I defend all under assaults from the PC police. Roseanne is not racist. I’ll defend Roseanne just as I defended Bill Maher for his indiscretions. One, must look at context and source before passing judgement. She shouldn’t even apologize...

Under what context does comparing a highly successful, extensively educated, enormously intelligent black women to an ape not require an apology, especially when you were called out on doing the same thing to another black women not too long ago?
-
The source, by the way, was her own Twitter feed.
-
The source was Rosanne Bar and she’s not a racist. If Hillary Clinton said it, it would be racist, because HRC is a “Super Racist”.

Ah, so this isn't about defending her freedom of speech so much as it is pushing a particular agenda. Understood. Enjoy your day!

Comparing a black woman to an ape isn't just an insult to the woman and to black people. It's a lazy, unoriginal, uncreative stereotype that goes back to the 19th century, and it's an insult to comedy and to comedians who actually put effort into their material.

You want funny material on race? Dave Chappelle. Chris Rock. Louis CK before he couldn't keep his hands out of his pants. Gilbert Gottfried on occasion. Paul Mooney. Greg Giraldo. Lisa Lampenelli.

There’s a legitimate similarity tho, I don’t understand the immediate jumps to cry “racism.” I saw the comparison and thought it was her face superimposed or photoshopped onto a character, but it wasn’t. They look alike.

Wouldn’t defend but don’t you think it’s weird that she would compromise the future of the Costars and staff? Also didn’t realize that the season is over! So she waited until now on purpose? Is she crazy or crazy like a FOX?
