Oh I get it no black person or monkey can ever play music because racists used to watch shows that had that kind of music 100 years ago. This ban on black people playing any kind of minstrel music is for their own good according to white people. Trust us.

Friendly monkey > hillybilly

It's racist to monkeys.

I guess when I see a cute monkey the first thing I think is not "hmm what race of human bean is this monkey closest to?" mostly because Hindu mythology has plenty of monkey people and Goku is a monkey person and I am a pale white monkey person.

The only racists here are those who saw a monkey and thought “That’s a black person! How dare they!”

I saw that first picture and my immediate thought was "Why does he have hands instead of feet? Weird.".

 

[Traplord209]

The image isn't racist but I could definitely see someone thinking it was supposed to be lmao

If you have to ask, then probably.

At the time, the kid didn't know how to play an instrument. They used another man's hands...similar to how David Bowie's Goblin King spun the glass spheres in Labyrinth.

The kid —grown up, now works at Walmart.

Why're you racist?

 

[TorontoReign]

Only against white people so it is ok.

They really don’t even look the same at all (except for the black people=monkey thing). These people need to learn the difference between minstrel and minstrel show.

Great movie.

M&M's are dangerous though.

I have the DVD.
