"Some people are racist without even knowing it. Already this morning somebody couldnt connect her tweet about comparing that black lady to an ape to being racist. " heard some really interesting stuff about 'unconscious bias' in the media this week, connected to Starbucks closing all their sites in the USA to do equality training after 2 black guys arrested for fuck all in one of their coffee shops. Made me reflect on what my unconscious biases are... a phrase I'd probably heard before but not really taken much notice of. Roseanne has not been a bit funny for years.  | |||

"What did she do I cant find her quote I would be interested to see what she actually said." I believe she likened Barrack Obama to an ape. | |||

"as falls from grace because of twitter go, that was epic! is it a topic for the lounge, or for the politics? " Didn't realise she was still around til this. I doubt I'm the only one not the least bit surprised she felt confident to voice her opinions. I have noticed over the last couple of years an increase in racist language and casual racism I've not experienced since my childhood in the 60s. Before people think I have a chip on my shoulder my partner is white, one of my son-in=laws is white and I have three mixed race grandchldren. No axe to grind here. | |||

"Some people are racist without even knowing it. Already this morning somebody couldnt connect her tweet about comparing that black lady to an ape to being racist. " As I said I didn't see the racism in the tweet and you have tried to contact me privately ........ I'm asking you outright now and giving you the chance to retract..... Are you calling ME racist? | |||

"No. Im just asking what part you didnt find racist ?" Thank you. I'll take your word for it even though your post above clearly implies that by asking a question I am. That's a good way of co-ercing people into accepting without question isn't it. Pointing a finger , calling names and labelling. What part of what Barr said do you find racist ? | |||

" What part of what Barr said do you find racist ? " There is a long history of white people comparing black people to apes or monkeys. It's a way to dehumanise them and perpetuate stereotypes. It's racist. | |||

You point fingers but say nothing and that is one thing that worries me in anything like this; when those without ideas just join the baying crowd. I didn't like what she said but equally I don't like those that shout hurt just to be in the popular bunch. | |||

"Racism comes in many forms. some are in your face and others more subtle, all of which are wrong. Calling anyone an ape when the basis is skin colour is abhorrent. Of course we have to acknowledge that humans are apes. I would draw your attention to another form of television racism which is based on selective discrimination, take a look at Fresh Prince or Cosby show, both of which are heavily black orientated. I would argue that until we get past colour and accept that skin is nothing more than just skin then we aren't ever going to get anywhere. We all bleed red and we should never forget that."

Fresh Prince and Cosby are perhaps dated examples ? Maybe so but they where hugely influential in there time and Prince is replayed everyday. Im not saying they shouldn't be im just pointing out the bias." I think they were very much a needed influence in their day. They were an antidote to all the white family progs that ignored black people and black culture. Good on those that TOOK the opportunity to give blacks a voice ( of sorts ) That has to happen before we can 'melt' I guess. I think they are dated now tho. | |||

"No. Im just asking what part you didnt find racist ? Thank you. I'll take your word for it even though your post above clearly implies that by asking a question I am. That's a good way of co-ercing people into accepting without question isn't it. Pointing a finger , calling names and labelling. What part of what Barr said do you find racist ? Having read a fair few of your posts on numerous threads I can only come to the conclusion you're a WUM. Not for one minute do I think you're a 63yo woman for a second, you come across as a teenage boy/immature man in most of your posts. Oh and even someone seriously lacking in the IQ dept would lack the awareness that that tweet isn't racist.
...sorry, Granny can hold her own, but I have to say "immature teenage boy" would not e how I'd ever describe Granny.
Cheers Sass.... I think
Granny, I think you hide your light under a bushell, it wouldn't surprise me if you were the smartest amongst us, so to read someone calling you an immature teenaged boy has tickled me no end. "Smartest? Wow you must mix with some right intellectuals.  | |||

Worth pointing out she has also been epically offensive calling a Jewish person a Nazi. She has got away with being offensive for years. It's well documented. the problem is also she has "previous" in this, in that she compared another black lady who was part of the obama administration to an ape.... so its not a new insult she also has "previous" in being anti semetic, and in pushing conspiracy theories Were you impressed with ABC's swift action ? Have to say I was. " As mentioned by Fabio, Rosanne has previous form so I'm not shocked by this brohooha. The Head of ABC entertainment is a black woman, which may sometimes explain the speed. She didn't sign off the show to be made, but two others who had the authority did. Obviously they backed her up when there was a decision to pull it. Let's not forget that ABC is owned by Disney and they might have had a final say in the matter as well. With that in mind, I still can't help thinking that they were looking for half a chance to get rid of her. Apparently ABC were asking her to take down some of her tweets just before and during the first episodes of the season. There is freedom of expression and she exercised that. However there are consequences of that freedom of expression. She paid the price. | |||

If I was a cast member and not working, I'd be pretty pissed off. Her ex husband, Tom Arnold is weighing in too. Apparently he called her out years ago on her racist conspiracy theories and paid the price by being banned from working with ABC. She's toast. It would seem that she wasn't a nice woman, and as the saying goes be nice on your way up. I guess she forgot that. | |||

