The ape is wearing a blue jacket. It doesn't symbolize the BLM leader. The blue jacket was in the original movie far before BLM was even a thing. I mean if anything we could claim that the BLM leader is being racist by wearing a blue jacket that was previously worn by an ape in the original series... But obviously that's not the case. The BLM leader was not referencing the movie, and the movie was not symbolising the BLM leader. They have NOTHING to do with each other. Do you feel him sir?

sarahb 17,188 Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 I can't wait to start accusing innocent men of sexism. Even if they're not actually being sexist, well I'm a woman so I get to say they are. I'm sorry but I just don't understand the logic. If anything accusations like these hurts accusations of actual racism. Do you feel him sir? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a way of attempting to casually invalidate people's opinions to me. Instead of dismissing someone's points based on their skin color, why not address their arguments?
