Zero outrage over this. Ya know why?

[Lliam]

Because not everything is about race.
Sometimes people just laugh.
Sometimes things are just funny.
And not every moment needs to be turned into a racial controversy.
Some things are just what they are — a joke, a moment, a laugh.
And that’s okay.

All you have to do is click the link and look at the photo. It's not hard.

Stop making assumptions about my question and posting irrelevant answers without looking at the photo.

i thought it was funny. what animal should they have been? well, surprise! we're all apes. is it because they made good apes? are black people more biologically linked to apes than caucasoid? it's probable based on the theory. so the joke is that black people are one evolution away from whites?

that's too much to think about. it's donald trump as a freakin lion which is just as stupidly funny. others look stupid too.

but i'm sure this was going to be seen as a free pass on being racist.

[Sevenpointfive]

i looked. i assumed you were making a point and defending trumps post made of the obamas in a similar vein.

[Mike_Hum]

I have a hard time believing people that routinely call Trump and Elon a 'nazi' are actually offended that someone would make fun of the Obamas.

[Lliam]

What's weird is, that cartoon didn't just mock the Obamas so why is everybody only focused on them?

[Mike_Hum]

Anytime they can call someone racist they get little boners.

[AI Opinion]

Sometimes a joke really is just a joke 😊

Context matters so much. Comedy clubs, roasts, sitcoms, even late‑night shows get away with edgy stuff because everyone walked in expecting humor, not a political statement.

Outrage usually starts when there’s cruelty, power imbalance, or a history of harm behind the joke. If people sense none of that, they just laugh and move on. 🎭

Well

[HawkPerception]

Trump said he didn't know that was at the end of the video and he's always been a straight up guy. I definitely believe him. Trump is not dumb enough to post something like that, knowing what negative media critics would say and how the left would use it. They blew this whole thing out of proportion. The main thing he wanted to share was voting fraud. They took the video down as soon as they found out about the apes part.

[Lliam]

Did you open the link to the photo.

[HawkPerception]

I did... I wasn't making a comment directly about the photo, but I already got the message

[NathanDavis]

yeah, not everything is about race... but this was about their race

and yes, sometimes people just laugh... but this was about something more than laughing

also, yes, some things are just funny... but sometimes it is about mocking and making fun of

and no, not every moment has to be turned into a racial controversy... but this was about race from the very beginning and the aim was to normalize controversy

but yeah, some things are just what they are and some people are just who they are... and will downplay, justify and excuse racism towards others as long as it doesn't affect them... some people are okay with that, as long as it is against black

either... you're okay and don't mind when black people are portrayed on a racist manner, or you're just not okay with it

[Lliam]

Did you even click on the link?

[NathanDavis]

no, but I know what you made this post about

so... are you okay with the Obamas being portrayed as animals, or not... Lliam?

[Lliam]

No, you don't know what the post is about.
You know what's joke. You can't even click a link to see an image before making an irrelevant comment.
And FUCK the Obamas.

[NathanDavis]

so you are okay with racist mockery... got it

[Lliam]

Still didn't see the photo. Okay. Keep repeating Democrat cries about racism.

[NathanDavis]

will you answer though... or are you going to ignore the question

are you okay with... or don't mind it if others use mockery racist posts to refer to black people?

that is something I want to hear from you, are you okay when others do that? or not... simple

[Lliam]

@NathanDavis. You didn't answer mine. I'll be clear since you didn't look at the photo. Was it racism for Democrats to portray George W. Bush as a chimp?

Was it racist for the current video to portray Biden as an ape?

It cracks me up that Dems are trying to make a big deal about their revered Obamas. . Dems are disingenuous and hypocritical. They leap at any opportunity to bag on Trump. And racism is just a political tactic for them.

Personally, I think it was an insult to chimps to compare the Obamas to them.

I'll add that you know nothing about my life and have no idea how un-racist I am. But I'm not a gullible Democrat any more. And that doesn't make me a Republican or Trump fan, either.

[NathanDavis]

I didn't ask if you are racist... and I didn't think you were

that's why I asked the second question... are you okay when others use racist mockery to refer to black people

that's the one question you refuse to answer and you just keep going around it and dodging it, which is fine... if you don't mind it when others do it, that's up to you

it is what it is... and it's always easier to just say "I didn't do it, they did"

[Lliam]

@NathanDavis. Why are you asking me questions without answering mine?

I am opposed to mean racism. But not every reference to race is racism. And putting someone's face on a chimp isn't necessarily racism.
Also, there is good natured racism. For instance, I've seen Tommy Chong make some really funny jokes to Cheech Marin about his Mexican heritage and Cheech laughed his ass off. Their movies made racial jokes, too.
People lampoon other nationalities. Is that racism? Are the only ones you are not allowed to talk about blacks and Jews?

[NathanDavis]

it is the same one question... I asked it in the original comment, lol

and you still have not answered it... I keep asking it, because I really want to know the answer

now you have answered something... but is not something I asked

racial jokes are not racist... I know that

and that's exactly why I used the word mocking

a joke is when both sides laugh to it... and a racial joke does that, you say it in front of the other who is laughing with you

but mockery... is a very different thing, and I did ask you... are you okay with racist mockery

yes, or no

[Lliam]

Of course not. Jeeeez

[NathanDavis]

good...

[Billlewis]

Well, I think there is plenty of contrived, manufactured outrage, but you’re right, there’s no genuine outrage, at least by semi sane people.

[AviatorTom]

You do know I'm not going to click on a link that's 8 lines long...

What does this link say?

[Lliam]

It takes a simple click to see the photo.

[AviatorTom]

@Lliam As I said, I'm not going to click some ransom long-winded link that is a cyber-security risk. If it's only a photo, you could have easily downloaded it and embedded it in your question. Maybe next time you can do that.

[Anonymous]

WTF is this nonsense? Makes no sense. It's just weird.

[beefcakebradybatson]

KMA, Trumpbot !!!

[Lliam]

What did Dems comparing Dubya to a chimp have to do with Trump?
