I heard that story too and didn't understand the racial implications.
Eventually I figured out the monkey thing too.

Seems a bit obscure.

one idiot in the crowd decided that it was a good idea to put their ignorance on display

We'll just skip the whole "one" and "their" issue. But what exactly was "ignorant" about this?

That black people are somehow closer to being monkeys than white people?

It's possible to engage in insults without actually believing them.

It's even possible to anonymously insult someone you actually like in order to make the opposition look bad.

Fair enough.  But, if we take them at face value and say for the sake of discussion that they do indeed believe the statement about race that is assumed to have been made here, in that case would it be fair to call them ignorant?
