THIS IS WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU PUT A TERRORIST IN CHARGE OF A NOBLE PROFESSION AS REPUTABLE AS THE MEDICAL FIELD.

What is RACISM in calling Monkey its real name and the identity with an ailment associated with it?

THIS BIG ZOMBIE STILL PANDER TO HIS Chinese MASTERS AND HAS BROUGHT MEDICINE TO A DISREPUTE.

Most unfortunate for the medical profession.

WHO, you are increasing racism with this.

Monkey is not African black.
This is like Western media putting much emphasis on racial tantrums by whites against blacks on sports arenas.

Below is one of the trending news on the internet throughout the weekend
If the black woman agonised over that, the white racists get happy.
Pig is the return name for any white who cites black person as monkey.

Too early for them!

Look at the speed at which they change the name Corona Virus to Covid because of La Coruna in Spain. You would expect they had done the same for Monkey Pox because the world has always regard Africans as monkeys.

Anything Africans is not always on the front burner in the global space. And I don't blame them, I blame African leaders.

They will still put the pupils in the stress of finding what the 'M' stands for.

The new name Coined is more racist than the previous. It will hurt the pupils of color when the eventually realize that name was coined to cover up a racist undertone attach to it... A new name should have simply been devised!

The renaming from monkeypox to mpox is a misplaced priority.

There is really no need for it.

That will not even stop racism and tribalism in the world.

We African people are referred to as Black when identifying us.

But the word "Black" connotes darkness or something that is not not good.

But this does not change our status even though a European will bring banana to a football pitch and throw at our footballer.

I will tell you the truth... the regard of africans as monkeys was only so starting about 100-150 years ago and it was devised by the europeans to conquer african minds as part of their colonial projects. prior to that africa was more advanced than western europe....they told lies and falsified african history. why looted arts created by monkeys keep it since february 1897 and refuse to return it. western europeans are the true and actual monkeyssss

If oyinbo call me black monkey, I go call am white pig.

oyinbos are not white pigs... they are primitive monkey subhumans called neaderthaals - the present day whites descended from neanderthaals of the ice age....this is the truth...if they call you black monkey say "white monkey, want some bananas?" it works!
