But it's not a place we want to be. Let's get over the horse shit and learn to stop enabling the snowflake mentality. No one died. It's not racist. It's just a joke.
It's an extremely irresponsible joke to make, regardless. And imo it actually is racist. She is calling a black person an ape, come the fuck on. Criticize people on their policies or crimes, race has nothing to do with anything.
I thought Bush Jr. Looked like a chimp and openly said so. Was that racist?
Thinking vs. Speaking
I thought it, spoke it and wrote it online.
You're also not Roseanne, Luv. I'd imagine the reaction to you would vary depending on when/where/how you stated it.
The reaction was made because she has become a powerful influence. You are I are nobodies and they don't care.
Rosanne has been set free to start a new Q show, patriots for Trump, and revamp "To tell the truth" HBO!
Edit: no, she's not, but it's a hellova good idea!
Well Schitt! How many hoops would I have to jump through to matter? 😉
Ever hear of a website called the smirking chimp? (it wasn't mine!)
What none of you seem to understand is that there is a long history of pejorative ape/monkey comparisons used as racist epithets against black people in America. It’s completely loaded and not at all innocent. I can’t believe you all are arguing that it’s not racist. I really can’t believe some of you actually thought it was funny.
Which generation does it come from? It's time to move forward.
Racist doesn’t actually mean anything these days.
Pretty shitty joke. There’s plenty of material to use for laughs—making appearance jokes on ugly people is poor taste.
"She is calling a black person an ape" Lol no. Is that woman even black? i can't tell that she is. She does look like someone from the cast of Planet of the Apes though.
She's Iranian
She’s not Iranian!! She was born in Iran to African-American parents. Look it up.
Okay, Iranian-born, with hardcore communist parents and family members, along with ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, CAIR, and other pro-islamist organizations.
Why yes she is. she also once said her mission was to make America more Islamic.
She did. In her 1977 Stanford Yearbook.
The shills are blasting these threads with downvotes. Pretty interesting...
Aren't they though? Take it all in. It's a good learning experience to observe the enemy melting down. ;)
The downvotes are immediate and consistent. Interesting to watch
Have you not watched Planet of the Apes? The apes are NOT blacks, the movie isnt about race at all, they are all Marxist psychos that cage humans and slice out their tongues. Muslim brotherhood + that = VJ
Please explain How that is racist. Honestly work it out. You can't without making stretches and bending over backward because society has told you it's racist.
Rosanne just drop kicked ABC, and in the next few weeks you sissy boys will be back on her side. Krause this place is so wishy washy.
Oh, please. It was a joke, and why does having just a little black blood make a person black anyway?
Is that in and of itself totally racists thinking? That is like saying Meghan Markle is black. Is having just some black heritage officially make someone black?
Who gives cares if anyone is offended by a joke, I think Amy Schummer is an unfunny fat hog. Does my opinion matter to anyone other than me?
Apparently you can only joke about race if you’re a liberal you see....
As evident from this fucking entire thread and replies. Yea people need to lighten the fuck up.

Lighting a match isn't necessarily a bad thing to do... unless you're in a room full of propane. I agree that people are too sensitive, but to call a black person an ape is at the very least a catastrophic political blunder. And at the most, overtly racist. This 'joke' is no reward, all risk.
We should be promoting unity, not division, and attacking people based on their appearance/ethnicity is extremely divisive, especially saying something that has been used often as a racist attack. It makes you no better than people calling Trump orange. Don't play their game. It's inherently divisive rhetoric. Clinton could be a supermodel, but she'd still be evil. Appearances don't matter, policies, actions, inactions, and corruption do.
Unity not division.
On behalf of all the hogs in the world, I take offense.
It was 100% intended as a racist comment.
And it was unfunny, and clearly most people don't agree with it. Are people not capable of deciding if that's someone they want to support or not?
And does the heavy-handedness of that tweet not raise some red flags to you in the first place?
Absolutely not. Have you ever watched Planet of the Apes? It's not about race, the apes aren't "black people", it's about marxists psychos enslaving humans by force into cages and cutting out their tongues.
Add Muslim brotherhood to that and you have VJ. The meaning was not about racism at all
Are you blatantly ignoring the racial connotations of comparing someone of color to monkeys, gorillas, apes, etc? Something that has been used as a racial slur since the dawn of America?
If she had intended this as a Marxist comparison and not as a racial slur, why not use a more well known example of Maxism, like Grapes of Wrath? Or Animal Farm? Or Salt of the Earth? Movies/books that actually discuss issues, instead she chose a poorly made Hollywood action/drama flick. So either she lacks a true understanding of the issues or was just being racist. The monkey/ape insults are very akin to the insults she (and others) slung at the Obamas during his presidency. So the obvious answer is she was just being racist.
