Roseanne Barr , wizard ofRoseanneand late night antiblack tweet rants , was having a tough time on the Internet yesterday after sending a particularly antiblack tweetcomparing a former Obama aide-de-camp to an ape .
Despite defenses from telly show host that equate " being a racialist " with " having mental health issues " in a way that ’s quite offensive to people with mental health issues who nevertheless do n’t squeeze racist thing …
… a mess of people on the net are angry at her for her tweet .
Roseanne contract to Twitter to hold herself yesterday , with a stunningly weak account for her conduct .
Yes , Barr blamed … Ambien . A sleeping pill was the cause of her antiblack tweet , as well as her followup tweetaccusing George Sorosof being a Nazi officeholder , even though he was9 years oldwhen WWII broke out .
hoi polloi of the Internet did n’t grease one’s palms her apology , for obvious reasonableness , and fix about mocking her .
It was n’t just regular Twitter users and the freaking dictionary that got involve . Drug manufacturing business Sanofi fall in in too . The past class has seen some jolly weird press handout from companies , including great mullein - Almighty Tiki Brand stating that they do n’t plump for racialism , but this might take the prize .
Sanofi released a statement on Twitter expressly pointing out that racial discrimination is not a known side - effect of taking Ambien .
Sorry , Roseanne , the racial discrimination was inside you the whole time . Whilst Ambien does have some horrendous side - effects , " including ' rest ram ' and other complex behaviors while not being to the full alert ( preparing and corrode food for thought , make phone call , or induce sex),“according to Sanofi ’s internet site , racism is not one of them .
Besides , even if it was , it would n’t explain everything .
More likely , Twitter drug user point out , if Ambien did play a part in this , it was just that she was in a sedated state when she let the mask slip a piffling .
Which does n’t exactly get you off the hook .
