Well she called a black lady an ape, and I think you have to BE racist to think that is racist.


From the article in the OP...

What Barr said on Twitter

In one of the tweets, she wrote, "Muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby=vj."

Barr was responding to a comment about Valerie Jarrett, a top former aide to President Obama.

She claimed she was joking, but then she deleted the tweet and issued an apology to Jarrett and "all Americans."

"I am truly sorry for making a bad joke about her politics and her looks," Barr tweeted. "I should have known better. Forgive me -- my joke was in bad taste." Barr then said she's leaving Twitter.

Jarrett told MSNBC later on Tuesday that "we have to turn [this episode] into a teaching moment."



The bold is the problem with all this.


/e I mean you didn't hear Trump saying anything about turning this into a teaching moment, when the Missouri senator went off the beam...

You are so clueless it staggers me to wonder how you made it this far in life walking around as delusional as you seem to be.

I think some of PaRD thinks that if they say something enough times, it becomes true.

Roseanne is a comedic actress, she made fun of two politicians and an economist w/e. I've seen comedic types make fun of people of all walks of life, as long as I've been around.
Yet only THIS time was it considered bad. Keep in mind that this was not done during Roseanne's work, aka her show.

So another black person cancelled the show. Yeah, I'd say it's racist, when a company whose president is black and cancels a show of mostly white people, for a ...joke. I didn't see anyone complaining about the Soros or the Clinton jokes.
I didn't see those jokes included in why Channing Dungey canceled the show. I mean they were listed in the article but not in the reasons for the cancellation.
So yeah it's racist. So sorry I don't buy the BS that blacks can't be racist.

I'd say it's also anti-first amendment.


I didn't hear the PaRDians that think cancelling Roseanne was OK, flipping out, when a black senator from Missouri (after the Charlottesville incident) got away with saying: I wish someone would assassinate Trump.
Which when taken in context is racist. She was in effect accusing Trump of being racist and deserving to die, because Trump said: I think both sides are equally to blame.

/e Funny how some PaRDians seem to ONLY see things they WANT to see, WHEN they want to see it.

You are incredibly confused by simple concepts.

The real question is: why are racist loons always Trump supporters?


Not all Trump supporters are racist, but racists disproportionately support Trump. It's been said many times before, and it's true.

Donald Trump is unequivocally a racist. I don't understand the hesitation people have with calling him one. Does he actually need to say the N word or explicitly say Brown people are worse than White people to labeled a racist? Is that the bar for racism?

Things he has said: Mexican immigrants are rapists, Haitians have AIDS, Nigerians need to go back to their huts, shithole countries, "breeding", "animals", the Central Park 5, racial rental preferences in the 1970s, his moral equivalency of Charlottesville protesters with White Supremacists. That's just off the top of my head.

And oh, how can I forget? Obama Birtherism. His entire 2012 political platform.

I'll let him off the hook for "Pocahontas." That is actually pretty funny, and it's ridiculous Elizabeth Warren ever claimed to be Native American. That one being racist is a reach by the Left.

I love how Ghot keeps bringing up the president of the network's race while defending an overt racist.

Ghot, we don't care that they hired a black person. It's 2018, you shouldn't either.
