that now, ...............or is that from another of your genius RACIST friends that has no intelligence either? Buzz off LOSER, after you send in a few more complaints to management.

I think you think its different for whites and blacks because you actually think the comparison is more apt for blacks and thus more demeaning. If the comparison is demeaning for any race, it's demeaning for all. Or not.

CO, Again, the metaphor to apes and white people is not and has never been racist. But the metaphor to apes and black people is and will ALWAYS be racist, right? One standard for one race, another standard for another race, sounds pretty racist to me. Tenchusatsu

The ape images of Africans comes from a history of attack against a race that was seen to be sub-human, and thus could be enslaved, bred, bought-and-sold, and even killed without remorse. The premise of your argument is vacuous. No more vacuous than yours. Why don't you explain, given your characterization, how it is different to represent a black race as subhuman vs. representing a white race to be subhuman? If I say that Barack Obama is a stupid black president and you say George Bush is a stupid white president, I'm not sure how one is racist and the other isn't. Could you please explain that?
