I'm sorry - I don't think every time someone is compared to a monkey, it is a racist statement. When someone does it to B or M Obama it tends to be close or go well over into racism.
VJ is of Persian heritage - all of you know that, right? You knew that before today, right? So is saying she is the offspring of a monkey is it to be looked through a lens as if she is black?

And a follow up - sometimes things are racist, some times they are not. I thought her comment was stupid, though not racist.
Not being a fan of Rosanne (or Jarret for that matter) I have already expended more effort on the subject than I had expected to spend.

Better be careful, Kev - you might be forced to a re-edeuction camp sometime soon too, maybe by a lake, in NC. |

Interesting - she does not look African American. I (incorrectly) assumed she was Persian. Changes things a little. |

Wiki said she has some European heritage as well, but yes, that context is important.
