# So, are you saying that the Black Lives Matter protesters around boarded-up statues
are like the apes around the monolith in 2001? Because if that's the comparison you're making, I'm not sure it's wise.

# no of course not
But I can see how it could be misinterpreted that way.

To be honest it's a lot more innocent than that. I'm just re imagining what it would have been like in the movie, if the monolith had been boarded up from the neanderthals interacting with it.

# Thanks for clarifying.
I assumed that was where you were coming from, it's just one of those areas where things can be taken the wrong way in the current climate.

# My pleasure
Yes I understand. There's a lot of tension globally, and peoples motivations are under scrutiny more than ever right now. It's understandable.

# "Now you mention it, I can see the similarity."
If you can't see how that's dog-whistle racism, either you're an idiot who doesn't care or you're a racist. Either way, fuck off.

# I mostly saw racist piss-heads
once the statues were boarded up.

And in that case, there was a definite resemblance.
