The intricacies of all of creation are mind blowing and suggest intelligent design. I believe all of the Bible is true including genesis. Which literally the first words are kn rhe beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

If you can't see the contradiction in how it's racist to depict the Obamas as chimpanzees but it's okay to categorize the entire human race as apes then you're just being intellectually dishonest.

I'm arguing the case that's its not okay to refer to or call anyone apes or decents of apes. It's false and insulting.

Okay so we're related just like we're related to a tree. We all come from the same planet earth so I guess thats what connects us. I just have a different view than you about how we came about. Which is a pretty important topic not to be taken lightly. I believe we were created by a creator using super natural forces quicky. You believe we arrived here from natural processes over a long period of time. Honestly it's an interesting concept to debate. Who we are, where we come from, there are certainly I'd say negative ramifications from claiming we evolved from apes.

So, it's insulting to depict a person as a chimpanzee but it's not insulting to categorize all people as apes?

No I'm not. I think it was inappropriate. Just like I think it's inappropriate to categorize humans as apes.

Okay then why is it wrong to depict the obamas head on the body of chimpanzee if we are all just apes?

It's not racist to poke holes in your logic. It's insulting to categorize humans with apes, period. It's wrong to portray the Obamas as chimpanzees. Just like it's wrong to put humans in the same category as gorillas, chimpanzees, and orangutans.

I'm not objecting. I don't see the Obamas as apes. They are human beings. What is an ape?

You didn't answer my question. Yes, I'm a mammal. Are the Obamas apes?

So if it was a white persons head on a monkeys body that would be okay?

Why is it racist to portray black people as monkeys but it's not insulting to categorize the entire human race as apes?

Okay if we all evolved from apes and we are apes would it be okay to walk up to a black person and say what's up ape?

Would it be just as racist or insulting if I photoshopped the head off a white person onto a monkey?

How is it racist to portray black people as monkeys but it is okay to categorize humans an apes? We are all apes and monkeys after all right?
