i believe her because i was her, previous to her tweet. i knew who VJ was and didn't know she was black. as i stated. there's something about personal experience (mixed with understanding the context of a pooly executed joke) that can change your perspective.
as to cherry picking, i chose a photo with her new haircut on purpose to avoid that bullshit claim. i guess it didnt work....
i've said you don't understand context and nuance, and are over simplifying. yet when i provide it you still don't understand it. "less racist" fuck off kid, that's stupid. understanding who something is racist towards doesnt have anything to do with more or less racist. "prove", i'm justifying what i think, that's it.
roseanne shouldn't have been let back on TV, she's a racist mentally ill ticking timebomb. her tweet was inexcusably offensive, but i dont think she meant it to be offensive for the reason that it is. Like if i called you a little nancy boy because you wouldn't jump off a cliff into water with me, without knowing you're actually gay. sometimes things you say have an amplified effect for information you don't know. maybe with that poignant example you can finally understand i'm not a closet racist or racist apologist.
so wait, let me get this straight, you thought VJ was hispanic? or white? (or middle eastern? Lol!) lol, I don't even... but I'll take you at your word I suppose...
I never called you a racist or meant to imply it (if I did ?_?) you just come off as a person who wants to badly defend Roseanne...
here's where we agree: "roseanne shouldn't have been let back on TV", 100% agree with you, ABC knew what they COULD get (both the good and the bad) and they got greedy, High risk, high reward situation and it bit them in the ass.
here's where strongly disagree: you seem to give Roseanne the benefit of the doubt where I think her tweet was not just some dumb/cute attempt at humor, I think it was her deliberately trying to get the 'likes' and attention from her MAGA/far right fan base on an intentionally racially charged tweet that she thought her audience would eat up & find funny. I think there's some mental issues there but using "ambien tweeting" and probably-overblown "mental illness" as a cover is SICKENING to me...