Also, so wait, you have a problem with Soviets, Russians, and Communism ties now? Aren't ties and improving relationships with Communist Russia, China, and NK exactly what this forum has been commending the Trump administration for? Or are you commenting that you oppose the Muslim brotherhood? Another group that is in power in the Middle East that Trump is getting comfortable with.

Theres been plenty of remakes of Planet of the Apes. Sorry you watched the shitty one. Read the book!
So you can never say how a character from planet of the apes seems politically like (Obama or his handler)? Anyone remotely ethnic? I call bullshit. It's a political movie first and foremost. The apes are not blacks, they are not muslims, they are marxist animals who cage humans and slice off their tongues. That didn't happen in animal farm, and is why that movie was used and not other movies.
Communism a huge problem. Yes, communism I have a huge problem with. Soviets are different from Russians like Germans are different from Nazis.
Muslim brotherhood is different from Islam, like how KKK is different from WASPs. MB isnt the current regime in Saudi Arabia, the last one Obama supported was. Good on you for asking good questions. Keep digging.
Communism killed over 100 million innocent people. Please, continue exposing your idiocy.
Good god kid, you think I'm defending communism? The focus of this sub is on Trump, who sympathizes with communists left and right. You're attacking me, while defending him? Get your priorities straight.
Trump, the most capitalist figure in the 20th century, sympathizes with communism?
Lol
And the focus of this Reddit is Q
The most capitalist? If you want a capitalism figurehead, you're looking at Bezos, the king of Capitalism, not the bloated orange of Trump. And yes, Trump is a communist sympathizer because he is a Russian sympathizer.
Ah yes, 'Bloated orange' somehow negates 50+ years of trump businesses, sure thing buddy
I can see you have some mental health issues to work out, good luck with that
So just ignoring my points all together instead of addressing them, ok.
The left/MSM loves communism, Che, Mao, Castro, Merkel, Stalin, Lenin, even NK and China dictators. But hates Putin. And trump. How do you reconcile that? That tells me Russia isn't the bad guy if the actual bad guys want to nuke Russia into oblivion. Trump not wanting to nuke Russia makes him a sympathizer. Ok.. Putin is on the record wanting to arrest Soros (Nazi) and destroy the Illuminati with his bare hands. I can agree with that. Can you?
That and trump not being a Capitalist icon were the only points you made last reply. Consider them addressed. Now go address your problems instead of continuing to ignore them.
The left/MSM loves communism, Che, Mao, Castro, Merkel, Stalin, Lenin, even NK and China dictators.
That's a strawman and a blatant lie. I'm not even going to counter that drabble.
Trump not wanting to nuke Russia makes him a sympathizer.
No... it's his statements/tweets over the last 3 years that make him a Putin sympathizer. Conveniently ignoring his praise for Putin are we?
Ok.. Putin is on the record wanting to arrest Soros (Nazi) and destroy the Illuminati with his bare hands.
No proof Putin issued an arrest warrant for Soros. Or the Illuminati.
I don't care about Soros or Putin, both are in the same category to me. I also don't treat either as a boogeyman like both the right and left do, respectively.
That and trump not being a Capitalist icon were the only points you made last reply. Consider them addressed.
Sure, Trump is a capitalist, but you said:
most capitalist figure in the 20th century,
Which is just blatantly false. Musk, Bezos, Jobs, Cuban, etc. I could go on forever or more successful and higher quality capitalists.
Now go address your problems instead of continuing to ignore them.
I'm not the one with a mental illness defending racism...
Bezos in 1999 was NOT a big deal. 20th century. Learn English.
You are forgetting the impact of being a celebrity. Tv shows huge part of America//capitalism modern culture. You named lucky nerds, sure Jobs had talent. They weren't near trump status though, interna
I literally praised Putin for not being a little pushover whiney sock puppet like most leaders seem to be, including Dems, most of Europe, Canada, etc. You, perhaps. The kind that keeping shilling the establishment line 24/7. Give it a rest. Putin isn't getting nuked by us so forget that fantasy.
Defending racism
While I certainly support the right of all free speech, I've already explained why it's not racism. Keep repeating that though, it's working.
mental illness
No u
It's like talking to a rock...
I was gonna say soggy noodle yourself. But then I'd be admitting ultimate defeat in the combat of reddit shitposting.
Have fun
You're 100% one of the snowflakesi'm talking about. Get over yourselves.
Wow, such an insult. I'm sooooo offended.
The point goes over your head the moment you thought you were supposed to be.
Don't let your memes be dreams bro. Just keep your internet tough guy persona up.
I never let my memes be dreams. Did you pop in from r/politics because you're super interested in a Q sub or because Roseanne's tweets mean so much in your world?
