[b]Doesn't matter. What matters is if Roseanne thought she was. It is very different comparing a white person to an ape than a black person, although both are of course terrible. I mean, liberals here compare the president of the US to an "orange turd," but we wouldn't have been able to compare Obama to a "constipated black turd."[/b]

And before you start in with "it's fake orange tan" stuff, it still is a stupid thing to criticize Trump about. It shows a fixation on color - natural or fake - by people who proclaim that color should be irrelevant. [/quote]

OP here.  I have to say that I think Roseanne most likely DID know that VJ is African-American, but I don't think that was the inspiration for the Planet of the Apes comment.   Normally, I would definitely think that a comment like that about a women who is described as African American would have been inspired by racism.  But looking at her picture sheds a different light on it. [/quote]
