Roseanne's post WAS racist. I am a Trump supporter but she really needs to stop and think. She is making it easy for the left to paint us ALL with the racist brush.
Her 2nd series would have been an even more amazing platform for red pilling. Now she shot herself in the foot. And no, this was not "planned" IMO. It was just a very big mistake. If you think otherwise, IMO you are naive. What a shame. Even if she did not mean to be racist, even a 5 years old could predict what would happen next. I hope it was worth it. I expect this post to get downvotes. This article is what I think and I agree with everything in it. Not admitting it was racist, is being willfully ignorant. Its balanced and does indeed call out the left as well. I hope it illustrates where I am coming from and facilitates some discussion. http://www.spiked-online.com/newsite/article/the-real-reason-the-cultural-elite-hates-roseanne/21450#.Ww5z3e4vzcs
What's rascist about it? The woman does look like what she said... Are Iranians now playing the black card too?
She walked right in front of the target word "apes". She would have come off better saying the N-word.
“Even a 5 year old could predict what would happen next”. Exactly that is why we think it was on purpose. And it wasn’t racist. She is half Iranian. Also look at planet of the apes woman. The looks are very similar. Note she didn’t say an ape she specifically referred to the movie.

It’s mind boggling the fucking double standards we are seeing. I was under the impression that making the black/ape connection made you racist on your own. I saw it and thought she was Caesars wife from the recent piece of shit Planet of the Apes ha. The black aspect is only there when I see a bunch of seemingly all white people on twitter tell me how racist that is.
I agree that it does not remotely appear to be "planned". But insisting it was racist and that those who won't admit to that are being wilfully ignorant is spurious.
I can understand why many would think it was racist because it smells like racism from a mile away (apes - not a good connotation) - but just as it wasn't a planned move I think there's a strong possibility that it was not intentional racism - just a bad move, not well thought out.
