Please read the post to which I replied. He asked for receipts showing that depicting Black people as monkeys or apes has a long racist history, and I provided the historical context. I’ve seen no attacks on Trump based on his race, only criticism of his spray tan, verbal slip-ups, or character flaws. Racial attacks are low-hanging fruit, used when someone can’t articulate a coherent argument.
You’re trying to lecture a Black man who lived through segregation and the civil rights era about racism and claim being called a monkey or an ape has no racial implications. That’s absurd. If believe that it’s ok to refer to black people as monkeys or apes then go find the biggest black guy and call him monkey.
Ask Black New Yorkers who tried to rent his apartments and the Central Park Five, whom he targeted in a 1980s ad. Trump and his father have faced racism accusations dating back to the late 1960s and early 1970s.
During slavery and the Jim Crow era, Black people were routinely depicted as apes, monkeys, or “less evolved” to justify enslavement, segregation, violence, and denial of rights. These images weren’t accidental insults; they were propaganda used to argue that Black people were biologically inferior and closer to animals than humans. I’m quite you have seen those old cartoon characters depicting black people as monkeys and apes.
Primates aren’t a race, but comparing Black people to primates has a long, ugly racist history. Casting the Obamas as “primates” while others are shown as other jungle inhabitants, then you calling Michelle Obama “Big Mike,” isn’t clever or accidental, it’s intentional. Calling them names doesn’t bother me. Pretending the meme isn’t racist does. Racism isn’t a crime, but honesty isn’t either. If you believe it, at least have the backbone to own it instead of hiding behind childish insults and deflection. Stand on what you believe.
Stop pretending you don’t understand the significance of depicting Black people as monkeys or gorillas. Anyone who doesn’t see the racist intent behind that meme is willfully blind. Even if a Lion King theme was meant to reference voter fraud, the image is terrible optics. This is no different from boxer Teó Lopez saying he’d fight “whatever monkey wants a banana.”
You seem to be rewriting history with this comment. Saints we’re up 14-10 late in the 3rd quarter on that interception, and Winston had just completed his 11th pass in row for a TD that was called back for holding. Hill threw the int on 1st & 20 and killed a drive while the offense had momentum. The defense and Sean Payton’s play calling after that terrible interception was the reason we lost to the Giants.
Do you realized that Obama’s mom is white, and he was raised by his white grandparents. Spreading these types of lies do not help the current racial divide in America. It only gives idiots fuel to continue committing horrible acts of violence.
Injuries or a bad season could lower his draft rating. The financial loss from an early to late 1st rounder or second rounder are too great.
The issue of hanging with known drug dealers and/ or criminals is debatable when take in consideration that RP was from a crime ridden and drug distribution area. That drug dealer or criminal could have been his cousin, brother, or best friend from high school. How does a person that was born and raise in that environment not associate with known criminals?
The choice is yours. You can either post your emotionally fueled rants about recruits and the families or save this program from falling. We can disagree with recruits and continue to be respectful. Thug behavior is just that, thug behavior, whether it is on the internet or in your immediate vicinity. I hope that as fans and a community that we give our children better examples.
Hunter played terrible coverage on that one
Louisiana is loaded with 5 and 4 star recruits. I would love to see one of the top recruits rally the troops and make this the best recruiting class in LSU football history. I was hoping that Fournette would fire the first shot heard around the country, but I would like any of the top 5 to commit and get the guys motivated to represent the Boot aka Louisiana.

The fans that rant and rave do not want to believe that their comments have an affect on the recruits decisions. The constant bickering and moaning about the coaches, the quarterbacks, and the players has gotten out of control. Some of it has been constructive criticisms, but there has been some ranters that have been malicious and borderline racist. As an Africian American 18 year old kid reading these comment, do you think that would have any bearing on your decision? We can support the team and express our opinion in a more civil fashion because the recruits are reading, and it will only get worse next year if this doesn't change.
It's not about the stars. My concern is the perception that schools can come and pluck our top talent away. What will the next in-state recruit think? Staying home and representing your state should be their goal, but I know top state recruits leave in any state. LSU foundation is built on retaining in-state recruits.
Just stating that we need to protect our borders.
According to Rivals.com, Lsu has lost the top 2 recruits in the the state to the gumps this year, and we will eventually lose 3 of the top 4 with the lost Bourque to (Arizona State,Tenn, Neb or Miami).
