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.”

Voting for Trump is the only sensible thing roseanne has ever done it seems...that being said, I would have guessed Valerie was (basically) white person too.

VJ would be quite attractive without the mask-look.


If she were a black widow spider she’d have been mighty successful

Jarret is neither black nor white... nor mammal. She’s a reptile from The Land Before Time.

Funny how the first thing liberals ALWAYS think of when chimpanzees and apes are code for “black people.” Makes one wonder who is really stereotyping.

Like when they had some college student who was trying to get some sleep thrown out of school because he called some rowdy partiers outside his window “water buffaloes.” He was accused of racism because the partiers and the school confused water buffaloes which are Asian for wildebeasts or gnus which are African. He wasn’t the one who stereotyped, they stereotyped themselves.

I have always thought she looks like one of the reptilians they talk about on Coast to Coast.

Funny how the first thing liberals ALWAYS think of when seeing chimpanzees and apes, or people costumed as such, is “black people,” as if primates- which we all are regardless of color- are exclusively “code” for African Americans.

Are orangutans code for “gingers” or “the Irish,” or are they “black” even though they’re orange? I really don’t know.
How about a macaque / snow monkey? If you call someone a macaque, are you insulting white, Japanese, or African Americans? I would have guessed you are insulting white people- macaques even like to do white European things such as hang out in hot springs in the winter with snow on their heads. But I can’t be sure, even though macaques are generally white- skinned, how the term will be interpreted by the virtue-signaling code-breakers. Why? Because one of them discovered that in Belgium the word macaca or anything sounding remotely like it is a racial slur against blacks, and therefore anyone in the US who utters the word [even if they aren’t Belgian] must somehow know they are uttering a racist term.

And be wary of words which sound or look racist, like guerilla. Could be taken for gorilla, which every liberal associates with black people for some reason. Another high risk one is niggardly. Just because you know it has nothing to do with race doesn’t mean others do, and if others think it’s racist then you must be a racist.

How about calling someone a squirrel? What code word is that? It could be a racial epithet against blacks in Liechtenstein.

Yet calling a black person a black panther is OK...go figure.

Perhaps before hurling an insult everyone must consult the Bedwetter Codebook of Racial Epithets and Acceptable PC Insult Alternates.

She IS from Land before Time! I’ve seen her on there! The Valjarettosaur! Called Snaptooth! One snap of her jaw and a country folds in half! I think she is voiced by Reba McIntyre.

I’m struck by the number of similar responses here. I’ve always thought the same.

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.

Apparently, ABC is producing a Roseanne show without Roseanne. Roseanne signed a deal, because she felt so bad about everyone losing their jobs.
