The bill, H. 5153, is a resolution introduced in the South Carolina House of Representatives that condemns a social media post made by President Donald J. Trump, which depicted former President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama as apes. The resolution asserts that such comparisons are racist, dehumanizing, and incompatible with the principles of equality and human dignity. It emphasizes the historical context of racist language and imagery, particularly the harmful practice of comparing Black individuals to animals, which is rooted in white supremacist ideology. The resolution also highlights the moral and social responsibilities of public officials, especially those in the highest offices, to avoid perpetuating racism.

Furthermore, the resolution reaffirms South Carolina's commitment to rejecting racism in all forms and defending the equal worth of all individuals. It calls for a collective denunciation of racist imagery by public officials and emphasizes the importance of confronting racism openly. The resolution concludes with a directive to transmit a copy to the Office of the President of the United States and the South Carolina Congressional Delegation, reinforcing the state's stance against racism and its dedication to promoting equality.
