What precipitated her tweet? Was she having an tweet argument with Jarrett or did it just come out of the blue? Kind of weird and it was ignorant but I can't see all the hubub about it.

Generally comedians get some leeway on these issues. Wanda Sykes (whom I love) was the first to say she was leaving the show but some of her material is worse - of course she is black so she gets a pass? What about someone like Andrew Dice Clay who was very popular maybe 30 years back - would a comedian like him get away with that nowadays? As a society are we too sensitive and take things way out of context?
