Comedian Roseanne Barr has apologised for a tweet comparing ex-Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett, who is African American, to an ape.
She sparked an online backlash after she called Mrs Jarrett the child of the Islamist group the Muslim Brotherhood and the Planet of the Apes film.
She deleted the racist post and apologised amid criticism of her and the ABC network, which airs her show.

How about that ValJar looks like the MB cross-bred with a Muppett? Would that be Anti-Public Television and b received with the same level of derision?

Roseanne Barr sorry for comparing Obama aide to ape To be accurate, she's sorry that she might lose her show over the tweet unless she issues an apology.

Seriously wondering...is Roseanne really that dim, did she do it on purpose to engineer a certain outcome, did someone force her to do it to engineer a certain outcome...?

That’s why it was funny.
FWIW, I think Wilem Defoe looks kinda like one of those “light skinned” apes in Planet of the Apes.

The post was in bad taste and she was right to delete it and alologize. Assuming the post was racist and trying to force her to be an outcast seems nastier than the post though.
