Are you really so ******* clueless that you are unaware that “monkey” and “ape” are racial epithets?
The Left can't survive a day without being outraged

She was born in Iran to African American parents. Her grandfather was the first African American to attend MIT.
They also told her to tone down the political rhetoric next seasonNonsense. You’re creating a narrative you’d like to believe. The ABC news news execs knew of the show’s politics well before the first episode aired. Are you so naive to think the profits and ratings meant nothing to them and they are now relieved to lose that? Youve lost your friggin mind.
does it really matter? at this point, not even ogres have pure white lineage. we're all a bunch of ******* mutts.
everyone CAN be offended about anything, if they want.
I don't care how black she is - she's ******* gone, that's all that matters
Imagined hypocrisy. Bill Maher did get fired by none other than ABC for something he said.
Yes of course it matters. There is a long painful history of black people being treated as subhuman, as well as a long history of comparing black people to apes as racial slur. This isn't just someone being hypersensitive, it is deeply offensive.
Watching people trying to twist themselves into pretzels to defend it is embarrassing.
I'm not twisting anything. I couldn't give a **** less about Roseanne Barr, or her show. I do, however, find the faux outrage embarrassing when it's coming from the same side that continuously does the exact same thing.
Roseanne is not a great comedienne, nor even a role model. Nor should she be looked up to. She's a disgusting person and always has been.
ABC can fire whoever it wants, so long as it does not violate the law. Barr's statements were obviously offensive and termination-worthy. We can agree on that.
However, once again, this street goes one way. Vile, ugly comments by liberals are "funny" or "should not be taken seriously," so no harm comes to them. Anybody who does not see the double standard is being willfully blind.
Of course there's a double standard. This isn't the hill to die on over that though.
Nobody is defending the **** bag - you know she's a **** bag, right? She's as liberal as they come
quite frankly, it is.
some see racism in her comment (I do). others do not.
did she mean any harm in it? probably not. she was trying to make a joke...and she's been trying to make jokes for a long damn time.
as Steeltime insinuated, if she had a (D) next to her name, this wouldn't make a blip on the political radar.
Of course there's a double standard. This isn't the hill to die on over that though.
Point out the double standard every time, 100% of the time, make it known, make it undeniable, and then kill that double standard. Otherwise, look forward to different rules for different groups.
Is this fake or a real quote? Because if it's an actual quote, wow.
