So now a nasty, disgusting remark with apology is worst than raping women!

But Cosby might be a democrat so what else to expect from these networks.

Spending more time with family is what we all should do and stay away from these disgusting networks
Your sources are wrong.....again .

Oh dear -- sorry --

That being said what racist comment has he said anywhere close to what Rosanne tweeted?
I was referring to his having stirred up and persuaded others to be hateful during rallies, with violent, racially-motivated activities having occurred afterward, his promoting white nationalism and making excuses for. He has negatively referred to Hispanics and Muslims. (It is known how his father had taught him early on, not to have blacks as renters).

Besides that, his derogatorily referring to another as "Pocahontas", repeatedly having criticized females' appearances and being misogynistic, mocking a disabled person, etc. His behavior is disgusting and juvenile, getting away with it and never apologizing for. As said, how is it that there are no consequences for him?

To call anyone the c word is the most vile, and disrespectful toward ALL women, INCLUDING black women. Yet where's the outrage. And a women who talks this way about another women just goes to show us how low they think of women. Worse, was to think that her audience thinks (and some do) that it's funny.
Oh, please. Racist epithets are far worse than calling a woman a ****.

How was it "racist"?

I must have missed the part where Roseanne's comment did any of this: 1.
a person who shows or feels discrimination or prejudice against people of other races, or who believes that a particular race is superior to another.

Would make me think one thinks they are one.

Africans have traits that give them an advantage in the tropics. So there will be some phenotypical overlap to other tropical creatures. Europeans are naturally fatter , just like cold water marine life. Don't dare call them blubbery wales or they may start to cry.....

Nothing is solved by this over reaction. The worst thing to do is bleed over it. Ignoring it is the best response.

Her comment was probably mindless and poorly thought out, anyway. Its not the first time. When she spit after singing the national anthem she thought she was acting like a baseball player. Many people though she was spitting on the country. She does stupid things.
So let us hash out/parse your comments.

Are you claiming Roseanne's post was "Racist" too?

But YOUR comment above is not?

How's that work? More of that liberal double standard pretzel logic?

Black people have been compared to apes, including Michele Obama. That is the epitome of racism. This is what Roseanne did. So yes this is racism.

Jarrett looks a little like Dr. Zira, the character on Planet of the Apes (played by white women). Neither Jarrett nor Zira look like black people. Roseanne may have been trying to get a shot in at Jarret, for whatever reason, but it isn't racism. This is just one more instance of the liberal establishment going nuts trying to create racial controversy out of nothing, and looking foolish in the process.

I saw that Griffin is back in action, touring and apparently not so regretful for what was done, initially. She has a lot of supportive fans, apparently.

I cannot help you, then.

You might want to google the history behind comparing African American people to apes.

That'd be a start.
