I had a little mental exercise in regards to some recent current events. Check it out.
1. The hit 90's family sitcom Roseanne got picked up by abc to run a new season. The star of the show, Roseanne Barr, known for making tweets supporting Donald Trump and parroting conspiracy theories related to the democratic party just had her show canned after she made a tweet comparing Valerie Jarret to planet of the apes. She's being called a racist and abc took a bit of heat for "supporting a racist" by producing the show, so they pulled the plug on the whole thing.
2. The NFL declared a new policy last week that football teams can be fined for kneeling or taking a knee during the national anthem. The action of taking a knee is meant to take a stand against racial injustice in the United States in the face of the American flag, which has flared up a whole bunch of controversy.
Actors/actresses and professional athletes are entertainers. In one instance, we have a person paying penalties in their career for making a racist statement, and in another, we have a person paying penalties in their career for standing up against racism. We always want to know what's on our celebrities' minds, but then we fire them when its too much information. I'm not sure what's more important. That our nation's loudest voices say what they really care about and let the people decide where their loyalty lies, or that they keep their mouths shut about what's really on their mind so we can all pretend they are who we believe them to be.

How does likening a black woman to an ape have anything to do with the NFL issue? You're reaching bro.

Black woman? Do all dark-skinned humans look black to you? She's Persian with "African" parents. Also, she didn't get the can because she bad mouthed Valerie Jarret but our lord and savour George Soros.

You're splitting hairs. She is light skinned, but is clearly of African-American descent. She's Persian by fact of geography of birth. I assumed that you'd be above politcial correctness but whatever. Valerie Jarrett is quite a fine looking lady regardless of background, and no one deserves their name in Roseanne's mouth no matter what she is saying about them.

I'm not, she is the cross between the Muslim Brotherhood and the Planet of the Apes. ****** and no one deserves their name in Roseanne's mouth no matter what she is saying about them. There's your bias speaking. -edited by moderator-

No that's me speaking. Also you're as funny as Roseanne, meaning you've never been funny.
I've always wanted to know bro, do you Doom or just talk shit? I mean, I can understand talking shit and Dooming, but what do you get out of coming to Doom sites and talking shit?

I'm not trying to be funny, Valerie Jarret should be lynched or stoned to death, which ever is culturally appropriate. Hopefully along with Hillary and Obama. I've always wanted to know bro, do you Doom or just talk shit? I mean, I can understand talking shit and Dooming, but what do you get out of coming to Doom sites and talking shit? Shit posting? I've never been more serious in my life. And yeah, bra, I do lift.

Donuts to mouth don't count. We should lynch cunts like you for the added fuel to the fire that this is the racist board, and with posts like yours it's pretty hard to defend. Let's take dn for example: clearly he just plain doesn't give a fuck and nothing is off limits in his wonderful offensiveness. You actually appear to be a dumb fucking racist cunt. So fuck off with that shit.

I am unfamiliar with the woman that Roseanne compared to a planet of the apes character...but objectively speaking, does the person bare any kind of physical similarities to the character? I mean, I don't think anybody ever batted an eyelash when people told me in high school that I looked like Andy Milinakis.

Google her and draw your own conclusion. I had to as I've never heard of her before this incident. Regarding this Andy character you've been compared to (that I also had to google to see what you look like, ha): people compare people to other people all the time, but usually not apes. And when Roseanne does it's not out of innocence or ignorance. She has been around and is a cunning old cunt. Call a cunt a cunt by all means, and this Valerie Jarrett could very well be one or not. I don't know, nor give two fucks. That ape comparison shit is pretty much indefensible.

Has it not occurred to anyone that the character she was compared to doesn't even look like a real ape? Knowing this, you can't possibly claim that she was being compared to an actual ape. She was being compared to a fictional character that had more human features than ape features, if you ask me.

In a vacuum your words have good intent. With the weight of history, your words are naive. Personally I don't think she looks like one of those characters. If I wanted to be unsavoury there are worse things I could physically compare her to. I could compare you to a bunch of unflattering things based on your size alone. You just don't compare an African American descended person to an ape, fictional or non-fictional. Try it in real life, on the southside of Chicago. Be sure to mention you're comparing them to a character from Planet of the Apes and not an actual ape. That will make all the difference.

I am not disagreeing with you at all. If I did that, I likely would receive great bodily harm. Anybody with half a mind can grasp that. But just because a reaction is expected, does that mean it's warranted? If you compared me to say, an elephant (based on my size), would it be fair of me to beat the shit out of you? Would anybody say "Ol' Glen had it coming to him for making a fat joke"? I don't think so. I think people would say that you probably shouldn't have said it, but ultimately that I overreacted. Price of not being a member of a protected class. Fortunately, I don't think you'd be tbe type to insult somebody like that for no reason (as Roseanne did), nor would I be the kind of person to give a shit if you did.

