That's actually horrendous logic since your first point would make any comparison of any human to a monkey pointless and redundant. There'd have to be a greater physical appearance to monkeys among black people for it to make sense.

You were suggesting that Roseanne was not being racist because she was simply being observational. That implies that people with racist instincts are not racist if they more subtle about it.
No I wasn't, and I've already said, in light of discovering her racist history that yes, there likely was a racist undertone. However, that was never what I was arguing.

He didn't directly say it. It's a fold of crusading against rather apparent accusations of racism.

Question:

Do you think that the majority of racist jokes were thought up and told to:
A: Oppress minorities
B: Have a laugh based on an observation, just like how any other joke functions

If all human races looked as much like monkeys then a racist idea that black people look like monkeys would be nonsensical. And black people do look more like monkeys than white people in general.

It'd be a lot better than what you're doing right now.
