I didn’t see his explanation but yeah that pic has always meant like a stunned reaction
It’s like or

oh man what i would do to swim in that pile of trilogy vinyls

the amount of people genuinely defending or questioning why using the monkey reaction is racist is astonishing to me

the fact that some of y’all defend this behavior while listening to a black artist is crazy

I understand the racially charged interpretation of it and don’t blame anyone for feeling that way but I’m not 100% it was meant as such

Idc what the intend was the writer should of know better specially in these times; using a monkey or gorilla as a form of a reply to a black man is a wild specially when he deleted it right away; he knew what he was doing

Idc I have no sympathy for him, yes Abel should of stayed quiet during this time but that doesn’t mean he deserves to be hurled with racist tweets

Probably because it was unintentional judging from the context of the original tweet

No sympathy from me though. Could have used any other reaction image

I mean this isn’t the first time he’s been called out for racism but then again what I can expect from a magazine that did a cover on the Boston Marathon bomber

I don't understand what this one is about

Ehhh magazines doing terrorist covers isn't new. It's just used for 'shock' purposes, same way TIME did an Al-Zarqawi cover when he was the most wanted man in the world for he did in Iraq

yeah ngl this s*** doesn’t even matter

it’s Twitter these niggas act stupid on purpose