I normally defend the free speech angle but the joke doesn't actually work on any level that isn't racist. Comedians/Comediennes think they can say anything they want in an attempt at humour, regardless of who they insult or offend. Likening people to animals happens a lot; when it's likening someone to an ape it's racist. Is that because people think apes are ugly or something else? " I believe it's implying that black people are less evolved, but that doesn't work anyway because we did not evolve from apes. It's also racist because of the muslim angle, what does a muslim look like exactly!? They've even got ginger muslims these days. | |||

"I was doubly impressed with Starbucks, tho I don't know what the racism was in that instance. I haven't read it yet. Starbucks had two African-American men arrested while they were waiting for a friend to join them, because they didn't order anything. No other reason. Maybe not Starbucks but somebody who works or was at Starbucks don’t you think? For Starbucks to close so many shops yesterday for training because of this, it suggests that there is a problem across the company. Don't forget that this us the company who, in this country, have refused to serve members of the public wanting to buy food and drink for homeless people, in the midst of the Beast from the East, no less. A company who are all heart. I suggest their actions yesterday were an attempt to salvage their reputation in America. actually i am going to give starbucks a pass here because this incident was part of a few that came out at the same time where there were white people calling police about black people going about their normal lives and they getting a grilling the incident about the black yale student who fell asleep in here common room area whilst studying, and a white student rang to claim shewas trespassing.... the incident where a white person called police after seeing black people coming out of a house with luggage where in fact they had rented the room via airbnb...... the incident where a white person called the police about a black family having a bbq in a park..... so there were a few of these going on at the same time.... which brought the unconcious bias conversation up" These other incidents don't take away from the fact that what happened in Starbucks was racial profiling. | |||

She should get her arsed kicked for sure but to cancel a whole show because of one person's mistake is beyond ridiculous. I think it's shocking x" We talked about this.

Yep, I can see now that it could be misconstrued BUT I said I couldn't see the racism. I never said it wasn't racist. I did ask for an explanation." So there is a historical context where the idea was advanced that black people were more primitive than other races. A lot of people misunderstand evolution and think we evolved from apes. So there's a history of racist jokes likening black people to apes. The planet of the apes is populated by apes and the person is black, so it's hard to know what else that would be a reference to. There are over 1 billion muslims in the world and there is no single look they have. Check out the chinese muslims for more details. Furthermore, the muslim brotherhood is not a national specific organisation so again, it appears to be used as a term for insult. I really can't think of a plausible, non-racist explanation for how that 'joke' works. But I'm open to hear it if you can? | |||

"No. Im just asking what part you didnt find racist ? Thank you. I'll take your word for it even though your post above clearly implies that by asking a question I am. That's a good way of co-ercing people into accepting without question isn't it. Pointing a finger , calling names and labelling. What part of what Barr said do you find racist ? Having read a fair few of your posts on numerous threads I can only come to the conclusion you're a WUM. Not for one minute do I think you're a 63yo woman for a second, you come across as a teenage boy/immature man in most of your posts. Oh and even someone seriously lacking in the IQ dept would lack the awareness that that tweet isn't racist.
So you are saying _ranny-crumpet is a man pretending to be a woman? "I believe she's a actually a crumpet, pretending to be a woman | |||

" . But if you can't see the racism how do you know it wasn't racist? * my head hurts so it could just be me* Nooooooo. Read my wiggly lips ... I never said it wasn't racist I wanted someone to tell me why it was racist.
Truth is i'd heard it constantly referred to as a 'racist comment' but no one saying what the comment was or why it was racist.
Paracetamol ?
"It hasn't got any easier to figure out as your first post was demanding the man admit to calling you racist because you didn't think it was a racist tweet...it still reads that way to me, so I think I may need more than paracetamol . I think you are just too clever for me Gwanny | |||

"I didnt call anyone a racist. I just could not understand why Granny could not see Barrs tweet as racist. That was all. I certainly didnt want an argument about some over paid overated bigot." Nothing good has come out of this or will. | |||

"Is it racist to call a white person an ape? If not, why not? What's wrong with apes I want to know? Only white ape I know is Jeremy Clarkson.. boom! What about Boris? He’s not very intelligent "What utter nonsense ! How can anyone who comes out with a phrase like ‘ tank topped bum boys ‘ , to describe gay men not be intelligent | |||

"Some people are racist without even knowing it. Already this morning somebody couldnt connect her tweet about comparing that black lady to an ape to being racist. heard some really interesting stuff about 'unconscious bias' in the media this week, connected to Starbucks closing all their sites in the USA to do equality training after 2 black guys arrested for fuck all in one of their coffee shops. Made me reflect on what my unconscious biases are... a phrase I'd probably heard before but not really taken much notice of. Roseanne has not been a bit funny for years. "No unconscious bias, Never found her funny just loud She has been a right winger and trump supporter for a long time I find it ironic that her little brain has suggested an ex president should not dabble in show biz. Yet seems perfectly comfortable that show biz people can be president , i.e. trump is and she want to be She is just a brash not nice person, but she does support the moron president fart | |||
