So, Are we still at the point where monkey jibes carry a direct impact upon black

[7sisters]

I do see your point but as long as people in less enlightened places (Russia, Spain, Tottenham) use monkey noises to abuse black people at football matches (as an example) it will carry a stigma which is best not encouraged

True, but if you accommodate morons to continue along these lines, are you not then in danger of perpetuating the parallel ?
Those who continue to make monkey noises are simply taking themselves further along the road of contempt and isolation.
