Social Roseanne tweets outrageously racist comment about former Obama staffer Valerie Jarrett

[HomerThompson]

it's not just farrahkan saying such things you retarded mongoloid .. you have professors in america saying things like this .. professors who still hold their jobs after saying it .. professors who have great influence over other people(students) .. it happens all the time and it's glossed over .. the whole university atmosphere is littered with shit like this ffs and again mum's the word

But what about...

Cornel west is on cnn and this guy is like grandpa simpson. Dude just rambles. Why do they have him on?

People like stories about onions on belts, playa.

Same reason Grampa exists. Dude is accidently hilarious.

I like him too. He rambles, but if you're familiar with him, you get what he's saying. He also seems like an affable dude.

This is a ludicrous insult for JVS specifically, as economics is very clearly his greatest area of policy knowledge. And he's been open about foreign relations being what is outside his area of expertise.

You misunderstood. I said I considered economics his wheelhouse. My point was that when he gets away from economics, he starts name calling and playing debate games. When he is talking about economics, he's very good.

And the vast majority of us here don't like those professors and don't want them to have their jobs. We say so in the threads and we do things like not send our kids to those schools.

So again, it's just chronic victim card throw his like yourself just making shit up.


Kiddie. Table.


And Farrakhan and those professors along right there with you

 

[OverCoronavirus Pressure]

"You look foolish, Simpson!"

 

[Jorge Luis Borges]

I have a list. Only people on it are not those who have opposing viewpoints, but are unable to express anything but base, intolerable stupidity.

Like Roseanne.

Shit. Am I on it?

You were the first. I --

How... but, but, you're --

Brb, gotta check something

Roseanne was wrong for saying that. Now had she said Macaque...

Yeah, but she didn't. I happen to think it was a jab at the lady's resemblance to the old school POTA figures, BUT...

It's still bad. What's ABC supposed to do here? Release a statement saying,

"No, no, no, you misunderstood, people. Roseanne's comments weren't intentionally racist. She was merely stating her opinion that Mrs Valerie Jarrett looks a bit like those ape-like creatures from "Planet Of The Apes". We know your mind automatically goes to racism when an African American descendant is compared to an ape, but that's just not the case here...we think. As for that "Muslim Brotherhood" quip, meh. We just want to make it clear that she wasn't being racist. She was merely being hateful. Relax.

Tune into "Roseanne" this fall!"

 

[The Diplomat]

Will the right turn this into a freedom of speech issue?

Almost certainly, yes.

They shouldn't. It's a business decision. She tweeted something extremely stupid, and paid consequence. Unfortunately, she also cost a lot of people their jobs.

The same deal with the NFL kneeling thing. That's their decision to place some rule, if they were losing revenue last year because of it.

i like how the trumptards are actually trying to make this a 1st amendment issue...

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

I can't think of another time someone swung from Green Party to Trumper

 

[panamaican]

I don't think you can say for certain that the sum of her influence on the overall cast hasn't been an entirely positive one. She created jobs, dude. Stop trying to make it sound like someone who created jobs is the bad guy on the grounds those jobs went away. It's a pitiful argument.

But that's not what he said there. He said that maybe they passed up other jobs to take this one. Which is normal in Hollywood, you take one gig at the expense of other gigs. Which would mean that this ending prematurely was an economic loss, assuming that they had other potential work opportunities.

Roseanne was wrong for saying that. Now had she said Macaque...

What? If people can get away with saying Jay-Z looks like a camel or Taylor Swift looks like a mouse, why can't I say that Valerie Jarrett looks like a Macaque? She does.

Roseanne Barr told a very bad joke. There's no need to treat her as a racist because she told a shitty joke will being more conservative. Had she told a similar joke about Clarence Thomas back in the '90s it would have sled as Roseanne just being Roseanne.

She also said something similar about Condelezza Rice, hmm what do these 2 women have in common?

 

[The Diplomat]

Jackie made several appearances on Big Bang Theory so she probably also well set. Darlene can also find work in daytime tv with her lesbian angle.

The other actors however, especially Becky and DJ, are probably super pissed. This was their meal ticket.

Laurie Metcalf (Jackie) was just nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, and won a bunch of awards for Ladybird.

Sara Gilbert (Darlene) hosts her own daytime TV show.

But yeah, Becky and DJ are screwed.

So before I forget, for the brainiacs like @lilelvis and @bushman505 here who have been posting that Stanford yearbook photo of Valerie Jarrett where for some reason her picture is of her 35 years later, and she says she's "a Iranian by birth" trying to make American Islamic: predictably it's fake news. The woman isn't even Muslim, nor was she born in Iran.

You don't even need basic grammar or reasonably believable photos to trick these guys.

Rosanne or Jarrett??

Oh, okay, I misread. Sorry.

LOL, quit while you're behind instead of doubling down on stupid.

Dude, your opinion means jack shit. By all means, state it, that is what forums are for, but please drop the sanctimonious brush offs. You are anonymous and so your uninvited judgement of character is as meaningless as your life is to the average online poster.
