This one goes back to the days of institutionalized racism. African Americans were considered to have features like those of monkeys, which was used as a tactic dehumanize African-Americans while simultaneously attempting to use science to prove that African-Americans weren't human-enough in the first place. Currently, a certain subset of President Obama's critics have revived this meme to denigrate his authority as President.
