She even went on to say that she didn't know she was black. Whether that's the case or not, I don't know. Personally I'd give her the benefit of doubt. But it doesn't matter because what she said about a black person was heinous, and even she will admit that, the explanation being she was so fucked out of her mind that she had no idea what she was writing. And with this drug, I'd buy her story there too. But again it doesn't matter.
And, if you think that comment is not racist and deserving of consequences, regardless of the intent, you are fucking so far beyond help it's not even funny.

I haven't really been following that news....but to me, calling 1 person looking like an ape doesn't make it racist.
Saying "Black people looks like Ape" is racist.
Saying "You look ugly like an ape" is mean, but not racist.
I've called my friends/classmate apes when I was younger (when they have thick lip/big eyes/wide shoulder/etc)
It is a childish insult but i didn't/still dont' think it is racist.
Is the same idea as calling people with long face = horse, bulging eyes = frog, hairy = gorilla. I had plenty of people call me gorilla because I have lots of bodyhair...
FYI I don't know these people, maybe there is some context to her tweet and her history that would make her racist I dont' know.
But simply calling another person looking like an ape doesn't make it racist, doesn't matter if you are black white yellow green or purple.
(She has gotta be retard to say that tho, considering how sensitive people are with these subjects nowadays..)
