Black Twitter Erupts Over Messy Planet Of The Apes Promo
OK, so Black Twitter is currently embroiled in touchscreen warfare over a monkey in a blue vest spotted in promo for the new Planet of the Apes flick. The issue? Well, many believe that particular monkey is a direct shot at famed activist Deray Mckesson who literally rocks a blue vest everywhere he goes.
Yea, it’s all very messy and befuddling with an endless flurry of solid points, terrible logic and outrage flooding the internet.

Y'all lying about the blue vest. Somebody photoshopped this. I need to find the movie trailer. I refuse to believe it.

Imagine playing the victim so often that you see racism in an ape from the 60's because he has on a vest.

The fact y'all see a monkey in a blue vest and think of Deray says more about you as a person then anything else

Just because the monkey wearing a blue bubble vest doesn't mean it's supposed to be Deray…. Now if the monkey gay…

Let me be frank: the team for this movie is trash for their lack of racial sensitivity and awareness. pic.twitter.com/vf6odR689c

Anyone talking about the racial overtones in Planet of the Apes must have never seen any of the movies. It's blatant.
