Lowering the Barr

Roseanne Barr, a major creative force in television sit-coms, recently referred to Valerie Jarrett, a Black American and a major actor in the Obama administration, as "a combination of the Muslim Brotherhood and the Planet of the Apes.”

Over the years photographs of Jarrett have been widely published. It probably goes without saying that Jarrett is not a Muslim and does not resemble an ape. Barr, although talented, is more blatantly racist than President Spanky Bonespurs. The off-stage flow of racism floods out of balance anything Barr does on stage. 

I won't watch Barr or Charley Rose or a sit-com starring O. J. Simpson.  










 Roseanne Barr waded into racial waters on Monday, suggesting that former Barack Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett looks like a combination of the Muslim Brotherhood and the “Planet of the Apes.”
