Rosie Apologizes (Kind Of)

I've embedded Rosie's weak apology on today's episode of The View. Here are some key points of the video:

1. She apologizes because Elizabeth brings up the topic - not because she's actually sorry.
2. She acts like she's very skeptical that "ching chong" remarks are almost as offensive as the n-word is to African Americans/blacks.
3. She warns us that it's very likely she'll make similarly offensive comments in the near futher because "that's just how her brain works."
4. The entire cast writes if off as if it's not a big deal, that it was just a joke. As if making a joke at the expense of an entire culture is acceptable.

I strongly dislike Rosie O'Donnell now - and I definetly lost what little respect I had for her to begin with. Everyone makes mistakes and if they're truly ignorant about the issue at hand, it's understandable. The point is that you learn from your mistakes - not cast them aside and make excuses for them. She's not taking full responsibility for making such a hurtful 'joke' and she's acting like everyone is getting their panties all in a twist over nothing.

Thanks Mamazilla for keeping me updated!
