This implys that it is ok to say a white person looks a monkey, right? Otherwise the statement would be "you cannot call ANYONE a monkey." If there is a double-standard, why? Is it somehow less offensive to say a white person looks like a monkey? Not offensive?

Isn't the goal of true equality to have no double- standards?

WIKI says both parents are black. Take that with a grain of salt I guess. What I did find interesting is a 2015 article from Judicial Watch:

quote:

FBI Files Document Communism in Valerie Jarrett’s Family

Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) files obtained by Judicial Watch reveal that the dad, maternal grandpa and father-in-law of President Obama’s trusted senior advisor, Valerie Jarrett, were hardcore Communists under investigation by the U.S. government.

Jarrett’s dad, pathologist and geneticist Dr. James Bowman, had extensive ties to Communist associations and individuals, his lengthy FBI file shows. In 1950 Bowman was in communication with a paid Soviet agent named Alfred Stern, who fled to Prague after getting charged with espionage. Bowman was also a member of a Communist-sympathizing group called the Association of Internes and Medical Students. After his discharge from the Army Medical Corps in 1955, Bowman moved to Iran to work, the FBI records show.

I don’t know why anyone would feel the need to defend Rosanne or anyone in this situation. It’s not as if she got caught up in a heated face to face argument and blurted it out. She tweeted it out, which means she had plenty of time to compose it, and all the opportunity in the world not to hit the send button. Doesn’t really matter what side of the political spectrum you fall on, there are some lines you can’t cross, and using the term monkey while discussing any person of color is one of them.

How did we get to the point where this is a statement that actually has to be made and qualified?

She's got more African American in her than white. Her dad is African American and her mom is 1/4 African American.

Like, the idea of it is sort of hilarious

"Look, guysz I support Trump, but you know we can't go around calling blacks monkies, aight?"

I mean I'm pretty sure you're all getting reverse trolled by the op right now for accepting that premise

She's not black and she's not african american.

She had a DNA test - 49% white european - that's the biggest chunk.

Am I the only person who thinks that Roseanne Barr herself looks like she might have African ancestry?

What's with the last name Barr and looking part-black? Bob Barr was the Ga congressman who was notorious for denying African ancestry.

Seems like the lefties are the ones falling into a trap by defending literally every other offensive tweet that doesn't involve "racism", or their definition of it.

Rosanne should've been fired no doubt. What she said is abhorrent and very few here have defended it. But libs are doing Olympic-level gymnastics when it comes to other tweets.

The message here is that you can’t use an ape reference on anyone if there is even the perception of African American heritage....even if they do have the facial features of that chick from planet of the apes. A totally fictional species BTW.

What about if she said VJ looks like the love child of Chaka and that midget from Poltergeist? Is that out of line?

Bill Maher can say the n-word on live TV and refuse to apologize for several days yet still keep his job.

I’m glad Maher wasn’t fired, but Roseanne should not have been fired either.

Here’s how bad this is. Liberal journalist Monique Judge called Ben Carson a porch Monkey.

Zero outrage. She still has her job.

And SHE now is being critical of Roseanne.

Twilight zone shite here.
