Just reported on CNN money HD
Advertisers are now walking away from
her show Full Frontal on USA channel TBS

https://news.sky.com/story/samantha-bee-regrets-inexcusable-slur-about-ivanka-trump-11391592

[S. Bee, 48, a former correspondent
on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart,
admitted to crossing a line
with the comment and said she regrets it.]

Meanwhile Ted Nugent (https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/chelsea-clinton-hypocrisy-samantha-bee-outrage_us_5b1059dae4b0d5e89e1e2a71) calls Hillary the c-word and gets invited to the White House, and Trump (https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2016/10/01/politics/female-reporter-trump-called-me-the-c-word/index.html) calls a female reporter the c-word and becomes President :think:

The fact that the White House are trying to equate this with Roseanne's racism (she also called Hillary the c-word, btw) is laughable

[Oliver_W]

Samantha Bee is just an unfunny wreck who doesn't deserve her "fame", but stupid comments which are completely in character for her don't really warrant the advertisers abandoning her.

Preach, the fact they are pushing this because of 'double standards' is ridiculous considering they don't seem to mind it when men they like call women *****.

It's a joke.

The "C" word is not like by Church Folk
and advertisers get messages from viewers
saying
that they must pull out from her show,
or they lose the product getting sold etc.

Its how long they stay away that is the Danger
to her comedy show.

Avoid the "C" word,
on TBS , USA.

This is progression, embrace it, it's 2018 after all.

[Tom4784]

Progression is not trying to undercut racism by shifting focus. That is sliding back, not going forward.

[Alf]

Progression is not trying to undercut racism by shifting focus. That is sliding back, not going forward.Rosanne has said that she didn't know that the woman was black and thought that she was white, so she didn't believe at the time that she was being racsist.

Does that change anything?

[Tom4784]

No, lies don't tend to change the facts.

[bots]

Forgetting for a moment people jumping on bandwagons, money talks with advertisers, nothing else, so clearly she directly detrimentally affected their bottom line.

[Alf]

No, lies don't tend to change the facts.If I saw a picture of Valerie Jarrett for the first time, I would think she was white too.

I don't believe there was intent of racism by Rosanne.

[Oliver_W]

To be fair I look blacker than Valerie Jarrett, and I'm fricken Snow White over here.

That's really not how it works

...so the Muslim Brotherhood (which Roseanne also compared her to) are all white as well, are they?

[Alf]

That's really not how it worksHow what works?

Rosanne made a mistake (we've all made mistakes and we'll continue too) she immedietly apologised, give the woman a break and a bit of forgivness.

[The Slim Reaper]

Valerie Jarrett has been a long term boogeyman for the insane American right. To say that Roseanne didn't know what she looked like is a flat out lie. She also called Susan Rice (another Obama appointed right wing target) an ape in 2013.

It isn't how ethnicity or race work; "she doesn't look completely black so Roseanne wasn't being racist"

[Alf]

It isn't how ethnicity or race work; "she doesn't look completely black so Roseanne wasn't being racist"How does ethnicity and race work?

Your idea of progression is fiction rather than fact!

Congratulations, you added nothing to the discussion.

I've never heard of this person in my entire life. Are they famous?...

[Oliver_W]

Well... it's not the most insane comparison, is it ...

It could just be that Rosanne didn't realise the woman was black, so didn't know making the comparison could have racist implications.

yes well done advertisers abandoning this vile foul mouthed woman. Money talks in America and she will soon find this out the hard way

:clap1:

She was on the Daily Show on ComedyCentralHD
a year ago
part of a big team.


She is 48 years old
and took a gamble with her show on USA TV
TBS.

Crowder debunks her or makes fun of her from time to time. She's a really rubbish comedian who makes political jokes, but the "facts" the jokes are built on are always misrepresented, and she says everything in a joke voice.

Samantha

last year or so.

It could just be that Rosanne didn't realise the woman was black, so didn't know making the comparison could have racist implications.Aussie Rules player - Adam Goodes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Goodes)

https://i.imgur.com/GjiVnme.jpg

Fron his wiki page -

On 24 May 2013, during the AFL's annual Indigenous Round, a 13-year-old Collingwood supporter called Goodes an "ape". Upon hearing the abuse, Goodes pointed the girl out to security who ejected her from the stadium.[22] After the game, Collingwood president Eddie McGuire apologised to Goodes on behalf of the club. McGuire said that Collingwood had a zero tolerance policy towards racism, but also said that the girl, who later apologised to Goodes, did not know that what she had said was a racial slur.[23] Goodes said that he was "gutted" and that he had "never been more hurt" but nevertheless called on the community to support the girl instead of blame her.[24][25]

Do you think it's a not insane comparison in this case? Ape is a word that is used pretty much around the globe to describe people often indigenous people so, for me, its always an insane comparison.

But the woman's haircut does resemble those from the old Planet of the Apes movies...

Ok so you think it fair enough then. I cant debate that.:shrug:

The she's as stupid as she looks.

[Marsh.]

Rosanne has said that she didn't know that the woman was black and thought that she was white, so she didn't believe at the time that she was being racsist.

Does that change anything?

Is Roseanne blind?

[Marsh.]

"I didn't know the woman was black" is certainly a fresh approach.

Beats the "My cousin's husband is black so I'm not racist"!

[Maru]

Tbf, I wouldn't have known that calling someone an ape/monkey was a common derogatory comparison towards black folk until I read that sort of critique on the internet. I always traditionally thought it was just meant to call anyone really stupid and ignorant (i.e. primate level IQ)... hence Homer Simpson being likened to an ape.

[Oliver_W]

Ok so you think it fair enough then. I cant debate that.:shrug:

C'mon, there's no debate that the resemblance is there. The only thing to debate is whether or not it should be pointed out, and the possibly racist implications of doing so.

[GiRTh]

C'mon, there's no debate that the resemblance is there. The only thing to debate is whether or not it should be pointed out, and the possibly racist implications of doing so.WTF So you actually think it is a fair comparison . I wasn't sure if you were t taking the p&ss with your last post. Thanks for clearing it up.

Personally I never compare people to animals but if you do then go for it however, word of warning, you may find yourself in this position in the future. Be careful with that :thumbs:

I wasn't comparing her to an ape. I said her hairstyle is similar to the hairstyle the (human) actress had in a 50 year old film.

You know where I stand and I know where you stand. I was serious about not debating this.

[Alf]

Technically it's not an ape, it's a character from "Planet of the Apes" so it's a human in a costume.
