Rosanne bites the dust

Tuesday, May 29, 2018

Another Trump supporter bites the dust. Anti-Trump people can’t get Trump, so they’ve finally brought down his biggest supporter.

ABC canned Rosanne Barr for what some have mislabeled “a racist rant.”

This is a major political coup for the politically correct left that Rosanne has been taunting with her tweets for more than a year, but who they feared to touch because of her high ratings.

It’s very hard to tell whether upper management in ABC such Channy Dungey and Bob Iger are as brain dead as four-day old catfish of they can’t tell the difference between a racial slur and a joke.

But it is clear that nobody messes with Obama-clone Valerie Jarrett and gets away with it.

Jarrett is the epitome of political correctness gone amok, like that spoiled brat everybody hated in grammar school who always screeched for the teacher any time anybody called her a bad name, and the girl the teachers gave extra points in class because nobody wanted to hear her whine about being left out.

She must be an absolute pip at a party, the woman in the corner nobody wants to talk to because of the crap that might flow out of her mouth – not honest crap like a real person might say, but some utter and complete bullshit we get when people at stuck on themselves and think other people think what they think is as important as they think it is, when it is all bullshit.

Naturally, Iger (some call Igor) called Jarrett to tell her about Rosanne’s firing, doing damage control in order to protect the network from the whiplash of a liberal public who might bring down ratings.

Dungey is the first African American to head a major network, which explains why ABC chose her to make the formal announcement.

Liberal media like the New York Times have been attacking Rosanne’s use of social media for some time, trying perhaps to get the network to drop her because she has become a very powerful counter force to the political correct establishment.

Bringing her down is more than just testimony to the ability of the Obama administration to still flex its muscles, but it silences a voice still needed in today’s society.

To accuse someone of racism is the current way of silencing people. To give a disclaimer, people have also falsely claimed some of my poetry is racist, partly because they are too ignorant to understand poetry, and partly because they don’t know what racism is.

To be fair, however, Rosanne and her defense of her tweet, did have questionable elements, and showed a significant ignorance on her part of racial slurs of the past.

Most likely, her crime was accidental.

If you are going to take on the establishment, you really need to be very careful of the language you use, and be very deliberate when you use it. Even then, people will read into what you say regardless of how you say it – as was true with my own poetry.

And if you are an enemy of the establishment the way Rosanne is, rightful or wrongful interpretation will be used deliberately to discredit your message.

Rosanne and her follow up tweet made several key mistakes.

No matter how big a creep Dungey is, attacking the physical appearance of an African American is inappropriate in today’s comic world. Satire of the past used physical distortion to show the inner character of a person. But these days, mocking people’s appearance is considered bullying, and is grounds for attack. Call Dungey stupid, a political hack, even someone who delves into the dark side of the force, but don’t dare compare her to an ape.

You also need to be very specific or very vague when you attack someone’s character. So, if you want to insult Dungey by calling her Obama’ pull toy or his brain-dead parrot, that is acceptable and perhaps even accurate except when compared to the upper management of ABC who actually make Dungey look like a genius.

Rosanne also originally didn’t understand what the fuss was about, since she defended the joke later saying that when she said Dungey was a marriage of Islam and the Planet of the Apes, Rosanne though people were interpreting Islam as race, and apparently didn’t understand that comparing a black person to an ape is akin to some of the past racial slurs while bigots used when comparing black people to animals – implying an interiority to whites.

Still more disturbing is the fact that some people see The Planet of the Apes movies that came out during the racial disturbances of the 1960s and early 1970s as a metaphor for the black uprising against white oppression.

Had Rosanne compared Dungey to Chewbacca, she would have been on more solid ground although might have gotten fired for insulting Chewbacca,

Rosanne with her background in TV and film should have known better.

With people like Dungey, you can mock their actions and their beliefs, but need to refrain from mocking their looks or their ethnic and racial appearance. You can attach Dungey for being brainwashed by a questionable ideology, blindly following anything Obama uttered. But then, ABC upper management appears to be guilty of the very same thing, and shuddering with the terrible misconception that they have any validity, when their history shows that they have made bland any form of art they ever touched, and are in the process of ruining Star Wars the way they once ruined Winnie the Pooh.

It’s always been puzzling why ABC even hosted Rosanne in the first place, but then until something like this happens, greed always turns a blind eye to truth.
