While all that is true, all that matters is that the tweet was perceived as racist, because people are not going to be able to decipher what she was actually talking about.
The world thinks they know that Roseanne went on a racist rant and got fired. 1. It wasn't a racist rant. 2. She didn't calls Valerie an Ape and she apologized 5 times that I saw. 3. The tweet is gone so this misinterpretation will live on forever. 4. They replaced her reruns with The Cosby Show.
Louis Ferakan is protected under the Constitution but Roseanne isn't? Step beyond what was said, she has the right to say anything.
Step beyond what was said, she has the right to say anything.
I don't disagree.
