    You’re not wrong, and playing a video feed of chimpanzees while Democrat representatives are speaking is dumb, but I imagine it was a mix of colors and genders. Putting the former PoC president and his wife’s faces on fucking apes is another level. It’s a very old, very specific, and very intentional act of racism…

      No point carrying water for racists. Regardless of the skin tone, racism is the point.

      I don’t understand how any rational person could fall for the ploy that “some of those politicians had pale skin!!!”
