All of these are valid concerns, but that doesn’t change the fact that FAR-LEFT Roseanne did something stupid. Calling black people apes is extremely bad taste and shouldn’t be something that is defended. Sometimes things just are like they are. Mean spirited jokes about blacks being apes are not okay. Jokes about Jews and gas are not okay. Then again jokes about the Irish and potato are acceptable, but mean jokes about Bobby Sands and cheesburgers are very bad taste. She was pretty f-ing dumb to do that.

I read the tweet, I don’t see where she called a black person an ape. And I’d be the last person to defend Roseanne Barr because I liked her. There won’t be equality until she can say what she said, the same as the left called President Bush “McChimpy Hitler” or some such, for more than eight years.

>> Jokes about Jews and gas are not okay.

Rosanne’s gone there before in print, too.

And no, I don’t find Rosanne funny and her tweet was just plain dumb.
