Quote:During Obama’s administration, Jarrett was one of the president’s closest advisers. Jarrett, an African-American, was born in Iran to American parents.
Barr responded to criticism that her tweet was racist by writing, “Muslims r not a race.”

Barr also tweeted about Chelsea Clinton, referring to her as “Chelsea Soros Clinton.” That is a reference to George Soros, the billionaire who has helped fund progressive causes. Clinton fired back with her own response, writing, “Good morning Roseanne – my given middle name is Victoria. I imagine George Soros’s nephews are lovely people. I’m just not married to one. I am grateful for the important work @OpenSociety does in the world. Have a great day!”

Quote:Valerie Jarrett is in the news today, thanks to Roseanne’s tweet, which simultaneously made Leftists’ minds explode all over the nation.

Her show – which, I will remind you, was the number 1 show in America – was promptly canceled because this tweet, wouldn’t you know it, is… Get ready for it… RAY-CISSSSSS!!

And why is it racist, exactly?
Oh, because wouldn’t you just know it? Valerie Jarrett is a WOMAN OF COLOR! 

That’s right.
She had a Great-Grandfather named Robert Robinson Taylor who himself had a white father and a black mother.
Which makes Valerie Jarrett… not a quadroon. Not an octaroon.

BUT A HEXADECAROON.
So Roseanne’s show got cancelled because this was apparently a violation of Hollywood’s moral sensibilities.
And just to be clear, we here are Neon Revolt do not endorse the idea that Valerie Jarrett looks anything like Zira, from Planet of the Apes.



No, no, no resemblance whatsoever.

What is Roseanne even going on about?

But in all seriousness, did you have any idea Jarrett had any African blood in her at all? My guess is Roseanne didn’t, either. My guess is that she looked at her and thought “White? Vaguely Middle Eastern?” and followed through in her pursuit of comedy.

And the Hollywood Cabal was just looking for any excuse to kick her out. Doesn’t matter how much money her show was making; she had to go the second they got an excuse! They were probably already talking about ending the show, because they can’t be accused of giving her a platform. If that’s the case, no doubt Roseanne knew and decided to lob a molotov tweet their way. I wouldn’t blame her.

And don’t forget: all this “outrage” is coming from the same people who have been calling Trump an Orangutan almost nonstop for the past three years.

Quote:The squat brick buildings of Grove Parc Plaza, in a dense neighborhood that Barack Obama represented for eight years as a state senator, hold 504 apartments subsidized by the federal government for people who can’t afford to live anywhere else.
But it’s not safe to live here.

About 99 of the units are vacant, many rendered uninhabitable by unfixed problems, such as collapsed roofs and fire damage. Mice scamper through the halls. Battered mailboxes hang open. Sewage backs up into kitchen sinks. In 2006, federal inspectors graded the condition of the complex an 11 on a 100-point scale – a score so bad the buildings now face demolition.

Valerie Jarrett, a senior adviser to Obama’s presidential campaign and a member of his finance committee. Jarrett is the chief executive of Habitat Co., which managed Grove Parc Plaza from 2001 until this winter and co-managed an even larger subsidized complex in Chicago that was seized by the federal government in 2006, after city inspectors found widespread problems.

Grove Parc has become a symbol for some in Chicago of the broader failures of giving public subsidies to private companies to build and manage affordable housing – an approach strongly backed by Obama as the best replacement for public housing.

As a state senator, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee coauthored an Illinois law creating a new pool of tax credits for developers. As a US senator, he pressed for increased federal subsidies. And as a presidential candidate, he has campaigned on a promise to create an Affordable Housing Trust Fund that could give developers an estimated $500 million a year.

But a Globe review found that thousands of apartments across Chicago that had been built with local, state, and federal subsidies – including several hundred in Obama’s former district – deteriorated so completely that they were no longer habitable.

Grove Parc and several other prominent failures were developed and managed by Obama’s close friends and political supporters. Those people profited from the subsidies even as many of Obama’s constituents suffered. Tenants lost their homes; surrounding neighborhoods were blighted.

Quote:Choices have consequences, and it looks like ABC is about to pay the price for cancelling its hit sitcom “Roseanne.”
Already, conservatives are boycotting the network, citing the double standard of ABC allowing “The View” to remain on air while “Roseanne” was cut due to the star’s loose Twitter thumbs.

The Washington Times reports:
“The abrupt cancellation of ‘Roseanne’ will not come cheap,” saidLacey Rose, television editor for The Hollywood Reporter.
“Although the decision was widely viewed as necessary given the racist nature of star Roseanne Barr’s social media attack on senior Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett, several sources with knowledge of the situation suggest that ABC and parent company Disney could be on the hook for tens of millions of dollars,” Rose reported.

“And that doesn’t include the foregone ad revenue,” she said, citing an industry report from Kantar Media that said that the revival of the 1990s-era sitcom was expected to drive $60 million in advertising dollars.

Quote:If only Roseanne Barr had called Valerie Jarrett a “feckless c*nt” like Samantha Bee referred to Ivanka Trump, an apology would have sufficed.

After Barr said Jarrett resembled someone from “Planet of the Apes,” her show was summarily canceled, and now, the star says her reruns are being pulled, too.

But not just for any show — No, that of convicted sex abuser Bill Cosby.

“Get this!” Barr tweeted Thursday evening. “They pulled my reruns and replaced me with COSBY! It’s kinda hilariously gross.”

A tweet is apparently worse than a rapist in the liberals eyes.  Oh, I forgot... he's black, so his rapes don't count!   Sigh.
