Why is it so bad to admit that humans have similarities in appearance to our closest primate relatives?

It's isn't rocket science.

Do people get mad when we note that dogs look like wolves and coyotes?

Political correctness run wild. There's no other reasonable way to look at it. Cousins needs to grow the frick up. It's gotten to the point where people think they can cry like babies over arbitrary bull shite that means nothing and has no connection to sane and mature minds, and everyone will be too afraid to challenge them on it.

Nah I can get it back on topic


Couldn't Chinese Americans that celebrate the Chinese New Year say that canceling the giveaway is a slap in the face to their culture and is also offensive?

It's not even their fault.

It's Pavlovian. They've learned, as a wider group, that if they cry "racism" at something people will bend over backwards to pander to them and give them concessions and generally enrich them.

And so that is the order of the day.


It's the fault of those that pander to them instead of calling them out on their ridiculousness.

The racist is the guy that looked at that shirt and thought about black people in the first place. I never would have made the connection. It's a damned purple monkey.

Do we need to take all monkeys out of zoos now too? It's just symbolism for slavery right?

It's ridiculous. I don't even think strongsafety would be offended by that shirt.

The c-unty SJWs need work on the name "Kings".

It's oppressive. Help! I'm being oppressed!



Now we see the violence inherent in the system!

i think it's a little funny that a black man sees a pic of a monkey and immediately jumps to racism


Let's be absolutely clear here: DeMarcus Cousins is a moron.
