Thanks Marg, same to you. I probably won’t last long though. 
Valerie Jarett’s parents.
James E. Bowman
James Edward Bowman was born on February 5, 1923, in Washington, D.C., the son of Dorothy (Peterson), a homemaker, and James Edward Bowman, Sr., a dentist.[3] His parents were African-American.[4] He attended Dunbar High School. He earned his undergraduate and medical degrees from Howard University in 1943 and 1946. He did medical internships at Freedmen’s Hospital in Washington D.C. and at Provident Hospital in Chicago, Illinois. His residency in pathology was at St. Luke’s Hospital in Chicago where he was the first African American resident.[3]
Barbara T. Bowman
Bowman was born and raised on the south side of Chicago, Illinois, the daughter of Laura Dorothy Vaughn (née Jennings) and Robert Rochon Taylor, who was on the board of the Chicago Housing Authority. Her grandfather was architect Robert Robinson Taylor.[3]
Originally she denied any racism, then in a desparate attempt to please the intolerant left she tried an apology.
Bad choice. She should have defended herself, raised a stink about the hypocritical left that says all sorts of horrid things about conservatives, homophobic, racist sexist etc and get away with it.
Then her show might have been picked up by another network.
Fixated on race. Try to move on, it does a body good. Breathe the air of freedom.
You thought Jarett was a Persian…you were wrong.
Not seeing one’s race every time you look at another human being is a wonderful thing. Its liberating. Think of Adam and Eve, and how everyone is therefore family.

It isn’t just the “intolerant left” who had a problem with what she said. Basically everyone except Trumpers were appalled and believe ABC made the right move.
Trumpers picked the wrong person to support, and it should have been obvious all along that this would happen. She has years of history of doing and saying very offensive things.
Plus her apology doesn’t seem very sincere when she’s retweeting comments from people who still support her. Her promise to leave Twitter sure didn’t last long.

Valerie Jarret is not Persian. She is the child of two African-Americans.
I wonder if the rating lure, will cause one of the networks to make a conservative sit com…
And it wasn’t ambien that did it. It looks to me like the result of a steady diet of Fox News and infowars.
Let me guess - you’re going to argue that statistically, she probably has some tiny fraction of a percentage of “Persian” ancestry.
Because you can’t admit that you were wrong, and will once again resort to pedantry.
Man. Those are the most straight up Persians I think I’ve ever seen.
Guess who wrote this one as well?
Valerie Jared is not black, apes have no racial connection to blacks and the pictures of those beheading in the name of Allah were ugly dudes.
Since you apparently missed it the first time around, she’s mixed race.
On the television series Finding Your Roots, genealogical research and DNA testing indicated that Jarrett also has French, Scottish, and Native American ancestry.[6] As a child, Jarrett spoke Farsi, French, and English.[7]
It’s like calling John McCain a Latin dude because he was born in Panama.

On a genetic level, everyone is “mixed race”. Basically every “white” person in this country has some DNA from an “non-white” race, and basically every “black” person in this country has some DNA from a “white” race.
That doesn’t have anything to do with the fact that both of her parents were African-American, and not Persian.

Shhhh. Tex has found his tiny, minuscule, insignificant nit to pick here. Just let him have his 60 or 70 posts about it and then we can move on with an actual conversation with whoever is left.
