Though distasteful, the video has Biden for instance as a non-human primate as well[]. It's not just black people made to be into monkey or ape-like animals, and by no means were all black people portrayed as non-human primates (one was a hippo, for instance). I didn't even know it could be considered racist until the media told me it was supposed to be.

Wow, is there anything you wouldn’t work so hard to justify? Can you reference anything you perceive as racist?

Sure, for instance, SCOTUS justice RBG once wrote a minority opinion in Rice v Cayetano that it is OK to ban certain races from voting in certain public elections. Obviously, RBG was a flaming racist and thankfully her opinion was overruled.

So yes I would say people like Ruth Ginsburg who didn't believe in the 15th amendment allowing equal voting rights with regards to race, are racists.

Look at all those details omitted!

This was an indigenous people treaty case, and when mothballed says "certain public elections" they mean "a single election for a position in Hawaii which was established in negotiations with indigenous Hawaiians in the 1970s. Not, however, a treaty obligation.

I don't know that I agree with RGB here, but I don't find that to be a racist opinion.

I love it. A video depicting both white and black people as non-human primates is more racist than literally using the might of the state to try and block excluded races from voting for a public office.

This is part of the reason why the nominally anti-racist zealots are losing the battle. We want to live in a world where it's actually considered racist to exclude races in a public election, rather than one where it's not racist to exclude races from a public election but somehow more racist to post a multi-racial video depicting whites and others as non-human animals.

Would you say a 25 year old opinion by a single dead Supreme Court justice is more damaging to your supposed platform than voter ID laws, gerrymandering, and the attack on vote by mail?
