Roseanne Barr says she ‘thought Valerie Jarrett was white,’ claims her vote for Trump doomed show

Roseanne Barr once again attempted to tell her side of the story about her controversial Valerie Jarret tweet, maintaining that she thought Jarrett “was white” and claimed her namesake show was canceled because she “voted for Donald Trump.”

Barr’s explanation came in the form of a video on her YouTube page, introducing viewers to her “own studio” where she said she can talk to the public “without the filter of the biased media.”

She recalled getting a phone call from ABC, in which she said she was asked “to explain my ‘egregious and unforgivable tweet,’” referring to her racially charged May post in which she said Jarrett, who is African-American and born in Iran, was like the “muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby.”

It doesn’t matter what Roseanne thought.

If you are a liberal PC darling, you can say any damn thing you want. And if you are are called on it, you can just say that you have “evolved”. Then all is forgiven.

Example:
Hillary Clinton said in 2000 that she believed marriage was “always between a man and a woman.” But Hillary is a liberal PC darling. So she has evolved. The gays love her.

But if you are not a liberal PC darling, then every last thing you said will be held against you. Even if it was an innocent remark made 50 years ago.

There was an article posted here on FR within the last week that gave her 23 & Me or similar gene test results as 54% white, 41% black, and 5% Native American (or thereabouts).

People are people. I believe profoundly in the power of Culture. I don’t believe in ‘race’.

Valerie Jarrett IS an African American woman. The record seems to also show that she comes from a family steeped in Socialist/Communist thinking. The latter is what matters.

I think Rosanne was punished because ValJar is best buds of the Obamas. She complained, then they complained, and then the Networks complied to the wishes of their little gods.

All the main character apes in Planet of the Apes were white in color.

Yeah, like the 9th circuit judge candidate that was pulled for what he wrote as an assignment in college.

She does look something like Helena Bonham Carter playing Ari the chimpanzee in the Planet of the Apes remake. Helena Bonham Carter is white, of course. It’s the narrow nose, the delicate features, and the rather mask-like appearance.

VJ would be quite attractive without the mask-look.

Not a Roseanne fan but I didn’t know ValJar was black either. I thought she was Iranian.

I thought she’s a lizard person.

I thought freepers were calling her an albino tree frog, LOL, always hanging on to one of the Obamas.
I’d bet my last dollar Michelle or Barack called ABC and demanded she be fired.

Doesn’t she own the show? Why not just see if another network will pick it up?
