Roseanne was perfectly free to say what she did. And now she’s facing the consequences, because it was a disgusting and unacceptable thing to say. Calling a person of color an ape is blatantly racist. Not “propaganda”.

I agree it's a disgusting thing to say... how about calling Trump an ape (orangutang) among other nasty adjectives, isn't that the same? If it is, then where is the outrage?

Orange spray tan is not a race. I don’t think I ever heard anyone call him “cracker” or “honky”

You can find worse from verified accounts in about 10 seconds on twitter.

Orange spray tan? Not a race? Oh yea I almost forgot... Ana Navarro told the world he's not even of the human race... Got it now...

 

[GILSAN]

You probably haven't. Liberal Media will not show that....

 

[mr-x]

Unfake the news. Great synopsis of the media's horrible, no-good, very-bad weekend.

 

[GILSAN]

Here's just one example: When Bill Maher claimed President Trump's "mother had sex with an orangutan" and kept his job... and the Liberal Media didn't even go apesh*t over it...

Maybe Roseanne should have just pulled a Joy Reid and claimed that her account was hacked by ‘the Russians’

The United Kingdom is trying hard to disguise their massive Muslim problem. Everybody is wise to what is happening, very sad! Be honest.

I was actually just being factual, over your head.

This is what a grown man crying looks like when he gets busted for posting edited video:

You didn't know all campaign ads are edited video?

Ana Navarro told the world he's not even of the human race... Got it now...

That’s not racist.
Neither is the orangutan. Poking fun at his orangeness isn’t racist. And has nothing to do with what Roseanne said. You know damned well that calling black people apes has a long history of racism behind it. Stop trolling.

Besides, he calls people “animals”. What of it? No more hate in the quotes you published than we hear at one of his rallies, so what are you complaining about?

First, that Jacob dude is a fraudster like Trump - https://www.google.com/search?clien....0...1.1.64.psy-ab..0.1.101...0.0.7sF17ttcMEM

She went another route, blaming meds, so unoriginal:

guys I did something unforgiveable so do not defend me. It was 2 in the morning and I was ambien tweeting-it was memorial day too-i went 2 far & do not want it defended-it was egregious Indefensible. I made a mistake I wish I hadn't but...don't defend it please. ty

Roseanne Barr Breaks Her Silence After Show's Cancellation, Claims She Was 'Ambien Tweeting'

Rosanne has a long history. ABC took a gamble and hired her anyway.

And yet, it wasn't until she attacked an Obama crony that the sh*t hit the fan.

Stalinists hate humor, because the best comedians dare to challenge the status quo. Yes, they sometimes go overboard, but I think we should give them wide berth. Otherwise everyone just holds their thoughts in like good little sheep. And humor becomes humorless (American "humor" is on life support now).

Racism... well I blocked one character here partly because he was racist toward Asians (I can tolerate people who add nothing to the discussion as long as they are nice people). And Chris Rock hosted the Academy Awards last year, when all the talk was about how racist Hollywood was. He made jokes about Asians, with support from Asian kids in stereoptypical roles. To much applause. Asian racism is still rarely called out, and is quite common. And yet, Asians as a group are highly successful in most societies they enter. How is this possible?

Maybe because, as a group, they would rather spend their time being productive than playing the victim.

I just find it ironic that many of the people who complain loudest about racism will themselves freely make racist jokes about Asians. That tells me their real agenda is not with racism per se, but with something else. The whole sh*tshow is a farce, designed to take American's minds off the real issues.

Here's a good one...https://www.politico.com/story/2018...lassified-syria-skirmish-at-fundraiser-611599

The "story" here is that Trump bragged about US troops killing Russian troops in Syria, even though it was classified. The real story is that US troops killing Russian troops is something the government wants to cover up as much as possible. All this anti-Russian hysteria can and will lead to real war, something the left continues to deny. And prefers to cover up. And yet the "scandal" is Trump failed to cover it up??

 

[enlytend]

Where’s the outrage? Not that it has anything to do with Roseanne (distraction from the topic), but maybe Caucasians aren’t offended because there’s no correlation to an abusive and oppressive history of the race if one of their own, with an unsightly orange spray tan, is compared to an orange critter.

