214. Question for you

How can a movie in which the ape is somehow supposed to be representative of a black man be negatively stereotypical or racist when it is the ape that is portrayed as kind, gentle, noble, intelligent, etc, while the white men are portrayed as greedy, vicious, ruthless, etc. etc.

Also see my post 147 above for a little historical context in which to put both Merian Cooper and King Kong.
