no. i think she's adding in the ME part as an attempt to take the heat off of her. i'm just factually stating that ME=/= race inherently like "white" or "black" does. you're the one who presented subjective fact as objective, then said i was missing the point. so why dont you sit on an egg and stop strawmanning me by claiming im being apologetic, when in fact im just pointing out details your biases are forcing you to discount.



"big swinging ape balls" was a much worse joke, not only more racially insensitive, but also just lacking any context. it wasn't a joke, it was an attack.

Val's haircut looks exactly like the main female protagonist from Planet of the Apes. if Roseanne wanted to make an attack on her she could have left out the "Planet of the" part. by including that as a "mixture of" she's clearly referencing something other than just ape appearance. she could have gone with Koko the gorilla or any other ape for that matter.

people who know roseanne that are fellow standup comedians, who think she should be fired, and know she's mentally ill, are where i got this take from. there's really no reason to prescribe anti-black racism in this context, elizabeth warren looks as native american as VJ looks black. none of that means roseanne isn't anti-black. its just unnecessary piling on for a justice mob that's not happy enough with running her out of hollywood.

you're also not the one smart enough to separate defending a racist from evaluating the context of whether a racist person was being racist in a specific event. admittedly such nuance isn't something you're capable, from reading your posts for a while. you're not a dummy, just an oversimplifying average minded spot filler that this forum would be a bit more boring without. carry one making the world into whatever simplified version you can process, just try and avoid buzzwordery and abject shaming as it may have an adverse effect on your life.

do you think Roseanne's VJ tweet was racist or not, yes or no?

Quote (thesnipa @ Jul 27 2018 12:40pm)

VJ is black, so calling her an ape is racist. roseanne is a racist, who i believe did not know that VJ was black, so not anti black racism. roseanne seems to have thought she was middle eastern, so implying she's working with the muslim brother hood is racist towards middle eastern americans who face accusations of being terrorists regularly. so if she claims she thought she was middle eastern she's basically just saying she's racist towards arab people, but not knowingly racist against black people.

like i said, stop simplifying, its silly.
