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

[HomerThompson]

We are talking about a guy who makes Memorial Day about himself.

He would've rushed onto the battlefield UNARMED to save freedom.

It’s so telling to see the reaction to this tweet from Trump supporters. They are gleefully celebrating their president deflecting an actress being horribly racist and making the issue about himself. It doesn’t even seem like they want Trump to behave like a civilized adult. Really really sad the state we are in.

They've fully embraced trump as their fascist dictator and they're willing to take his load square to their face whenever the chance presents itself.

 

[HomerThompson]

Pointing out inconsistency is not "playing the victim". A little cringey to refer to himself as Donald J Trump, but it's also cringey to call Valerie Jarrett for approval. They're free to cancel the show on their network for whatever reason they want, but Wanda Sykes just had a joke calling Trump an orangutan and is now outraged that Roseanne made a similar joke about Valerie Jarrett.

It's not the same thing, and you know it. Don't be so disingenuous all the time. It's a bad look.

Maher did make a very racist joke and there was talk of him getting fired. I’ll have to google it

he said "house n****r"

some posters were talking about it earlier

 

[kahiljabroni]

A guest told Maher to come work in the fields with him....Maher responded that “I’m a house n-word”.

Trump is spot on.

The comment was bad but mostly due to optics, as the women in question does indeed resemble the character from that movie.

ABC has floated tons of ghastly language as long as it's against Trump.

I believe he said "ni**a" with an A.

 

[Anung Un Rama]

Yea it obviously was, why is that so hard to admit? even if it wasn't a joke what about her free speech ?

What about her freedom of speech?

[kahiljabroni]

Why would he ask for an apology for what was said "on ABC" then?

Maybe abc should have insisted that the anchor was fired since they are the parent company and have the power.

 

[MayhemMonkey]

I believe he said "ni**a" with an A.

maybe, still pretty fucked up for him to say it

 

[HomerThompson]

So ABC should apologize to Trump because HBO allowed Maher to call someone else a "house n****r"?

He called himself that, not someone else. It was in very poor taste, but it wasn't racist.

You're a loon.

why wasnt ESPN referenced in his tweet then? are you saying Trumps alphabet skills are that weak he mistakes "ESPN" for "ABC"?

 

[WhiteMousse]

so it wasnt racism? ok then, apologies.

can you provide some evidence of insults that are equivalent to racism then? something equally as outrageous? genuinely asking as I rarely watch american news segments

Any insult is equally outrageous as an insult based on race.

People are just losing their fucking minds whenever someone says something that can even remotely be linked to race.

So you’re genuinely saying telling a black person their shirt is ugly is equal to telling them they look like an ape?

Why would they want Trump to act like an adult when most his supporters don't?

 

[IGotAHugePeckah]

Trump has an uncanny ability to make everything about himself lol

Telling someone their shirt is ugly isn't necessarily an insult.

But yes.
