Trump is constantly mocked for his orangeness and I have done that too. It's not a big deal to ordinary people. It's a hue and cry on Twitter and within the establishment. I am sure most sensible people would sooner have the show continue and for people to quit being such snowflakes. I don't see DeNiro being blacklisted because he said he would like to punch Trump in the face. That is much worse than a jokey reference to someone looking vaguely like a character from a film.
    So you are purposely ignoring the racist coonotations with the statement and Rosanne admitting it was wrong?
    I think you must be racist warping the word 'connotation' like that. I am saying that we ignore actual threats of violence which have no consequences and that we have many examples of people being compared to animals or having negative aspects of their appearance pointed out. I am saying that it is extreme to cancel a show over a wayward joke. It's a bad joke in bad taste, but you seem like the kind of man that would ban Derek and Clive. I am just not someone that gets upset by jokes about race or sexuality or gender or height or weight or anything else. You sound like a robot really. You parrot everything the media tells you to.
    I do not parrot what the media tells me, you are ignoring something that is clearly offensive and try and down play it to something that is trivial when it is not.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    If I cut you from ear to ear or drive my car into you, that is hateful and serious. If I make a joke about you looking like some creature because you happen to look like that creature that is really very trivial in the great scheme of things. You are a politically correct robot drone. Every post is some tedious politically correct line typically parroting some bollocks the media has fed you. Awful.

    Well, excuse me while I cut my wrists. This is a dark and serious world and everyday children are getting murdered, bombs are falling on people and little birds are dying. People telling jokes on the Internet is nothing in the great scheme of things and it is an absurdity that it can bother anyone. Frankly, I couldn't care less what you think of my opinion and that's how we evolve. Has anybody ever described Trump as an orangutan? I am sure they have. Should it matter? No of course not.

    Please do not self harm on my account. Do it for your own reasons.

    I am not in a good mood, but I am not going to hurt anyone. And actually I hold animals in high regard. I love them all from the birds, to the cats, to the iguana. I don't consider them less than humans. I regard them as equals. If someone is going to call me a chimp, or a deer, or a giraffe, I am really not going to take it as an insult. However, I have never been called a chimp, but I have been called those other animals and they are less intelligent than chimps. Is it an insult? I really don't think so. It is just a comparison of appearance.

    I love master I really do but he is definitely a politically correct robot drone. And it's amazing how those politically correct robot drones are the ones who tell us that we cannot form our own opinion and that we get all our opinions from the media. Hahaha you really just can't make that up and I mean that this time you just can't make that up!
