Quote:Blacks carry the brunt of the commercial scope, you can find a picture of a black guy and compare it to a gorilla easily. That, by itself, is not racist. Its as harmless as taking a picture of someone and comparing it to an object or other animal, or celebrity. But its the hate that counts - does the person who is making the observation hate the race in question.
FUNDAMENTAL TRUTH.
You can make a comparison of a black man to a gorilla. Whether or not it is a true act of racism depends upon the motive and intent behind the comparison.
If you make the comparison in a strict biological sense, to compare and contrast physical features and attributes, it is not racist.
If you make the comparison to imply that blacks are hulking, unintelligent sub-human creatures, it is inherently racist. In this sense, the physical similarities are simply a tissue-thin visual element. The point in this scenario is to denigrate blacks specifically as being less than human.
