    How about you clarify what you mean, because right now, ambiguity implies that you think black people are apes. And if you’re trying to make the joke that “all humans are primates”, it’s probably not the best time, or at least you’d better do it carefully to make sure it’s funny and not cringe.

    edit: Brief perusal of your comment history implies that it’s not very likely you were going for a super-racist joke; probably the “all humans” thing. Maybe rework it a bit? :)

      Time and place.

      It’s “All lives matter” energy while ignoring the root issue.

      I had thought about making the statement too, “well, we are all actually apes” but then I thought better against it

          Agreed. I came to this comment section to see whether someone would make that point and whether they could do it without pissing everyone off.

          I didn’t expect it to be so amateurish and in all likelihood racist.
