It has nothing to do with race.

Both Roseanne Barr and Bill Maher compared a human to a fictitious ape.

Both comparisons are offensive and ABC has the right to fire their entertainers who make such a comparison.

The apes in planet of the apes had superior intellect to the humans (at least in the original series) and critics rave positively about the downfall of the human race in the new series.

Both Roseanne Barr and Bill Maher compared a human to a fictitious ape. Both comparisons are offensive and ABC has the right to fire their entertainers who make such a comparison.

....and Freepers have compared Jerrold Nadler to Jabba the Hutt, Hillary Clinton to a witch, John Kerry to Lurch. Perhaps those guilty of such an offense should be banned from this website? Your argument is getting weaker, not stronger.

They have the right to but it’s ridiculous Politically Correct nonsense.
