Republicans Lack Of Self Control

Ok, that's not unreasonable.  On rethinking, I suppose it's possible that 'monkey things up' is an expression with which I'm unfamiliar.  I'm willing to chalk this one up to insensitivity as opposed to racism.

I'll give Mr. DeSantis a pass until he refers to his opponent as 'that spear-chucking jungle bunny'.

I don’t even think it’s insensitive. I don’t think that we need to remove these words from the laungauge, nor do non racist think that much of them. Unless it’s clearly racist in context, I don’t think that non racist even think like that. I don’t really consider, that I should change the way I am, and how I talk, because I’m around someone who is a different race.  It just doesn’t register that much.

Whelp. You've addressed your own concern.

Protip: it's not solely up to white folks to determine what is or isn't racist.

Sorry if that fatigues you or leaves you a wee bit desensitized to the whole systemic racism thingy.

Besides, who is arguing for removing words from the English language? I'm all in favour of keeping them, if for no other reason that it makes it easier to identify racist speech.
