Reply to comment by vaelstresz77 in Legendary college basketball analyst Billy Packer, who called 34 Final Fours, dies at 82 by HeStoleMyBalloons

That's clearly not what is being said. Sure its racist to refer to a black guy as a monkey but saying "has nothing to do with race" is not a sign that he literally sees him as an animal you dummy. He's literally just making an excuse saying "it's not a race thing".

The implication is clearly not that he wants to finish the sentence "it's not a race thing because he's an animal" it's, "it's not a race thing because I'm not racist" it was just a poor attempt to cover his back

I actually read it as he sees us all as monkeys. Like the whole evolved from apes deal. But maybe I am giving him to much credit.

I wish I didn't delete my other comment to you.

For reference, it said "you're a racist". You have proved my point by literally disregarding thousands of years of racism that was solely focused on the oppressed not being human beings.

Jesus Christ Almighty, you must have been "educated" in the south.

You are fooling yourself to think racists don't believe they are animals. Why compare a person to an animal otherwise?

Tell me, since you are so well versed on the subject of racism. What is the "all encompassing definition" of racism.

Please. Tell me how racists view the people their racism is directed at.
