149. As unfair as it is...

No, people should not use a monkey as a symbol for anything relating to the president or any other black person. I was not aware of the shooting, maybe I would have a different thought.

I think back to the various monkey references that happened during the election, some loose, some blatant and my main issue is that people know what could be thought when they do it and they decide anyway. Even if the criticism is unwarranted, or unfair, it should not be unexpected.
