Gorilla

[East]

If the person being labeled as a gorilla/monkey feels that it is a racist slur, then it is a racist slur...end of story.

Very true...and to echo what you have already stated....you really are the bigger man Jay and even though it hurts just remember that if it doesn't kill you it WILL make you stronger.....

If I can give you one thing that I think will be helpful to you it would be this.....Try to remember and internalize that what these people say to you is a reflection of who they are...it has NOTHING to do with you. Pity them.
