You seem really offended that people think racism is bad thing.

I'm really offended that people can't speak their mind/joke about a minority without every news organization turning their quote into an anti-racism campaign. Shoehorn that **** into everything and avoid open and honest discussions, that'll fix the problem. It's a pathetic publicity stunt.

Was expecting a bombshell ****post but got only a pedestrian MB post. I guess there's no "Whatevs, next thing" option for way too many people. If I'd checked that tweet before it was a thing I would have just been bored.

People should definitely call out things that are racist.. People shouldn't call out every offensive comment and turn it into an opportunity to show everyone how they are on the side of minorities.. All I get from this is ABC saying "look at me, I'm on your side black people".

Who's calling out Roseanne for tweeting "Christian Morons + Planet of the Apes = Judge Judy"? The one way street of who youre allowed to voice your opinion about without being exiled says a lot about how bad we don't want to participate in a practical and productive dialogue about race.

Comparing coloured folk to apes or monkeys is pretty traditional racist rhetoric.

What are your thoughts on my theory that this is just an excuse for something that they were already planning on doing?

Or maybe she legit looks close enough to a female monkey from planet of the apes that it's a reasonable insult? Don't pretend like you don't see it.

I have no opinion on that, I'm ignorant to the subject.
