What a stupid debate. Can't we just dress up in monkey suits and have fun? Sheesh. Go Erin!

[patrickthemeaney]

I agree, Erin is awesome, so is the song. Its playful and fun.

[arkangel2001]

Because I do know Erin, I don't think the intent had anything to do with the debate below, but frankly because she might have not wanted to make the song tooo sultry (which the song naturally conveys) but was trying to lighten up the mood of the song and be playful. The song is amazing, and for those who would be too hard toward Erin, you might ask yourself if any of your past efforts were mis-interpreted and try to give her a break. Erin is incredibly sweet and only tries to be kind.

My work is done here. In the words of Barney Frank, "Ignorance does not offend me."

@moebetta08 Fuck you ignorant.

[patrickthemeaney]

False premises and overgeneralizations aside, Jenn, I think you are deep down trying to do something positive. So go out there into the big world and take charge to make a change.

[patrickthemeaney]

Furthermore, do you think the intent of the people who called other people monkeys (in American history of Racism) did so with the intention of comparing them with tree-welling fruit eaters, or by labeling them as primitive, inferior animals? Their intention was to label a group as primitive, inferior human beings.

Now take a look at the ape (not monkey) in this film. Does he look very primitive to you? He doesn't seem primitive or inferior (imho)-- he seems like a cognizant great ape

[patrickthemeaney]

Its ok, Jenn, I forgive you. You gave it your best shot, you really did. Unfortunately, you just were not able to justify your claims. I respect and accept your resignation from the continuance of this discussion.

[patrickthemeaney]

Also, when someone resigns, do they generally win?

re·sign (r-zn)

v.tr.

1. To submit (oneself) passively;

2. To give up (a position, for example), especially by formal notification.

[patrickthemeaney]

Also, who is the average person? I thought it was only those who are somewhat or fully aware of racial issues that would make the connection between "chocolate and a black lover." Is that the average person? What is average? You seem to not be aware of your gross generalizations. Over generalization is a logical fallacy (I recall you bringing up the straw man argument so you might want to check your notes).
