I disagree, much like Chomsky argues Holocaust denial doesn't always equate to antisemitism, posting a silly monkey picture will not always equate to the poster's racism, or in itself be a racist act. That it so often does is besides the point.

Sorry, but comparing a black person to a chimpanzee will always be racist

That’s probably not going to do anything at all for this thread or conversation mate to be fair. 

 

Is is it not okay to leave one of these threads without a load of shite about Corbyn. Genuinely has become immensely tedious.

Oh well.

As I am entitled to go with his explanation of a simple mistake (for now) you have every right to think him a vile evil racist. I also agree that The BBC have every right to protect their public image (however shit that currently is) and so can fire him if they feel they can do within his contract of employment. 

 

So you basically agree with me, but just want to call everyone snowflakes this fine Thursday.

I doubt there will ever be a time I ever agree with you, not now and not under any previous incarnations and thank god for that. I'm even doubting it is Thursday because you mention that. 

 

No you think he's an evil racist and I do not, I cannot see how we can be close to an agreement. 

 

Are you Theresa May in disguise?

Okay, so you disagree with me and want to call everyone a snowflake.  Just checking.

To be fair, I've posted here under several names for over 15 years and there's never been a day you've been a member that I've not thought you a cunt nor been persuaded any other way by anything you post. I usually ignore you, I have seen what a twat you are, but I decided to bite today. 

 

An honest mistake but not one I will be making again, so no I can't agree with you. Ok?

That's the nicest thing anyone's said to me this month.

Sounds a bit “snowflake”, that.

Is this racist? Half racist?

 

Just trying to figure out where the line has been drawn so I don't cross it again.

 

I'm interested in the answer to this too. My guess is half racist, but I'd like an opinion from a chimpanzee expert.

What if the person posting the image were unaware of the target's race?

 

What if the person posting was black?

 

Is it always defined as racist because of the image itself, with no regard for any other factors?

Comparing a black person to a chimpanzee is racist. Not sure what’s so difficult about this.

But, if at the point of comparison, the person's race is unknown, then it is hard to define the act as one centring on race. I could call you an ape - I'm unaware of your race - is that immediately racist, or does it become retrospectively racist if you then tell me you're black?

He is an ape though. All people are.

It can only be classed as retrospectively racist if the ref didn't see it.
