I don't know whether Roseanne Barr's latest bid on national tv to explain away her racist insult to Valerie Jarrett as being a "mere reference" to the Planet of the Apes movie and not actually calling a prominent black woman an "ape" is her attempt to sound like a Jewish Torah scholar arguing about the Talmud or her attempt to sound like a Jesuit scholar. See https://pagesix.com/2018/09/13/dr-oz-grills-roseanne-barr-on-twitter-disaster/

My conclusion is that when Roseanne described herself as "white trash" years ago, she was accurate. I suspect it is closer to someone urinating on another person and trying to convince that belittled person- and all of America - that "it was just raining" is what Roseanne is now doing.

Some of you may recall another egomaniac and hard drug user, radio shock jock Don Imus, when he insulted the all black members of the Rutgers University women's (mostly black) basketball team in 2007 as:

BEGIN QUOTE

On the April 4 edition of MSNBC's Imus in the Morning, host Don Imus referred to the Rutgers University women's basketball team, which is comprised of eight African-American and two white players, as "nappy-headed hos"

END OF QUOTE

The Rutgers women were then set to play in the 2007 national championship game of Division I NCAA Women's Basketball. Don Imus, I suspect, even in his youthful years, couldn't get chosen for a pickup game of basketball on a big city public playground. And Imus got kicked off the air as well. But at least Imus, who I never was a fan of, didn't try to worm his way out of what he said by claiming some Jesuit style argument.
