Racism is only in the eye of the beholder.

1. Valerie Jarret is not a black woman, she is Iranian

2. Jarret looks like the "ape" woman character in the movie

3. Roseanne's accusers assumed she meant "blacks are apes"

and thus made a connection to racism that is not there

UNLESS THEY MAKE THE CONNECTION OF BLACKS TO APES THEMSELVES

Thus, those who say "racist"

are those who connect blacks to apes.

Roseanne did not do this. They did.
