Roseanne

wait, THIS is what has so many people acting all indignant???

These pansies would have been fully traumatized trying to live through the era of my childhood.

How would intelligent people let them get away with trying to tie "race" to this? She gets called out for saying mean stuff but others are allowed to ascribe motives to her without repudiation... Since when did two wrongs make a right? Self-righteous mofos...

At least now I know where the real tragedy lies.

 

Ok. The first thing that came to mind was "well, what connections do you make?". If not race, what is she getting at? The second thing (far less important) was "who is them".

I'm glad that she didn't get away with it and I hope rains on the President's parade. That show was a celebration of Trump's intolerance. I'm glad it's over with.

 

pretty sure she sounds like she's getting at obamacare???

 

That she looks like a freakin' ape, how's that remotely tied to race?
Or Muslim, that's a religion, not a race.
How do you get racist from her comment?

 

then i misunderstood. I thought we were talking about the comments made about Valerie Jarrett.

 

It's commonly accepted sir
I don't have to iron it all out

 

oh, yeah. maybe? i dunno i never heard of her

 

Maybe? I don't know the context. That might shed some light...

 

So no clue. Gotcha. Just go with what somebody else says.

 

She's the woman who Roseanne made off-color comments about.

 

not going there. To spell it out for you is a chore. I think we all understand what a connotation is. The rhetoric is damaging.

 

oh. lol

 

A chore to write one sentence about how you find that racist? Easier to write four proclaiming what great trouble it would be.

 

You're acting like anyone owes you an explanation about why they find something offensive. It's common to find racism offensive. We're the ones asking the questions here.

 

A general description of racism is supposed to explain how a particular person deems a particular statement racist?

 

You're clearly in denial if you can't understand what is racist about Roseanne's comment. I'm sorry if I was rude about it, but I'm really not up for any kind of soliloquy from you or the fucking alt-right about why racism is or isn't a thing. My apologies. Carry on.

 

It's a simple question. You don't owe me or anyone here an explanation of why you find something racist, but you do owe yourself one.

No one asked about why you find it offensive. That's a different question.
