  39. Some statements and thoughts that seem to be racist are simply misunderstood sentiments. “But I am a banana eating jungle monkey” So if you send out an email in which you refer to a given black man as a “banana-eating jungle monkey,” you still have wiggle room and could say (with a straight face): "I have so many friends of every type of culture and race you can name. I am not a racist.” – Officer Justin Barrett, Boston City Police Department, who referred to Henry Louis Gates in this way in a mass email
