The joke was that she looks like Zira from The Planet of the Apes...


...who was not actual ape. The person she was referring to is not an actual black person.

Therefore it was never racist but a random comment made on another person's looks, a person who actually resembles in full-detail Zira from The Planet of the Apes.

People have been mentioning other people's looks since the beginning of time, it's not a crime.

I really don't see what the big deal is. If she hadn't supported our complete failure of a former President Barack Hussein Obama I'm sure Rosanne wouldn't have said what she did. All this shows is how immature and bigoted the left in our country is and it's really sad.

But- but- but- but- I thought it was a nuanced criticism on Jarret's Israeli policy because the co-screenwriter of the 1968 film was Jewish. This according to Roseanne herself.

Sounds legit.

Coz everybody knows Rod Serling co-wrote a screenplay to a 1968 film! So topical.