I’m surprised 45 was such a fan of hers, considering that time she grabbed her crotch and spat while singing the national anthem. But kneeling - something one does in church - oh the horror.

Bottom line: Roseanne has fried her own career. Moving on...

Gotta love the double standard our lefties thrown down here every day on the Political Thread!
It's so liberal of them!

Then, she's black. It would different if she was white and worked for ABC or CNN.[/QUOTE

Calling a person of color an ape is blatantly racist.

That’s not racist.
Neither is the orangutan. Poking fun at his orangeness isn’t racist.

Orange spray tan is not a race.

But Bill Maher comparing Donald Trump to an orangutan is somehow not? Because he's not black?

Oh I see now, racism can only be a white person comparing a black person to an animal, which of course all humans are. Thanks for clearing that up lefties! It's one-way thinking like this that will always hold minorities down!

Stalinists hate humor, because the best comedians dare to challenge the status quo. Yes, they sometimes go overboard, but I think we should give them wide berth.

Some of the smartest on point stuff I've seen here in a while! Thanks @Domainace!

But kneeling - something one does in church - oh the horror.

And today, we are now comparing NFL players disrespecting the national anthem by kneeling to going to church. Well done @enlytend you've checked off all your liberal idiocy check boxes in the last 24 hours!

The top stories on this mornings news:
Roseanne fired for joking Valerie Jarrett was the spawn of Muslim Brotherhood and Planet of the Apes!
Starbucks closing all it's stores to give all it's employees "diversity training" because one manager in one store called police on 2 black people.
Mainstream Media getting ready to blame Trump for the actual Hurricane Maria Puerto Rico death toll jumping from teens to thousands after Harvard study! Right out of the Hurricane Katrina playbook!

People who write this tripe using unnamed sources, are a big reason why conservatives hate the media. If Obama had the huevos to confront Kim, they would be comparing him to Jesus.

 

[mr-x]

Why I think Kim will get rid of most if not all of his nukes. Simply put, nukes are now a liability.

1) China. They won't allow him to keep threatening their growth and prosperity with nuclear war. They know sooner or later, the US will end the threat.

2) Japan. They've been through two nuclear disasters, I doubt they'll wait for a third.

3) South Korea. SK is promising to bring NK into the 21 century but won't accept a nut job threatening to rain strategic nukes on their army.

4) USA. President Trump isn't giving Kim a lot of choices. It's war and ruin or peace and prosperity.

5) Kim knows by now that the USA won't let him launch a nuke. We have lots of experience building ground penetrating bombs and a delivery system NK can't stop.

The NK army wouldn't last a week. Their army and conventional weapons would be wiped out in 24 hours by US Airforce / Navy. Clean up fighting will be handled by SK and the US Marines.

Trials for crimes against humanity will be quick and justice swift.

---

Even IF NK agrees to disarm, the media will not give the credit to Donald Trump. There will be a thousand hot take thought experiments on how the NK actually used POTUS to get the worlds attention and favorable terms.

Liberals will justify the lying media because Trump is just like hitler. They've said the same about Ronald Reagan. GH Bush and GW Bush.

Liberal media are scum.

 

[GILSAN]

That’s not racist.

So Ana Navarro saying Trump is not of the human race is not racist? OK... got it.

Neither is the orangutan. Poking fun at his orangeness isn’t racist. And has nothing to do with what Roseanne said.

So an orangutan which is an ape, is actually NOT an ape, but an ape is an ape... depending on the circumstances... and acording to you. OK... got it.

And saying that Trump's mother had sex with an orangutan is simply "Poking fun" and not racist? OK... got that as well.

You know damned well that calling black people apes has a long history of racism behind it. Stop trolling.

But calling whites honkies and crackers is OK? I don't see the Liberals complaining about it... How about the fact that blacks are more racist than whites in today's world? Or are you gonna deny that?

No need for further explanations from you.

so what are you complaining about?

It wasn´t me who started complaining about it... just pointing out the hypocrisy
