Video seems to make it pretty clear they didn't. It wasn't even a black or dark brown coloured monkey. It was the company mascot and had been in lots of other entirely unrelated videos. Why do you hate black people so much? osmoticdespair Posted at 1:48 am on Nov. 30, 2008 Quote: from GeneCosta at 6:12 am on Nov. 30, 2008 If they knew what they were doing, yes it is racist.

Good on them. jakelong Posted at 12:31 am on Nov. 29, 2008 I wonder if the OP liked this pic though,,, jakelong Posted at 12:29 am on Nov. 29, 2008 Im not sure the OP thinks is so funny. its pretty lame.   How are they African American's, but they are living in Japan They are just americans who live in japan. They are still have their citizenship. Living in japan does not make you less american. Everlongx Posted at 11:33 pm on Nov. 28, 2008 taraxgoesxboom Posted at 10:43 pm on Nov. 28, 2008 As horribly racist as that was, it made me laugh that they actually put it on tv. And since they used the monkey before hand it seems like it wasn't on purpose. And LMAO at Obama-san handsfree Posted at 10:41 pm on Nov. 28, 2008 isn't Obama a monkey himself? AcidSilence Posted at 10:36 pm on Nov. 28, 2008 Yes, I definitely believe it is racist. drifting Posted at 10:36 pm on Nov. 28, 2008 How are they African American's, but they are living in Japan. But its not tasteful. I think they should have thought that one through a little more. Juicy Juicy Couture Posted at 10:35 pm on Nov. 28, 2008 .....It would be stupid.