I think Roseanne knew that the ape comparison would please her racist fans and the whole "I'm just talking about the smart apes from Planet of the Apes! No racism, I swear!" angle was just her plausible deniability. The tweet backfired bigtime, there's a whole host of shit she could have tweeted to placate her dumb fans without fucking herself in the process. She's been around long enough and should have known better. Now, to be clear here, I don't think an unsavory remark should warrant being fired, but what should be true and what is true are not the same and any functional person should realize that. She has enough money and enough braindead supporters that I shouldn't pretend to give a single fuck, but what can I say, I like to play devil's advocate. She's going to be fine. If a significantly poorer person working a mimimum wage job had their employment revoked for a one-off fucked up remark, I'd feel quite differently. Of course a business has a right to employ and fire whoever they like, but the concept of getting fucked over for being a bit of a dumbass and having a lapse of judgement does not sit well with me, admittedly. I keep myself out of that potential firing range by not being a racist dumbfuck and I urge others to do the same, because again, what should be true and what is true are certainly not one and the same.
EDIT: I almost forgot to mention the NFL shit because it seems like a kinda distant topic. There are 10000x more effective ways to protest racism and classism than kneeling during the anthem (especially when you're making a fucking absurd amount of money per game.. kinda cheapens the protest) but I think giving in-game penalties to teams for doing so is beyond retarded. No penalties should be given for kneeling.

I wouldn't use a fat joke, that's cheap and I've been with a larger girl before, so what can I say?. I'd say something along the lines that you're overgrown and that it must've taken a lot of bullshit for you to sprout that tall. Or how's the air up there. Or enquire if you are gainfully employed as an ear cleaner for giraffes. You see tall jokes is where it's at, bit I digress.
Instead of continuing to chew the fat some more, I'll try to get back to the original post in this lovely thread. As an Aussie I don't understand what the deal about NFL players kneeling during the anthem is all about. Can a yank explain?
Fuck it, too slow, not relevant, Doomkid's provided my answer already. And a fine answer it was. Is this thread over yet?

They should have kept the show going but there should have been a Roseanne episode where, like gay and trans people coming out of the closet to their parents, siblings, and partners, Roseanne has her kids sit down at the kitchen table with a 'coming out' story of her own.
Roseanne: Kids, I have something very important to tell you, and before I do, I want you to know that I will always love you no matter what. This is something that I've been keeping to myself for many years and I just can't hold it in any longer. Have a seat.
DJ: It's ok mom, you can tell us. We always support you 100%
*DJ, Darlene, and Becky sit at the dinner table*
Roseanne: Ok...
*teardrop*
Roseanne: This is something I've kept to myself for many years, and it's not fair to me not to say something about it, and it's not fair to you for me to be keeping it from you. It's very personal to me, and this might come as a bit of a shock to you, but I need to you to trust me and keep an open-mind when I tell you this...
*takes a deep breath*
Roseanne: I'm racist.
*crickets*
Darlene: What...? You're racist?
Becky: Are you serious?
Roseanne: Yes.
Darlene: Well... can you not?
Roseanne: It's not a choice. I've had prejudice for as long as I can remember.
Becky: Wait wait wait, what about when you tipped our black waitress when we were at IHOP this morning?
Roseanne: Even then.
Jackie: Come on, I mean, you had to have known a little, right? You've seen what she tweets.
Darlene: This doesn't make any sense, what do you expect me to do about this??
Roseanne: Nothing, I just want you to accept me for who I am.
Becky: You've got to be fucking kidding me! You're racist. I can't let you watch my kids!
Roseanne: Now look, I'm not a monster, I just don't like black people.
Darlene: No, you're a goddamn monster, you're what's wrong with this whole family! This is insane how do you expect us to deal with this now? I don't even know if I can be around you anymore.
Roseanne: Hold on, I'm just being honest with you. This is who I've always been, and even still, I'm still your mother and I always will be.
DJ: I don't know, mom. This is really crazy.
Roseanne: I know this is a hard pill to swallow. It's ok if you need some time. But I'm not changing. This is who I've always been.
Darlene: Fuck this shit, I'm out of here. I don't care what you say. You are NOT my mother!
*Darlene exits*
DJ: Have you tried getting to know Jaleel from the shoe store? He's a really nice guy.
Roseanne: DJ, this is who I am. I'm not changing. I'll never like black people.
Becky: Mom, I really think you need to work on this. This isn't ok, you can't just hate an entire race, this isn't the 50's anymore. Times have changed.
Roseanne: YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT THEY'VE CHANGED. THINGS ARE WORSE THAN THEY'VE EVER BEEN. THE DAMN MUSLIMS ARE CREEPING INTO OUR WHITE HOUSE AND ITS ALL BECAUSE OF OUR NATION'S SENSITIVITY TO RACE.
Becky: I can't deal with this, this is crazy, I have to go.
*Becky exits*
Roseanne: You must understand, right DJ?
DJ: I really don't know, mom. I have to think about this. I-- I don't know...
*DJ exits*
Jackie: Well well well, that was about as well as it could possibly have went!
Roseanne: *rolls eyes*
*laugh track*

I think your plot could have taken a more cynical route...when she admits to being racist and the kids freak out, she just does her Roseanne laugh until the scene fades out.

Oh my, an off color joke...on TWITTER!!?? That leaves only one recourse, destroy her career. Refuse all apologies. Refuse the explanation that she thought this chick was white (because saying racist things about whitey is still OK). Wipe out her past, take the old show off syndication. In fact, fuel up the nearest rocket and fire her off to an uninhabited asteroid where her evil, vile science-fictional ape comparisons will no longer murder the precious innocence of black people everywhere. That's what we do in 2018, we rule by mob mentality, crucify those in an instant over words, and erase them from the annals of history.

Do you even realize what you're saying and what you come off as? Yeah, someone who hates both warmongers and supporters of Islamic extremists. She was the one to who gave the stand-down order at Benghazi leading to the complete fall and chaos of Libya, which then opened the boarders to Europes economic migrant crisis. No, she doesn't get any sympathy from me. She was an informed pawn to further destroy the Muslim world and bring it's burdens on us.
