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

[scorpipede]

This. Comedian is her job not her nature.

Clown is her nature.

 

[Uncle Bingo]

Well, it was fun comeback while it lasted.

 

[Uncle Bingo]

I respect the fact that you showed restraint today and didn't immediately try to spin and defend the tweet. Baby steps.

Baby steps, indeed.

 

[Uncle Bingo]

Disagree. Her base adores making martyrs out of racist people who get in trouble for being racist. This will play well.

It was paying well, too...

 

[Uncle Bingo]

Is this a big deal? She seems like a garden variety Trumpster. Can't imagine her audience would stop watching over this.

Either way, the show is over.

 

[Uncle Bingo]

Offensive jokes about race are no worse than offensive jokes about looks, financial standing, disabilities, etc.

No one cares about your outrage over people of color. Get over yourself. If she made a joke about inbred rednecks raping their daughters, you wouldn't label her a hateful, whatever. You'd probably smirk.

Apparently, ABC cares.

But thre was no comedy, not set up, no punchline, just a random racist tweet. I am all for comedy, but that was not an actual joke.

I don't see the joke either.

I guess calling a black person a subhuman Muslim is subjectively funny.

 

[Fawlty]

I completely disagree here. Just because she is a comedian does not mean everything she says is a joke.

She is also a CT spouting racist.

I put this in the second category.

You're saying, for sure, that you know she wasn't trying to be funny there. Quite a claim.

And comics are comics around the clock.

I am claiming I do not think she was. And she herself has not used that as an excuse (claims it was ambien).

Anywho, does not matter much, whats done is done, and she revealed what type of person she is, comedian or not.

It does matter. And I'm going to smash the "she wasn't joking" thing.

Maybe the hackiest most established common premise of a joke is two things having a "baby." Nobody ever says "It's like x and y had a baby" while not trying to be funny. And to this, she adds layers of abstraction, that a movie and a religious/political group had a baby. That's so obviously a joke that I'm fucking ashamed of anybody trying to claim it isn't.

It's not a good joke. It was probably a racist joke. It was clumsy and shitty and she knows it was and she apologized.

It was a fucking joke. Told by a veteran, famous comic.

I never thought I'd say this of the right in a situation like this, but this seems like virtue signalling. A good crisp quick win.

The same way you are virtue-signalling for Rosanne.

"Guys I did something unforgivable so do not defend me," she wrote. "It was 2 in the morning and I was Ambien tweeting. It was Memorial Day, too. I went too far and do not want it defended - it was egregious indefensible. I made a mistake I wish I hadn't but…don't defend it please. Thank you."

[ShadowRun]

What about her free speech though? Has ABC thought of that?

 

[2arctanx]

her looks never change for the last 30years she has looked like a fat 65year old woman.

I didn’t find this scene funny at all; but it’s the type of low brow humor that you’re alluding to. The old “like an avacado had sex with an uglier avacado” garbage scene.

Thinking about it, is saying lo brow a slur of sorts too? Low sloping brow? Like a caveman?

I think she was joking but I think she put the nail in the coffin with the Soros stuff. That tweet came after the Jarret tweet.

 

[goldennirvana]

She's gonna be on JRE...

 

[Billy no mates]

Has she actually managed to stay away from twitter or like anyone else that acts the cunt online was she actually back a couple of hours latter ? .

 

[PrinceOfPain]

Hard to call her racist for what appears to be an accurate (if unflattering) observation.
I don't think she's funny, but accurate (if unflattering) observations are kinda what comedy's about.

Terrible correction.

Googled your "Haw Haw" and got nothing but Lord Haw-Haw for results.

Googling "ha ha" actually got me a couple results for Nelson.

It was the style at the time
