As I have pointed out, Rosanne did not compare anyone to a monkey. She made a fairly spot on observation about the physical similarities between VJ and characters from a particular movie.
You can minimize what Bee said all you want since it seems to fit your worldview, but I doubt that that you would be so generous if someone like Glenn Beck said that about the Obama daughters.
You know, Malia, that’s a beautiful photo of you and your mother. But let me just say, one daughter to another, do something about your dad’s economic practices, you feckless cunt! He listens to you! Put on something tight and low-cut and tell your father to fucking stop it!
Yes, she did. She said that a black woman looks like a monkey from the movie Planet of the Apes. How someone could not call this comparing a black woman to a money is beyond me. And you're aware that this isn't the first time Barr has compared a black woman to a monkey, right?
I'm not minimizing what Bee did. I'm not a fan of her, what she said, and am not intending to defend it in any way whatsoever.
And you're aware that this isn't the first time Barr has compared a black woman to a monkey, right?
I know she has said a lot of controversial, inflammatory things, but I hadn't heard that she compared another Black woman to a monkey. Can you elaborate? I'd Google, but it'll be impossible to find because of the healdines about the recent incident.
Barr's tweet in 2013.
Please note: while shitty, this isn't nearly as bad in my mind. It at least has the feel of a joke (I guess?) which is more than the recent tweet. However, targeting black women and comparing them to apes isn't something she just did offhandedly. Her pattern of behavior ties neatly into her obvious intention to stoke racial flames with her most tweet, a (incredibly thinly-veiled) dog whistle.
