re: #305 dangerman
on DeSantis:
If he’s managed to make it to however old he is without learning that you never, ever use words like “monkey” or “ape” or “chimpanzee” when discussing a black person, then he really has no business being governor of the nation’s third-largest state.
likelier, and even worse is he knew exactly what he was doing, and he was stirring up the racist elements of the GOP base
Jonathan Capehart on Lawrence O’Donnel’s show said as a Black man he heard three dog whistles in DeSantis’ comments.
#1 was “articulate” meaning surprised Gillum speaks so well for a Black guy.
#2 was “he performed well” meaning Blacks are good for a show.
#3 of course was using “monkeying.”
Pretty thorough look by a Black man. I admit, I didn’t catch the “perform well” and I have heard about “articulate” before.
