If I’m eating breakfast, let’s say a banana, and while taking my first bite a black person walks into my dining room. Is it racist if I continue eating it in front of them. Of course not. It’s still not racist if the black person thinks it is.
It’s still not racist when you find out the person eating the banana is in fact not white. It’s still not racist when the person eating the banana is with a friend who’s also eating a banana for breakfast, a breakfast they’ve shared together for years.
It’s especially not racist when people enter the dining room and tell everyone present that these two people have been eating bananas for breakfast since they’ve known them. And one of them is in fact a monkey who only eats bananas

Bananas & monkeys aren’t racist. Context is✌️
Those who see monkeys and/or bananas and instantly think of black people probably need to meditate on the idea that monkeys aren’t black people. Not everyone has the instinctive ignorant reaction, most people just see the harmlessness of a fruit and an animal✌️
Ending racism is about educating the ignorant people out of their racism without labels and exposing the hateful ones who are lost causes.
