Pointless racist tweet cancels a show
| >super popular star
>Use your brain
Pick one.
| can you call it racist one more time. i need to be certain that im allowed to be outraged
| How is this racist? Do people automatically associate apes with black people? Sounds like the people getting upset are the real racists.
| >>300680 usually people don't like to be called animals, it's like being called inferior than other humans, are you gonna tell me that that's not racist?
| I want to know. Was the person she was making fun of offended?
| Yeah that's the shit that annoys me. They don't even wait for the target of the joke to say anything.
Then even if they do everybody either ignores them or tries to speak for them. Not to say that it isn't racist, just seen this dance so many times now.
| >>300865 >>301121 they don't need to, if someone were to call your sister a inbred they are insulting her and your family, if I were to call a American a gun loving, war monger, racist idiot, I would be insulting all of America.
When someone call someone "planet of the apes" they are insulting them and anyone who is related to them by looks.
Plus you could argue that she insulted the Muslim population too, that like half of the world insulted in a single tweet
| >>300860
What does it have to do with racism? Do you know what the term means or are you so well-trained that you just accept it without thinking? Fucking brainlets need to go. Also Islam isn't a race you absolute retards.
| >>c5522a wtf is this extended family shit, that's the same logic as racists.
Also again, the person in question and their reaction should matter.
| I don't care if the person was offended or not. I'm an actual piece of shit IRL, so I need to take advantage of other people in order to feel like a good person. Can we call it racist 10 more times?
| Interesting. Didn't Rosseanne Barr used to be a democrat? Also it seems more about the fact that she directed her racism towards the president than just her racism in general.
I wonder what changed. The money? The fame? Drug use? Even if she legitimately changed her opinions to reflect a more conservative position it's strange she was dumb enough to air an opinion like that on her public twitter.
| >>301288
well, she is a Terf, if that adds some context.
>>300680
You have to be either the most cultural illiterate fuck or dumbest troll I've seen as there has been a long history of racists comparing Black people to apes, monkeys, etc. so if her dumbass decided to do the same, people are going to see her as racist.
| >>301138 I don't get the whole "Islam isn't a race" argument when justifying discrimination against Muslims, because at the end of the day it's still ignorant bigotry based off the assumption that all Muslims are the same.
| Oh no another comedian's rude joke bombed on Twitter and cost her a job. Why the fuck are you embracing it like a political statement your entire fragile identity depends on?
| >>301377
Because words have meanings and just because you love to use the word "racism" as a bludgeon to win an argument doesn't mean it stops having a precise meaning which does not apply to Muslims. Being critical of Islam is the same as being critical of Christianity because they are both religions.
| >>300392
>But how can you be a superpopular star and not use your brain when making statements on this shitty twatter.
Same way the rest of don't use our brains and say retarded shit on the internet. She's just another nobody trying to be funny. You can't shove a salad into your mouth to make yourself shut up on the internet. That only works in real life and never for Roseanne. Fat bitch needs to eat a vegetable.
| You're all a bunch of sensitive pussies.
| >>301138 racism is the belief of superiority towards a race, Wich lead to hatred, discrimination and prejudice toward it. Key word here it's hatred Wich lead to insulting others, just exactly what this thread is about.
Muslim aren't a race but a insult it's still a insult, I admit that I went a little overboard by bringing them in but they still are mentioned equal to apes in the tweet therefore insulting them
| >>301400
How can you say that I do use racism in reference to discrimination against Muslims, because if you had actually read what I wrote, you would see not a case for saying Islamophobia=racism, but instead discrimination
against a people group because they are a people group is bad, and that "Islam isn't a race" or any type similar derailment seeks only detract from the real issue of discrimination.
| >>301486
Also being critical implies real, substantive critique or criticism and not "IsLam BAd" or "MOdSlIms eVAl".
But then again they probably look the same to you, as you can't even tell racism when it's in front of your fucking face.
| >>301459
But it isn't racism. Ideas and beliefs are not exempt from criticism as they are choices, unlike race. Fuck off pussy.
| >>301539
True, nothing is immune to criticism, but, I ask that you point me to something critical and not bigoted in Roseanne's statement. If you can't, I ask that you fuck off.
| >>301539 her belief is that she is superior to Afro-Americans, also she never give any criticism, she just flat out called them apes.
A criticism is saying that vj didn't do well in her job, a insult is calling her a ape.
| Just fucking kill Twitter. It's just a hugbox for celebs. She should be posting here instead.
| Gotta love it that she blamed Ambien, with Ambien making a statement that it has side effects, but racism isn't one of them lolol
| Social Media was a mistake
| Weird how you guys all immediately jump to her defense.
| >>301750
Why does anyone want this? It doesn't matter how racist you are, that doesn't mean you have to jump to the defense of every piece of unfunny brainless shit on the internet. An entertainer failed to be entertaining and you're all for it. Calm the fuck down and stop defending incompetence!
| I hope everyone's lives get ruined by social media. The only way to stop a witch hunt is to accuse the ones conducting it of being witches.
| Fuck this is hilarious. People lost their jobs and can't sue because the producers are calling the tweet an act of god. Lololololol ROSANNE BARR IS NOT A GOD
| Oh and one more thing: This one joke was not the momentary fuck up I thought it was, it was par for the whacktard course. I bet she posts on /pol/ all the time and believes all of it. Here:

| >>301560
Pretty sure "bigoted" is not the right term here either. But there you go again, throwing loaded words around like a good little warrior of social justice.
Her tweet was mean. Get over yourself.
| >>301561
Nothing she said mentioned blacks. It is only your own racist little mind that associated blacks with apes. Despicable.
| >>302259 this must have been pretty embarrassing for the people who defended her conspiritard tweets to the network.
| >>302270 lol it's not associatoon. racists have been comparing black people to apes for years now. don't act surprised at how people get so wary of the term.

Congratulations to the idiot who could not think twice before tweeting a dumb unfunny joke to the world.
I really don't care if she meant it or not. Racism is a paranoic issue in US tbh. But how can you be a superpopular star and not use your brain when making statements on this shitty twatter.
