A YEAR AGO




IN the News (May 2018 30)
-Dr. Seus Racist ; apparently an issue of the last. Mrs Trump donated some Dr. Seuss books which were rejected on racial grounds. The argument goes on at least from 2017 and seems ridiculous on the face of it - but deals with at least one case of a traditional cartoon of a Chinese boy in clothing that most CHinese people wore at the time - but as we all know everyone looks like westerns now and any traditional dress is a sigh of high political incorrectness - one must be as racist as possible and deny history if it is not western looking to be politically correct.


-For days now Roseanne Barr has been in the news over her show being cancelled over racist tweets. It took some work to find the tweets as no one seems willing to republish them; which made me suspicious. The tweet was in this article

“itcom star Roseanne Barr apologized on Tuesday for her racist tweet about Valerie Jarrett, in which she says the former Obama administration adviser is a product of the Muslim Brotherhood and Planet of the Apes. She also said she is leaving Twitter.
Barr posted the comment in response to a tweet alleging that Jarrett helped “hide” various Obama-era secrets.
“Muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby=vj,” Barr wrote in the since-deleted tweet.”

    Confusing to me since I do not think racist, but I know that in the USA uses evolution and the APE as an indication that black people are evolutionary lower than those born of other colours, much as Trump is a throwback to Nethrandral times to many. The Muslim Brotherhood one I don’t get yet. Trump is a big supporter of the Brotherhood since he supports Saudi Arabia; however the brotherhood is radically right wing and an advocate of theocratic rule in every state under Muslim law.  My guess is that Muslims are bad and anti-Christian and that Rosanne is using this as a given which makes this a racist insult - like those of the alt-right that say Lauren Southern is Jewish; impling but not saying that this is a bad thing.
   
    Of course intention matters. I have called children “monkeys” in the past implying they are are silly and mischievous. In a hyper racist witch hunt it be advisable to get out of that habit least there be a child with dark coloured skin in the mix; or racist parents who do want to have implied that there children have darker skin. Insane mental gymnastics.
