Roseanne Barr and 21st century racism

Posted by Moonage on 19 Aug 2008 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race, Conspiracy Theories

Now, I’m definitely no fan of Roaseanne Barr, so proceed at your own risk.  She had this to offer about Angelina Jolie ( among other, probably worse, things ):

“… do you know that the African daughter you hold in every picture had parents who suffered and died because of the Republican party’s worldwide economic assault on Africa over the last few decades since Reagan?” Barr wrote.

So, according to Barr, if you’re black, you HAVE to vote Democrat.  Voting Republican would be an abomination of your roots, since you’re black and all.

I’m not even going to go into how wrong she is.  But, I’ll just point out that nearly 1/2 of the time since Reagan has been president has been presided over by Democrats.  So, this imaginary economic assault on Africans who have nothing has been done by her own party.

Is there a sane Democrat Roseanne out there?

    Roseanne Barr couldn’t be a bigger boob if she tried.

    Bush ought to be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for his administration’s work on eradicating malaria and AIDS in Africa. In my opinion, this has been one of the most underreported stories of his Presidency.

    Roseanne is clear cut a case of her “art” imitating her life.

    I think in her case, her “art” is her life.

    And yeah, she’s completely bonkers. Fits in perfectly in Hollywood. Actually, I’ll amend that a bit. She’s just ignorant. That word’s value I think has been undervalued in this century. But, she’s completely clueless as to what Bush has done for Africa, obviously, and bases her opinion on what she obviously knows nothing about.

    Either way, she fits in perfectly in Hollywood.
