Aaaaand that's yet another nickel for Pogo's Law.
Once again the point was the Double Standard of trying to pick apart the phrase "run train" while bending over backward to find apologies for the phrase "monkey this up". *NOTHING* in that point has jack squat to do with "CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, Ny times, Wash post". It's a reference to THIS FORUM and its posters who want to have it this way when it helps, that way when it doesn't.
DEAL with that and quit trying to deflect to other shit. K?
the problem with your nickel is that equating the word "monkey" to "negro" is not a valid argument, whereas stating the ghetto meaning of the phrase "run train" is a valid argument. It is quite possible that AOC had no idea what that phrase meant and just thought it sounded cool, she is that dumb.
uh HUH. So "train" may be used as a metaphor while "monkey" may not.
See what I mean? Double Standard.
NO, we are talking about common parlance of the English language and the use of specific phrases within the ghetto culture. It wasn't the word "train" it was the ghetto phrase "run train" which we all now know means gang rape in ghetto language. Do you use the word monkey when referring to black people? I don't and neither does the governor of florida.
I don't know the governor of Florida (proper names get capitalized) and I seriously doubt you do either, but he did use a bizarre phraseology to evidently dog-whistle a particular base, and you're STILL bending over backward for it. Even Fox Noise, who ran the interview, immediately apologized for it, so this pretentious bullshit just isn't selling. Matter of fact your own use here of "ghetto" is trying to do the same thing to a different party who is also unknown to either of us.
What's remarkable here is the level of self-delusion that seems to give you the idea that people can't see right through this malarkey.
I remember monkey wrenches and monkeying around, neither had anything to do with black people. De Santis used a common expression, its only you radical lefties that insist or making it something racial. Calling ghetto language ghetto language is merely being accurate, if you don't like the term ghetto use big city inter city language (and its used by blacks, whites, Asians, and Hispanics), its a central city term, not a racial term. It means gang rape.
I seriously doubt that AOC even knew what it meant. The girl is quite stupid and naïve.
"Monkey wrench" is common, we've all heard it. "To monkey around" ditto. "Monkey this up", deSantis invented. Only he knows what he intended there but obviously he went out of his way to create a new phrase. Don't sit here and try to pretend it's common parlance and has no meaning, and then turn around and scream about "run train" and declare it DOES have meaning. That's a blatant Double Standard. BOTH of these expressions are obscure and uncommon, yet you're sitting here declaring the one you find a partisan-hack weapon has all this insidious "rape" "ghetto" baggage, while the one you like is sugar and spice and everything nice. Doooooooooooooooooon't think that's gonna sell.
