Friends dad has just posted a photo of monkeys on a car

[SuncreamInTheWinter]

And then compared it to the blm protests.

I am typically "over sesnitive" but there is not way this isn't racist is it?

I'm starting to fear friend shares these views but secretly.

Aibu or is that a racist pic?

[IdblowJonSnow]

I agree. Forward it to his employers or on their Twitter account if there is one.
You cant automatically put your friend in the same category. I'd hate to be judged by the actions of someone else whether they were relatives or not.

[Gingerkittykat]

My sister is racist, I'm not. I've called her out on it before but she does not change her views.

Don't blame your friend for the actions of her father, judge her by her own actions and words.

Has she ever expressed views that have concerned you? If not then don't assume that because her dad is vile that she is too.

[footprintsintheslow]

Don't worry about the friend for now. Act on what you have seen.
Report the post to fb as racist.
Screen shot the post and send to his employer.
Delete the dad front your friends list.

[Equimum]

If you haven’t already, please do report this.

Please sonny assume that your friend is quietly racist because of this, though. My brother posts racist, misogynistic and generally really horrible stuff on FB. I do NOT share any of these views and recoil whenever I see them (no longer FB friends because of this). People in the same families can have different views and take different positions.

[Esspee]

Someone sent this to me. I deleted it and will forevermore give that person a very wide berth.

[Sally872]

Awful post by friends dad.

Judge friend by her own actions though. I wouldn't fear she is racist due to actions of dad. World being "too pc" wouldn't be enough for me to assume racism. Have a chat with friend about BLM you will soon find out if she is racist.

[SimonJT]

Ah, he didn’t even have the intelligence to post something new, bless him and his single figure IQ.

A colleague has posted something similar on instagram, it has now been copied and sent to her line manager and HR. It has also been shared on our company twitter page (that one wasn’t me) with her name blanked in the image).

[sunflowersandtulips50]

I clicked YABU for you not being sure it was racist.

Shocking and it would be reported if i had seen it

[TheTrollFairy]

It’s very racist and he needs pulling up on it. There is no excuse, especially at the moment, to not know the racist relationship to how black people have been compared to monkeys etc in the (even recent) past

[PopsicleHustler]

Extremely racist and very upsetting
I have also seen pictures doing the rounds on Instagram of people pretending to kneel on other people's necks, with tee shirts printed I CAN'T BREATHE

Absolutely disgusting

[NickMyLipple]

This is the sort of thing my dad would do, and I absolutely don't share his views.

I publicly call him out on posts on social media but actually I don't 'follow' him so manage to avoid most of what he posts as they don't show on my newsfeed.

[OnlyFoolsnMothers]

Sorry but in what way is that pic ambiguous that you are having to ask?
This isn’t subtle or an honest mistake, it’s outright racism and I’d call it out. Disgusting!!!

[YesIDoLoveCrisps]

Call him out on it.
Wrote underneath it YOU ARE A STUPID, FUCKING WASTE OF SPACE YOU RACIST PIECE OF SHIT

[lilgreen]

Post ‘That’s racist’ and report the post.

[ASandwichNamedKevin]

Yes OP it is racist and horrible.

@Gingerkittykat I also have some family members who accuse me of being "too PC" which is just their code for "not a bigot".

@SimonJT glad your colleague's awful behaviour has been challenged

[AddressLabel]

Why are people immediately saying to report to employers?
Surely report to facebook and call him out on it, reporting to employers seems a bit exreme and surely if they get sacked would just make them more resentful towards BLM?
Education is what is needed.

[OnlyFoolsnMothers]

Surely report to facebook and call him out on it, reporting to employers seems a bit exreme and surely if they get sacked would just make them more resentful towards BLM? why should he be annoyed at the BLM?

[Ihopeyourcakeisshit]

Oh please

Extreme, what, for commiting a hate crime?

Well because they aren’t exactly rational are they? They might not see it as their own fault if they have no sense of peesonal responsibility and blame the subject matter of the reported post that got them sacked.

[OnlyFoolsnMothers]

AddressLabel well he’s hardly going to change his mind on the BLM movement if he keeps his job.
I don’t know if I’d personally bother to track down someone’s employer but equally I wouldn’t bother to protect such a disgusting human being either.

What if the person has just never been challenged before and once has been is remorseful and willing to see what they have done wrong? But you’ve had them sacked so their young family is now on the breadline? It’s not the chikdrens fault if their parent is a racist shite is it?

[cdtaylornats]

Most of the rioters in the UK seem to be white.

Monkeys are probably too smart to endanger their own lives.

If you are conflating black people and monkeys who is being racist exactly?

[Badassmama]

Report it
Call him out
Be prepared for pushback from your ‘friend’

[OnlyFoolsnMothers]

AddressLabel yeh I see your point re: a family.
I do though disagree that they need their behaviour pointed out and then they will change. Reminds me of the Danny Baker argument, 2020 Britain and you don’t know the monkey connotation, I call bullshit!
