To express shock horror and some being critized for reffering to black people as apes is either niave or something else...really hope you are naive

Darwin referred to all of us as apes, I don't think that was racist.
Rosanne didn't refer to the woman as an ape, she thought she was a lookalike of that perticular ape in the picture she posted.
I've just googled the words "people who look like animals" pictures that came up included both White and Black people that look like animals, and I'm fairly certain the World didn't end because of this.
She's a comedian and what she did was in no way meant with racist intent in my opinion.
