You're ideology says: No black person can ever be compared to a monkey because it has a history of being a derogatory slur used against black people.

Mine says: If someone looks like something, regardless of the history, it's okay to call them out on it.

You're basically arguing that we can't call a grindy Hitler if he looks like Hitler, because history, and I'm calling bullshit.

Actually, what I was trying to do initially was explain the context to you since you legitimately seemed to not understand. Then I realized you were being disingenuous so any kind of serious conversation was a waste of time.

But by all means, continue inventing a position for me and attacking it. Seems like a worthwhile pursuit.

Presuming that racism can't exist in anything but a cartoonish form.
