Yesterday, the Republican candidate for governor in Florida (Don DeSantis) dared to say, "The last thing we need to do is monkey this up by trying to embrace a socialist agenda with huge tax increases and bankrupting the state" when speaking of his Afro-American Democrat nominee for governor. Immediately DeSantis was accused of being a racist for using the 'monkey' term. I suppose from now on we need to tell our kids we're taking them to the zoo not to see the monkeys, but the primates less they see a black person there.
I suppose if those boys (oops another offensive word) from England had been dark skinned they would never have called themselves "The Monkees". 'Hey Hey We're the Primates'.
