Abc is not a family channel.

I mean it's not like ABC's Jimmy Kimmel ever wore black face to mock Conservative black man Kark Malone or anything.

Ohhhh, errrrrrr, wait ... LINK

Maybe you missed her remarks about Sara Huckabee Sanders?

Maybe you did.

Why didn't Netflix pull her show before it showed up on my Netflix new release here this week?

:shrug:

Someone else will pick her up if they see ratings.

Hell, Fox already picked up Last Man Standing that ABC has canceled over political reasons. Who is to say they, CBS, or NBC doesn’t make a play for her to plug a gaping hole in their lineup?

Maybe a joke about someone's lazy eye is less of a faux pas than associating a black person with apes. And it's two separate companies with two searate contract issues. And Netflix sure got rid of Spacey quickly though.

Should have said the truth and called her “a communist ape”.

That certainly would have gone over better.

What was she thinking??

Maybe "Planet of the Apes" refers to Dr Cornelius and the "wise" "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" council who thinks they know better than everybody else?

Is it racist? Jarrett doesn't even look black. Was it a stupid comment that handed a nuke to the enemy? Absolutely.

Yet The View is constantly making racist remarks on their attack’s on Trump and his family and they are still on the air...

Perhaps FOX can pick up 'Roseanne' to follow 'Last Man Standing.' That would be a heck of a lineup.


They can call it the Wal-Mart Special.

F ABC! Sure I can see that it was a poor choice of words from Roseanne but leave it to today's politically correctness to bitch slap this one with the quickness.

Especially when the person being joked about was in the highest echelon of racial privilege that allows "people of color" to make stabbing and racist remarks against others but dare not anyone of another race make fun of or joke about that particular race. SMH

I'm still trying to figure how it is racist,

She didn't call her a ******.

She made an accurate assessment of what Valerie Jarrett looks like if you mixed a two selective groups of individuals. Planet of the apes has no color. We all come from apes. White or black.

Remember that is only expectable if you are a person of "Color". I find it amusing that they get so offended when that name is used, however they are "cool" with calling each other that name on a regular. LOL.

Black Privilege I guess....

White people get trashed more than any selected group. It is uncanny the sheer open game against white people today.

Michelle with the shady insults thrown at Sanders comparing her to that ugly fat bitch on the handmaid's tale is all good.

Could you imagine the blacklash had she compared a black woman to Aunt Jemima?

Didn't you just say it's all good if it's accurate?

Can I get a side by side? I think it's dumb to attack a person's looks, and especially if you're attacking a popular liberals looks and you have something to lose, but it's also dumb not to at least think "eh, he/she has a point."

So if VJ does somewhat resemble a character in PotA, and SHS does somewhat resemble whoever you're talking about, there is no need to lie to ourselves.

No, I did not. She said she makes great eye shadow out of ground up lies and that she behaves like a character on a show known for being a govt mouthpiece that protects a corrupt leadership. Boo hoo. If you think it was a swipe at her looks you clearly don’t watch the show.

She foes resemble that ugly woman on THMT.

I don't disagree, but so does Valerie Jarrett looking like a mix between Muslim Brotherhood and a Planet of the Apes character having offspring.

It isn't racist. Hell, a POTA character looks more white than black. But we all come from apes. Everyone.
