No I'm with you NYcurlyGirly. It's never racism when a "minority" puts down whites or calls them a number of "names". I am also a "minority" and don't see why everything is always about race.
Both of you miss the point. Bush was described as being those things by his actions and failure to lead our country. Obama being referred to as a monkey is for his skin color, something he cannot control, and deeply rooted in a racist history, ie: porch monkey. Do your research honey...
