You all assume you KNOW because YOU use "monkeys" in a non-derogatory way. But you don't know her history. This might not even be an isolated incident. You just know what you've read in this story, and you believe it. And therein lies the racism component, in my opinion.<BR/>A black person is NEVER credible when they say something is racist.<BR/><BR/>I think it's stupid to penalize people for "hate speech," but people have to live with the consequences of that speech. People might not "know" that it's unacceptable to call black people Negroes either (or Macaca or Schvartze), but do you think they'll get a free pass? I doubt it. People who WANT to be respectful learn how to do so. People who don't, bitch about liberalism and how unfair it is that we have to call people what they want to be called (as if that's such a huge burden).Chris Wordenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00558836541249077077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-15542660610198363572008-04-09T04:43:00.000-05:002008-04-09T04:43:00.000-05:00Hate crime laws: Such a wonderful thing.Hate crime laws: Such a wonderful thing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-31877501973784043212008-04-08T20:00:00.000-05:002008-04-08T20:00:00.000-05:00She should have used one of Wright's phrases... li...She should have used one of Wright's phrases... like "garlic noses" then she would have been safe, oh wait..I forgot it's not just a matter of what words are allowed it's also who is allowed to use them.

I am a fiscal conservative, social liberal and even I am smart enough to recognize if you ever disagree with a black person immediately the race card is played. We have a lot of reverse racism in this nation, black against white. I will grant you that the Democratic Party of the 60's fostered it through entitlement programs, civil rights legislation that was over extended to apply in areas that it need not apply and some kind of social consciousness that is a lie.MissouriDemocrathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12601903002852569236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-66331900416262461732008-04-08T10:07:00.000-05:002008-04-08T10:07:00.000-05:00The more liberals gain power, the more "thought po...The more liberals gain power, the more "thought police" we are going to have.<BR/>This is ABSOLUTELY STUPID!<BR/>Folks, this country is is bad, bad trouble.Concerned Taxpayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10952241910289966736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-702173964947707632008-04-08T09:23:00.000-05:002008-04-08T09:23:00.000-05:00So much for that children's song "Three Little Mon...So much for that children's song "Three Little Monkeys" - jumping on the bed - one fell off and broke his head - Momma called the doctor and the doctor said "No more monkeys jumping on the bed".<BR/><BR/>Of course one slang derogatory term used towards a particular ethnic group - "porch monkeys".<BR/><BR/>To the subject of this post - if she said "jugando en el árbol como los monos" she might have gotten away with it!Sir Hailstonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16301073859882785758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-37085518277185760232008-04-08T08:48:00.000-05:002008-04-08T08:48:00.000-05:00I'm a white male and I refer my to my children as ...I'm a white male and I refer my to my children as my little monkeys. I had an incident at a gas station where someone thought I was calling a african american a monkey and I had to explain that I was talking to my children. They seemed to take it in half belief. I guess some people where raised around people using the term monkey as a derogatory reference but keep in mind that a lot of us never have and refer to our little climbers and leg huggers as our little monkeys. Should we forced to stop using the term or should others get a softer shell.<BR/><BR/>RandyUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06215125470180770468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-3270162351881359302008-04-08T08:43:00.000-05:002008-04-08T08:43:00.000-05:00The only racists in this story are the woman who c...The only racists in this story are the woman who complained (give HER the ticket) and the Obama campaign people who kicked her to the curb. Well, they reap what they sow. Liberals are the biggest racists in this country, because race is the first and often only thing they see in everything.
