Show...Racist comments on Twitter...Years after she made fun of the National anthem

Why did they even give it a second chance?

Because she is a huge Trump supporter and is popular with his base, which translates into millions of eyeballs on her show...

those comments were not offensive to her, or Trump's, followers...who think this is just Political Correctness extremism...they believe people should be able to express themselves without fear of being whacked by the civility police, regardless of who may be offended...

Pretty provocative comment, Al.

Personally... I have never liked the lady, never thought she was funny, and have never watched her shows. I DGAF who she voted for.

OK...Trump's base, a subset of his followers...

She isn't a huge Trump supporter......she's pretty entrenched in the LL ( libertarian left) and is open to some "conspiracy theories". She's said she wanted to give Cheeto a chance and thought he had some redeeming qualities (policy wise). Funny how if you don't join the lynch mob you get hung by useful idiots.

And even her stupid comments are being bent a bit. I don't think saying that something is like planet of the apes directly means someone who ISN'T BLACK (Valerie Jarret) is an ape (racist context). Valerie is as black as me. Then I heard she said something anti-semetic.....Valerie isn't Jewish either, but I don't even care enough to chase this one down. Stupid comments, that much like the stupid NFL players KNEELING AT WORK it's going to garner passionate polar reactions. She should have known that.

Is she racist? I don't think so.

Is she anti-semetic? I don't think so.

I think she's a comedian who is prone to saying outlandish, colorful and nasty things. I will hold my breath for our board lefties who stuck up for Colbert, Griffin, Joy Baher and the like........I'm sure they'll repeat old arguments for Rosie....

Valerie Jarrett's father is African American, he left the US with his family in the 50s to avoid segregation, so she was born in Iran.
Her maternal great grandfather is also the first African American enrolled at MIT, so she's likely blacker than you.

Wikipedia is your friend Z. Maybe you should consider looking things like this up first?

Ironically Wikipedia even says she has a Jewish great grandfather... But given that I doubt she has ever claimed to be Jewish... That probably doesn't matter.

Here's a story that describes Roseanne's appetite for Trump...

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-intersect/wp/2018/01/11/tv-roseanne-will-be-a-trump-supporter-real-life-roseanne-barr-is-already-a-pro-trump-internet-mainstay/?utm_term=.fb031063998c 


their love is a two way street...

I'm sure her comeback on TV was a calculated risk, given Trump's popularity and that his base can sustain good TV ratings, as shown by Fox News...

personally, I wasn't a big fan of hers from before...didn't think too much of her stand-up work...and didn't think her big moment with the national anthem was all that funny...

as for likening people to apes...there are some who are offended... and others who think nothing of it...people in European soccer stadiums throw bananas at black soccer players all the time...there's an effort underfoot in Russia to try to stamp out that behavior before the World Cup this year (good luck with that, in Russia)...Obama and Michelle were portrayed with simian features frequently...

How is calling a lie a lie childish?

You stated something that is false.
When that was pointed out, you stated it was "stirring the pot", which implies it was stated intentionally.

Intentionally stating something false is called lying.

Don't get your panties all wadded up just because I'm pointing out something you intentionally did.

wasn't a loyal follower of the show back then or now, but what I did watch I thought was pretty funny, certainly more topical, timely and more related to real America.

98.2% of network comedies have some inane event at the center of the plot...Joey gets his hand stuck in a jar and they have to hide it from his parents, or some such lower level bit of brilliance.

But the show Rosanne went right after it, everything just seemed more real.
