        Valerie Jarrett is no patriot. In 1977 in a Stanford publication VJ stated she was both an Iranian and American citizen and a Muslim, her life was her religion and her goal was to bring Islam to America. #MuslimBrotherhoodpic.twitter.com/Cw7rOxaVc1

        Except when someone is born with color & the other person applies it. Not so funny fact if skin color could be washed off then slaves could have just walked away. But MAGA stupidity is acquired not a genetic trait. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-social-thinker/201805/what-s-so-wrong-about-comparing-black-woman-ape?amp …pic.twitter.com/92WT5xmDi9

        Don't you get that no one is saying her tweet wasn't awful but you cant condemn one and not the others, her comment wasn't on tv on a network. It's the hipocracy of the left. Free speech bad or good only applies to you if you aren't a conservative.

        1.Feckless C*nt is at best poor taste in language. But doesn’t begin to come close to a racial slur. The racial slur was used against a person that wasn’t engaged in anyway with Roseanne. Samantha Bee’s commentary was directed at an administration official who says nothing

        Roseanne didn't know she was black when she made that comment in the first place. She's Iranian

        POC.. Doesn’t matter the shade. It’s a horrible racist joke. Roseanne has admitted it. You making excuses doesn’t do anything to help. All of the Roseanne apologists should be mad at Roseanne. Rich, powerful had a platform to speak for your side. She threw it all away for racism.

        You're a tool, it's OK for you to call a white person Orangutan but a white person call a black person ape is racist? You're both comedians who make jokes about people but you think it's only funny when you do it. Double standards for sure. You think it's racist, look in mirror.

        Yes because there is a deep rooted history of white people and orangutas... 😒 It's exactly the same 🙄

        It autocorrected the n out of orangutans... Although based on previous comment that should be obvious...

        Wanda can you explain to your followers the difference between what @therealroseanne tweeted and when you went on camera and called the President an orangutan?

        Because @therealroseanne comment was about race. @iamwandasykes comment was about trump’s vanity and obsession with tanning salons. Do you really need it explained to you? Smh.

        I didn't think the tweet had anything to do with the lady being African American, it was her politics. They had Orange or white apes on that show too. If you see the actual show you can see the political parallel.

        Cynthia, African Americans have been compared to apes and monkeys for the last 250 years. It has become pejorative and it's one of those things you just don't do. Don't you remember when the Obama haters created memes with the White House being turned into a KFC? Same thing.

        If you want to continue to debate this please proceed by all means. I find Wanda Sykes to have been equally offensive. If others don't see it or want to defend her by saying one comment was less offensive than the other then you're likely a hard liner that is closed minded.
