    Ah ok let me explain. As I stated earlier, humans are primates. Therefore the headline of “depicting the obamas as primates” does not begin to convey the gravity of what trump posted. A better way to phrase it is to say, as many of the more literate news outlets have done, that the Obamas were depicted as monkeys in the jungle and although this is not really accurate, as the bodies that the Obama’s heads have been superimposed upon appear to be those of great apes, (which are not monkeys, but are primates) it does more accurately convey the racist sentiment of trump’s disgusting post.

    Ackshually 👍

      I’m just glad the media called it “racist.” Not “controversial” or any other sane washing crap.
