Trump’s response to the Roseanne incident betrayed a lack of knowledge about black history

President Trump’s response to the Roseanne Barr controversy this week exemplified a concern many Americans have about him: He does not understand the history of race in America.

Revisionist Black history as redefined by liberals.

Jarrett is not black...

Well, her parents sure were.

Unless Roseanne knew that The Lizard Woman’s COMMIE Father was a Mulatto, how could what she said be called Racist?

I had no idea about her Commie Father being a Mulatto and I think I’m a reasonably informed person.

Of course, anything the POTUS does is treated as a slight against somebody, but these comparisons to Rosanne are the result of twisted Liberal minds.

I still haven’t been able to find the racism in Roseanne’s tweet.

However those attacking her reek of projected racism.

When people’s “blackness” is so diluted out that they are barely darker than an average white person, and they do not have “black” features, I don’t consider them black. Furthermore, when I have to be told someone is black because it is not immediately obvious, I don’t consider them black.

It is hard to know what her actual ancestry is, but I saw a picture of her with her parents. Her mother does not look black, and her father looks like any black ancestry is quite diluted.

I also have black ancestors. You’d never guess by looking at me.

Another black playing the race card.

It’s not that he doesn’t understand that black Democrats are outraged. It’s that he doesn’t CARE about outraged Democrats. That is precisely his strength.

Oh do tell Noble and oh so wise Black man. Tell us about how insulting any dark skinned person automatically makes that person Black. Oh please explain that!

Here’s a news alert for Black reporters...

There are many days I go without actually thinking about black people. Or white people. And certainly not race or race issues.

It’s how I roll. I’m often oblivious to race, don’t care about race, and certainly NEVER dwell on it.

I live in the Deep South, so I see back people and white people all the time, often interacting with each other, and don’t even think about their races!

Sometimes I talk to a black person and don’t even think about them being black!

Perhaps if the black reporters stop thinking about race all freaking day they’ll feel a lot better about themselves.

There is no “Black History”, just as there is no “Social Justice”.

There is history and there is fiction. There is justice and injustice.

All the hand wringing over lynching misses the point. The crime of lynching actually has to do with due process, not whether the lynched party was guilty or Innocent.

In most cases of lynching there was ample evidence that the person executed was indeed guilty of some heinous crime. In fact it was the overwhelming evidence of guilt combined with the heinous nature of the crime that outraged the community to the breaking point of lynching.

It was a different world where people had not yet become numb and accepting of violent crime overwhelming committed by one subgroup within society at large. Violent crime against innocents was dealt with severely, and usually with justice—whether within or without the system.

I suspect, though I haven’t bothered to research it, that Scott supports the Palestinians, who routinely call Jews the descendants of pigs and apes. That probably doesn’t offend him, though.

Who here knew Jarrett was black before this story broke? I didn’t, not that I cared to find out either.

I didn't. I'll add, since seeing a HD close-up of the lizard lady, I'm not convinced of her lineage. I've heard she was born to 2 blacks while in Iran, the fake news being so easily blended with the real, who knows. I suppose there are pics of Ma & Pa but I haven't seen them. Maybe a side by side by side so we see the family resemblance. Do her parents have a Gecko look to them?

Remarkable family resemblance. Both side of her family prominent in black history. Unlike Obama, there are no mysteries about who she really is.

Thanks for that pic. Yes she does show the family resemblance. Is there a polite way to state that the family genetics are ‘fading’? The lady on the right, grandmother to ValJal? Some traits are known to skip a generation or more. As time marches on and the gene pool dilutes with other races some traits die off completely. I don’t know the rest of those pictured with VJ so no disparaging words from me for them but I do know the lizard lady and could not care less about her pigmentation. She spits poison.

The woman on the right is VJ’s mother, Barbara Taylor Bowman. The younger woman to the right of VJ is her daughter, Laura Jarrett.

Their skin tone used to be called ‘high yellow’ among blacks, and was considered a status symbol. Blacks were kind of racist against darker skin tones.

A closeup of VJ and her father (the man in the picture) shows them to look even more alike, with nearly identical mottled complexions.

Misunderstood is that VJ’s Muslim connections come more through her father-in-law, writer Vernon Jarrett. He was pals with Percy Sutton, Khalid al-Mansour, and Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal. Alwaleed financed Obama’s education credentials at the recommendation of Vernon Jarrett.

Vernon Jarrett was also a light-skinned, upper-caste black.
