We are primates and evolved from apes so what is the issue here?

[–] OnanTheBarbarian (10367) a year ago

What I don't get is why a reference to "Planet of the Apes" is deemed as racist?

What idiot associates blacks with apes? Is that supposed to be a meme?

She was just saying Valerie Jarrett was ugly. How is that racist?

Oh you "get it". Roseanne got it too then blamed Ambien. LOL

[–] OnanTheBarbarian (10367) a year ago

No, I don't believe black people look like apes. I doubt Barr does either. The whole incident was ridiculous.

I'm guessing she blamed Ambien for her joke about Jarrett. She never admitted to the bizarre accusation of racism.

Exactly.

I would blame this on the brainwashing of the PC Nazis who feel like they somehow have to be offended by every fricking thing.

When a right winger calls a black a monkey or whatever, they could point out what I bring up instead of giving in to the racist BS.

Her career waned decades ago. She's just an old decaying Boomer seeking relevance, but can only find it thru a fringe rightwing audience.

[–] OnanTheBarbarian (10367) a year ago

Perhaps. But she did have her show cancelled over a rather harmless joke.

75 million is really fringe.

That's not her audience but yo your point, a lot of partisan Americans will still vote for tRump even if he's indicted. These are the same people who still hate Clinton because of a blowjob, and Hate Obama even more because he "lied" about how can keep their doctor LOL
