Fuck anyone who ever works with her again. And her, of course.

1. Yep. Exact same rote "apology" as cover.

2. She will never "know better" since she apparently knows she is racist

and plans on staying this way. Actions...NOT words!

3. Glad they confirmed she's a repeat offender. And

one of the comments is right on about racist RWers: They have a pattern of trying to de-humanize powerful black women.

In this case, Roseanne compared Susan Rice and Valerie Jarrett to apes.

That same ugliness and more was directed toward Michelle Obama, and also toward Serena Williams, both of whom were also accused of being transexuals. Joan Rivers calling Michelle Obama a "tranny" was a low point in the twilight of her career. My impression of Joan is always tarnished by that.

Most recently, Meghan Markle has been called a transexual in some troll comments along with the garden variety stereotypes.

It would be interesting to see a study done on those who feel the need to try and dehumanize (or de-sexualize) women of color.

4. If there is any irony here,

it might be in the fact that both Susan Rice and Valerie Jarrett are better educated, more civilized, more intelligent, more evolved, better people than this sack of shit who thinks she's making fun of them. She's supposed to be a comedian--couldn't she at least make her racism funny?

5. She should keep her " apologies"

Has she looked in the mirror? Not only are her comments racist and repugnant. She has some nerve making comments about other peoples's looks.

It always amazes me, that these " beauty challenged" folks have the nerve to talk about other folks looks. I am not going to take the high road. Roseanne looks like a beat up old chevy. Every time they did that to Mrs. Obama, the person that did it was always beauty challenged as well, so not only were they ugly on the inside, but ugly on the outside.
