Why do you suppose most major media outlets are so overwhelming liberal
in their reporting?
[Olympic
Political Correctness: Who will win the racial-sensitivity gold medal?] "NBC was
deluged with criticism because it ran an ad that offended fans of
gold-medal-winning U.S. gymnast Gabby Douglas, who is black. NBC commentator Bob
Costas had just finished a commentary in which he said that “much of America has
fallen in love with Gabby Douglas” when a gymnastics-themed commercial appeared
promoting NBC’s comedy Animal Practice. It featured a small, grinning monkey
doing gymnastic tricks.
Because African Americans have sometimes been compared to simians by people
trying to dehumanize them, many viewers complained the ad was racist..." Full

Response to comment [from a Christian]: [Comparing athlete to a monkey] I think the criticism was deserved. This young lady deserves our respect and admiration. She is an American of whom I am rightfully proud!"
She is
an American. She did not come from a monkey.
Response to comment [from a Christian]: "...The news media that is liberal in its bias is that way because their owners are liberal."
Why are the owners liberal? Ex 23:2
Response to comment [from a "Christian"]: "...Fox "News" is obviously biased hard right..."
...feather problem
"NBC responded with an apology..."
Tell us why they should have apologized?
"That should end that story."
What is
offensive about a black athlete appearing alongside a monkey?
You don't think she came from a monkey-like being do you?
When you see her, do you think of monkey?
Response to comment [from a Christian]: [What is offensive about a black athlete appearing alongside a monkey?] "It depends, doesn't it."
Do you think
that some special monkeys descended from the trees and began to manipulate tools
which later became human beings?
Are some monkeys more developed--more special
than other monkeys?

Response to comment [from a Catholic]: "Serpent is hissing..."
I am not an
animal. I am a human being.
Do you think that people came
from animals?
"...I suppose Serpent's notion of "racism" is a bit different than that of most Americans."
I believe God did what he said he did (Ge
1:1,
Ge 1:26,27;
1 Co 11:7,
Jas 3:9).
What do you believe? Is it ok to think that some monkeys are more special than
other monkeys?
What makes one monkey more evolved
than another monkey?

Too bad you don't have a biblical worldview (Ge 1:26, 27; 1 Co 11:7, Jas 3:9).

These young men held your worldview.
"[Y]ou touted an author claiming that thinking all men are endowed with the right to freedom and dignity is "racism.""
Ham and
Ware are fine servants of the Lord.
No rebuke for Ware?
He can't do anything wrong--he's black.
Too bad you Lefties (Eccl

Do you always run around calling people racists?
This police officer used the term "jungle-monkey". You
called him a racist and a moron.
He says he is not a racist.
Tell us why
the term jungle-monkey supposedly offends you.
Do you believe that blacks come from a special (maybe less special
)
monkey?
Christians know that we are made in the image (Ge
1:26,27;
1Co 11:7) and likeness of
God (Ge
1:26;
Jas 3:9). We believe God
did what he said he did (Ge
1:1,
Ge 1:26,27;
1 Co 11:7,
Jas 3:9).
We are one race--the human race (Ac
17:26).

Response to comment [from a Christian]: "He also said, "I did not intend any racial bigotry, harm or prejudice in my words."
Is it possible that he was telling the truth?
Response to comment [from a Christian]: "The term "jungle monkey" is a racist term in my part of the country."
Is the officer
a racist?
Response to comment [from a Catholic]: "Serpent hisses..."
Ad hominem
"Denial won't do you any good. Figure out why everything seems to be about race for you..."
If you believe that blacks came from less special
monkeys,
then the term jungle-monkey will supposedly offend.
If you believe men are made in God's image (Ge
1:26,27;
1Co 11:7) and likeness of
God (Ge
1:26;
Jas 3:9) as God said
they are,
it will not.
"I didn't call anyone a racist."
Glad that's settled
because unless someone gives you a reason to believe that they are a racist,
there is no reason
to call them one.
"...[C]alling people "jungle-monkey" would be something a racist moron might do,
but I didn't say so."
You did
here.
You called the officer a racist and a moron.
[Tell us why the term jungle-monkey supposedly offends you.] "Didn't say it did."
You called the officer a racist and a moron because you
were not offended? Tell us why you were not offended then.
[Do you believe that blacks come from a special (maybe less special ) monkey?] "Humans don't come from monkeys."
"Homo sapiens. A primate...People are animals...God rules
out the creationist doctrine...[S]ome apes are more special than
others...(Barbarian)."

Response to comment [from a Christian]: "...[O]ne who uses [insensitive terms] leaves himself open to accusation."
Why should I believe your accusation about the man over
his own assessment of himself?
1 Cor 2:11
Jesus chose twelve men from different backgrounds with different personalities
to be his disciples (Matt.
12:49,
50). God does not seek
unanimity or uniformity. That would make for a bunch of Stepford Christians--all
looking the same
--all
talking the same.
He is looking for unity (1
Pe 3:8). People have different personalities (Prov
19:11,
Ge 25:27,
Prov 22:6). Have patience
with them before concluding that they are ugly (Prov
19:11,
Ro 14:13,
Eph 4:3). Accept
differences in personalities (Ro
15:7,
14:13;
Eph 4:2). Respect people
(Ro
12:10). Love one another. Serve one another (Jn
13:35). Barron.

Response to comment [from a Christian]: "...[W]hy don't you presume he's being honest when he uses a racist's rhetoric first..."
When he says he meant nothing disparaging by it, I have no
reason to doubt him.
Harry Truman used insensitive language. Was he anti-Semitic? No.

Response to comment [from a Christian]: "...I notice you haven't offered another way of understanding the phrase "banana-eating jungle monkey" when describing a black professor."
I don't use the term.
What it means to the person who did use it, I can't say--and neither can you (1
Cor 2:11).
I don't believe blacks came from monkeys. Do you?

I do know. He did more for the Jews than any other U.S.
President. He was not anti-Semitic.

"We are one race"
You removed the scripture from my quote (Eph 4:14). We are one race--the human race (Ac 17:26).
"...[W]hy do you keep injecting it into threads?"
Why do I keep injecting scripture into threads at a

You removed the scripture from my quote (Eph 4:14). What it means to the person who did use it, I can't say--and neither can you (1 Cor 2:11).
"Sure I can. Words mean things."
The man who used the words knows best what he believes (1 Cor 2:11).
"...And if you can't explain, can't think of a reasoned way of using "banana-eating jungle monkey" that infers something else (and you apparently can't) then you're left with the bald truth of it..."

Response to comment [from a Christian]: "...What reasonable and smart person is going to use a term that he knows is going to cause him trouble?"
What kind of
trouble should he be in?
Response to comment [from a Christian]: "I really doubt that too many people are stupid enough to call a black man a jungle monkey without thinking it would come across as a racist statement. I do know that if you called a black man a name like that on this forum, I would toss your tail out of here."
