Indeed. I was just about to say how I dunno why she bothered to tweet that lame crack to begin with, surely knowing that the resulting backlash would be monumental. Ultimately, as noted above, the apology was the worst of it.

Comedians make their livings be edgy. Show was already getting weak by the end of the season, and she felt the need to be even edgier to raise her profile. It was a bad risk with the Trump target on her back, and she handled it badly too. Remember "SJWs always lie".

As above, the man must gnaw off his arm to avoid waking the sleeping beast that he took home while drunk. I thought I might add what my dad calls "double coyote ugly" where the man gnaws off his other arm because he knows she'll be looking for a one armed man

This is why friends dont let friends Tweet under the influence. Bet she really regrets drinking and posting now. Think of all the other less fortunate people that are now unemployed because of her indiscretion. Pointlessly churlish

Is she even black? Rachel Dolezal looks more black. She does look weird, though.

She is Iranian-born Muslim - that's higher on the oppression pyramid. Never mind that her entire family consists of communists - that is probably why she got the job easier.

^ Jarrett is black (albeit light-skinned), and I think the "Muslim" thing was made up by the Macedonian content farms. Wiki says that her dad ran a hospital in Iran, hence why she was born there. It also says that her mum was 1/4th black.

The idiocy was in making the comment. There’s no denying Valerie Jarret is a piece of shit. But anytime you mention nonwhite persons and apes/monkeys in the same sentence, you know a shitstorm will ensue, and there’s a high likelihood of it costing you your job.

Valerie isn't even black so I don't understand what the problem is.

It's the thought that counts.

So 1/8th black? That's Sargon of Akkad level of black. I could be 1/16th black for all I know.

Never mind - it's how the media are going to view it and they are going to pound this until oblivion - if such comments are that important to them.

One of the more interesting sidenotes of this is that during George Bush II's administration (2000-08), he was regularly compared to monkeys.

At one point when you put his name into Google, the first thing that would come up was a photo of a monkey. Does anyone remember this? Someone had rigged Google this way as a joke. Liberals found it hilarious.

Then there were the hundreds of memes, like the one below.

I understand there is a different history behind calling black people monkeys. But there is also a more recent history to the insult. If you don't want people making comparisons between monkeys and anyone, don't spend eight years mocking your president with it.

The writers were telling everyone not to worry, they'd lean the show leftist in the next season. This way, at least we don't have to witness it.

I trying to figure out exactly when liberals decided sjw delusions were more important than profitability.

Maybe she tanked the show on purpose since she found out what they were pushing the left wing agenda? Its a shame that another show can't do the same thing without the all the agenda shit.

What's that old saying about copping the most flak when over the target?

At first I was surprised that such a well known figure was being 'allowed' to belittle the likes of Soros so readily.
I was almost about to post that Roseanne fits the 'Reform Jew' idea of AB.

Yet perhaps the old machine simply can't keep pace with the speed of the internet?

I just realized. How long has it been since we've had a family value, conservative tv show on the air? I'm sure there's something I'm missing on cable that I'm not aware of. I remember flipping through and seeing either the same movies, infomercials, or old caps of old shows. Is most tv just liberal now?

The only show I can think of on network TV that fits that description is "Blue Bloods."

From what I can see, the networks went full SJW about 15 years ago. Cable channels like ABC Family (now called "Freeform") and The Hallmark Channel then took over the kind of family fare you used to see on regular TV.

But these networks are directed towards kids and women, not men. Maybe that's the reason men feel the loss of conservative values on TV -- and a reason a lot of men have tuned out of the mainstream.
