This wasn't debunked, it's speculated that the ape from the orginial is in the remake, not confirmed. And yes, I don't need a bunch on Non black poc telling me what I should and shouldn't be offended by, When other prominted black leaders find this offensive.

The claim of this being racist has been debunked multiple times in the thread. I don't need to be black to understand this situation, specifically. I really wonder if you are genuinely concerned about these issues or if you're trying to stir up drama. Does talking about race make you uncomfortable? It's a regular discussion for POC in America. And no, It wasn't debunked, just speculated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You keep pointing out these things calling them racist and then when someone who isnt black gives you an opinion it doesnt matter. What the hell does the color of my skin have to do with anything? Just because my skin isnt black doesn't mean I cant have an opinion on something or be able to empathize with someone. Hands up to the sky, I'm about to fly!

They're literally just paying homage to the original film which has an ape in a blue vest. It's not their fault that a black man also wears a blue vest. It's not just any "black man" He's a prominent BLM activist, I Seriousily doubt it was a conidence Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ape is wearing a blue jacket. It doesn't symbolize the BLM spokesman. The blue jacket was in the original movie far before BLM was even a thing.
