I just looked that one up ("susan rice is a man with big swinging ape balls"). It's pretty bad. But it's not unequivocally racist. It's arguably sexist, and arguably just demented and strange.
I don't think I can get on the ABC "bought the ticket" ride yet. I think the blame on this one lies exclusively with Barr.
It's also worth noting, this woman
really needs to see a shrink. It's clear she's a racist. But there are tens of millions of racists in this country who go about their business every day, keeping their ugly views to themselves. They're closeted racists, because... how else can one be racist? Unless you're a really rich racist, running around touting your racism will quickly make you a racist-without-a-job-and-money. What kind of person has the #1 show on TV and thinks, "I'm going to use a racial slur on Twitter today... That seems fun. I can do that, right?" If Barr wants the proverbial "second act," she needs to disappear for three years and pop up on Netflix, in a series about self sabotage. Rebrand her behavior as fear of success, and examine why some people (JT Miller comes to mind) seemingly intentionally blow themselves up at the peak. Call it "Failure from the Jaws of Success."
