It certainly is the more serious issue. One wonders how blackface was allowed to overtake infanticide as the major news story.
Do you have a link to an article that explains what the new law/s allow and don't allow etc.? There's a lot of talk on both sides but Im trying to figure out what has changed.
Last week, Democrats in New York legalized third trimester abortions, allowing women to abort a fully formed, viable and healthy infant for any reason virtually up to the point of birth. Women need only claim that their health, which includes the catchall of emotional and mental health, is at risk. Further, she can have her infant, who can survive outside the womb and must be delivered anyway, murdered by lethal injection to the skull.
I thought coon was a well known pejorative for blacks . . . but of course, I also became familiar with the term during my time in Florida.
The one that baffles me is "monkey".
How many people have referred to unruly children as acting like little monkeys?
That's pretty much the whole damn world, right?
We use it because little kids act damn monkey-like, climbing everything, throwing shit around at random, running everywhere and shaking shit up.
But somehow . . . this term of endearment used by pretty much every-damn-body, is now racist. Did you say monkey? You meant n*gger. Assemble the court of public opinion at once, it's time for an execution.

The fuck?
Yeah, monkey was used for kids and silly adults.
The weird thing about calling that racist against black people is that monkeys generally have white skin but black hair.
For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.
