@AverageJoe1 saidYeah, but, is a simple cop-out. Just because you are unaware of something, or are unable to see the ramifications of a raft of systemic actions, does not give you the clear to simply dismiss society's culpability.
yeah, but
@AThousandYoung saidI get it, but more offensive than Hillary as a pig? Mandani as a hyena?
You really don't know? Out of respect for you I will explain though the rest of these idiots don't deserve the attention.
It's a little like the old Nazi cartoons portraying Jews as rats or vultures, but not quite.

Whatever, I guess so.
I just find it odd that nobody has complained a word about the rest of the video.

Trying to make up for calling me a potential child molester?
You could apologize to me directly, for instance.

@sh76 saidIt's not that it's offensive to portray people as unflattering animals. That's just obnoxious.

The issue is that it's an open gesture of solidarity with white nationalists by the Federal government.
Why did Jews get upset at Samsung when they drew a picture of a hedge fund manager as a vulture?

You think the outrage would have been the same if he had been drawn as a "fat cat" or a snake? Nobody is going to accuse the following of being anti-semitic:

I gather that Obama's major fault might have been that he was too aloof and could not or did not attempt to form important alliances in the Senate and the Congress. Sure, there might have been a racist barrier in play in some or many cases.
I was happy to vote for Obama twice. He seemed to be a considerate and holographic thinker. By his second term I started to think of him as "Professor Windbag", prone to going on for 50 minutes at a time, and in love with the sound of his own voice.
However, I don't recall Congressreps and Senators cowardly fearing political or personal retribution from Obama as they seem to have been doing under Trump.

@Mott-The-Hoople saidMaybe it's not the racist train, but the more-inclusive train. We don't live in the United States of White America (not officially, anyway).

"Welcome to conditioning." Is your hair shiny and luxuriant now?
Sure, white people can also be the targets or objects of adversarial behavior based on prejudice regarding "their kind". If white people would just get their act together and behave better, maybe they wouldn't feel so targeted.*
I imagine you live in the middle of the country, in a farming region -- far from the coasts and maybe even far from a major trade and transit hub. May I ask how much ethnic or ancestral variety exists in your surrounds (for the sake of reference when considering the views you express)?

@Mott-The-Hoople saidI'll leave that for the student to figure out for himself.

May I ask what your native or first language was?
Which language do you speak at home?
