Left And White

More liberal racism on display:

shortly before the revival of the new and not improved "Roseanne" show began, Barr told the Hollywood Reporter that she supported Donald Trump for president, and she thinks that's probably the real reason why ABC wanted her off the air. They were basically just "waiting for me to slip up," she said in a recent interview with the Daily Mail. She added, "They spied. They monitored everything I did. They wanted to censor me from the very beginning.” She admits she'd never really been comfortable with the direction the show was going in the first place anyway. She also claims that "They hijacked that tweet and made out it said something that it didn’t," adding, "I’m not stupid. I would never refer to a black person as the product of an ape." In fact, she concludes that Iger and others who bashed her were the racist ones. "They were so racist that they thought my tweet said black people look like monkeys when it was about ‘Planet of the Apes,’ which is a movie about fascism. Rod Serling himself said it’s about the Jews in Germany. It is not a movie about black people, Bob." "It’s Marxism 101. Accuse the other side of what you yourself are guilty of,” she explained in a recently published interview with Variety. “Divide the people on class." Here's something else people may not know about the revival of "Roseanne." Barr was hoping it would actually unite people who were divided over Trump's first term. In fact, she saw it as something that could be anti-racist, but she claims ABC execs hated the idea: When I said I was going to have a black granddaughter, they went out of their f***ing minds over that. They just couldn’t have it. My idea was to have my son and his black wife and their daughter moved in the house. And because I have black people and Democrats in my [real-life] family, I wanted to show how we do it, which I think is the way all Americans do. You just love each other in spite of your differences. I knew that they weren’t gonna let me do it, but as on the first show, I said, "No, I am gonna do it, and I’m gonna be number one, and then you’ll be kissing my a** or firing me." What did the network want instead? LGBTetc. stuff. Barr told Variety, "Sara Gilbert comes in and said, ‘Well, I think the thing now is that people are more interested in their kids being gender fluid, and I think it’s Darlene that would come home with her gender fluid son who wears dresses. And I was like, ‘Oh Christ." Barr stood strong on the "black granddaughter" storyline, earning kudos from even "The View" host Whoopi Goldberg. Apparently, ABC couldn't handle it. "But the s*** they wrote for [actress Jayden Rey who played the granddaughter] was putrid. So f***ing racist and sneering and g****** classist. And I said, ‘You’ve got to get black writers in here. She’s not going to say none of this s***." Barr says she regrets issuing an apology about her tweet and takes it back now, offering a warning to others: "The worst mistake you can do is apologize to the left. Then they are on a crusade against you. Once you admit a mistake, they will keep on until you’re dead."

And even after...
