President Donald Trump
I assume it's still acceptable to have a Trump thread in a Politics forum?
So this is an obvious lie - basically aimed at
How did you get me agreeing with the liberals ITT that you can’t compare black people to monkeys as defending trump. It seems like I did the complete opposite. I don’t recall blaming Biden for something trump posted. I think his nickname was sleepy joe, not crooked Joe. By the way, it seems like this thread is mostly in angreement into calling someone racist for re-posting an i
Yeah except you did

Trump should know this rule and if he does and still reposted this video then that action is on the same level of some of the racist stuff biden has said during his career.
It's a sleazy veiled attempt at whataboutism and akin to saying "Hey Biden's to blame too y'know!" and you're laughed at. Biden isn't POTUS, Trump is and your sychophancy is as hilarious as it is pathetic.
"Ban everyone who reposted something racist the president posted to criticise it" is certainly a hot take.
What is quite surreal is that the president of the USA would get banned double quick time here as a poster, but I think that was pointed out a long time ago.
It was a joke to highlight the idea that a poster here did the same thing trump did (reposted an image of the Obamas as monkeys) yet everyone hates the President but the poster gets a pass.
Yes, obviously trump would be at least temp banned on 2+2. What conservative with a large post count hasn’t been temp banned.
It should surprise no one that he holds forum posters to a higher standard than the president.
They should both get a 3 day temp ban from social media less time served. Unfortunately, since trump served a social media ban leading up to an election he has some banked time served.

I was just highlighting the idea that liberals saying trump voters are evil for voting for trump need to realize that Biden was arguable the more racist option.

You don't understand the difference between saying something and quoting something, do you?

No you were engaging in whataboutism rather than simply condemning Trump over his recent behaviour. Even now against the backdrop of him posting racist videos, you're trying to imply he'd be temp banned here simply for being Conservative.
You really are a bootlicker.
Portraying folks one doesn't like as monkeys or donkeys pretty much is a nothingburger in my opinion. Was a common trope in the days of political cartoons in newspapers.
Yet you say this about white trash
If you want to play the raised by wolves game white trash is not a racist term either...... just like white noise or black heart isn't. It's just a common trope describing low IQ semi literate bible thumping rural Trump supporters who don't contribute to society but have a ton of trailer park kids and collect welfare checks.
Yeah you most certainly aren't the sharpest knife in the drawer, glad we agree on something.

Now answer my questions-
I'm thrilled and delighted to do so!
is comparing Trump to an ape the same as comparing black people to apes?
No ethnic or racial group should be compared or depicted as apes per se.
However, the meme depicting Barack and Michelle Obama was part of a jungle scene in which several prominent Democrat politicians were depicted as various animals. For example, Hillary was depicted as a pig and Adam Schiff was depicted as a giraffe iirc.
Bottom line for 2026 (in my opinion): If depicting Trump as an ape is fine, then depicting President Obama and his wife as apes is fine.
Have black people been historically compared to apes in America by raists?
Yes.
Is it racist to compare black people to apes or not?
Answering your question as stated: Yes!!! It is wrong!!!
However, in this specific example depicting the former President and First Lady as apes in a jungle scene in which many other folks are being depicted as animals is fine imo. Especially given that Trump himself has been depicted as an ape for over eight years!!
You said you'd answer the questions so answer them and stop trolling.
I typically answer questions posed to me, so happy to do so.
Make it a great day!

Yes, I think calling anyone 'trash' is offensive. And a lot of folks in this forum (both liberals and conservatives) use terms like that.
White Deplorables (TM Pending) would be fine, for example.
By the way, even though I only lived there for a few months, I enjoyed living in a trailer park.
addendum: it was a 55+ park, so there weren't many filthy, dirty low-IQ white kids running around.
In Philosophy that is known as the Use/Mention distinction.
(Just showing off to impress CRD.)
I feel bad for you.

Thanks for confirming you are in fact a twat. Your pathetic piss poor excuses are laughed at.

No it isn't for the reasons covered

Again your piss poor excuses are laughed at, if you acknowledge it's racist then it's hardly a nothing burger. You truly are a sad racist apologist pos. Get admin to put that in your handle and all.

Shocker that you’d be comfortable among white trash …. but certainly you can accept that term as a nothing burger also and not get offended.

There is never an acceptable time or place to depict the Obama's as Apes it's racist
Sadly we have now had two old white racist presidents in a row

No, because of the deeply unpleasant history of white Americans claiming that black Americans are non-human apes, in aid of the plantation system and, after that, Jim Crow laws. As you know.

I'm not going to pretend like this is the most damaging thing this administration has ever done. It probably isn't even the dumbest thing that the administration published on social media this week. But it indisputably and obviously was playing on a racist trope.
For that reason, I honestly am surprised that you are continuing to defend this video as not racist and relying on such terrible arguments to do so. Even Trump seems to understand that depicting black people as apes is a decades old racist trope. He has just pivoted to lying about whether he knew the images were in the video and pretending like he cares about such things. I guess you also think that Tim Scott is reading way too much into this video.
Shocker that you’d be comfortable among white trash …. but certainly you can accept that term as a nothing burger also and not get offended.
Like I said, calling any demographic group 'trash' is probably never okay. It would never occur to me to refer to a group of black folks as 'black trash'.
Maybe 'white trash' is fine if you're talking about white folks with little disposable income? 😀

GWB and Trump were both depicted as monkeys on many occasions. Shouldn't be off-limits for President Obama. (Probably should be off-limits for Michelle though.)
To be clear, I think it's almost certainly wrong to depict anyone as a monkey. As usual, Trump plays to the cheap seats.
How about a Forum rule prohibiting any individual or people group being depicted or compared to an animal? I'll fully support that. Anybody else gonna take the high road and join me?

Plenty of poor white people are decent, hard working and even capable of independent thought. I would call Trump and people claiming Biden is raCisT juSt liKE truMP white trash or just rurals if you want to use a less inherently pejorative term. Especially if that matched with my expectations of them before.

You are completely detached from reality if you don't think trump is fully aware of every racist trope imaginable wrt black people. He was born in it and raised by it lol Dude was deep in it before most of us were alive.
I hate to pull a Rick here, but meanwhile the most vicious conspiracy and attack on election integrity since the attempted stolen election happened like a week ago in Fulton county, when the DNI Tulsi accompanied a gang of FBI agents to seize ballots that were being archived as a bulwark against conspiracy theories, and it is barely receiving any media coverage due to this Obama depicted as a monkey story.
Not that this should be talked about but the rapidfire scandals can leave someone dizzy.

"...a gang of FBI agents..." LOL
All joking aside, that sounds like a big deal.

The story was discussed in the media and here. It's a outrage. It is a difficult thing for the media to write stories about day after day because there is no new information on which to report.
The only reason the Obama ape thing has been discussed more here is because a few people inexplicably decided to dispute whether it was racist.

I do my best to engage and enrage. 😀
You're just being an insufferable dolt. There's no "lol I'm actually trolling guys" out available for you, here. You've shown your true colors and quadrupled down on them.
