Given the history of such comments, please tell us a more probable way to take it.

Did you read the subsequent posts? Muslim is not a race and Planet of the Apes are not people. They are fictional characters.

Joy Reid said worse. Where is the outrage?

There isn't anything "Racist" about her comments.

Read the damn definition of the word people!

It was a joke anyway. A dig at her (undesirable) foreign parentage and "pedigree" being the worst of the absolute worst cultures that you could possibly mix.
Hardly worth responding to such delusional gibberish ...

recall the flakiest of snowflakes?

Donald Trump Sues Bill Maher for Calling Him the Son of an Orangutan

https://www.forbes.com/sites/frederi.../#6d644438367d

Not to mention the whole birtherism bs.

The false equivalency between Maher's comments and Barr's is truly ludicrous.

Maher, in response to Trump's birther idiocy, made a joke that he would give a One million dollars if some one could prove that Trump wasn't the son of an orangutan. The moron Trump showed his birth certificate and then sued Maher for a million dollars. Trump lost of course. Even Trump wasn't stupid enough to allege it was a "racist" comment.


Barr's comments were clearly racist. Everyone, who is honest with themselves, knew what she meant when she referred to Planet of the Apes.

I have seen a fair number of veterans on here who do not take it that way.

Stop trying to make it into something bigger.
No, they are going to lose their jobs because she acted like a damn fool. Personal responsibility, right? Well, she is the only one responsible for this.

Oh come on.

You must know the history of black people being called monkeys and apes. You have to. I refuse to believe anyone is this uneducated on the topic.

The Planet of the Apes are not real.
