This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I could be wrong but I've only ever heard it used to refer to black people (not all poc's) acting violent or loudly.

Wikipedia agrees with me.

Like how they imagine a chimpanzee would act, I assume.

Im not expecting great depth of thought from people using this phrase knowing it's origin.
