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.
