In a wide-ranging interview with spiritual adviser Rabbi Shmuley
Boteach, the disgraced comedian addressed the current controversy
stemming from a racist tweet she made weeks ago.
Rabbi Shmuley Boteach has released his interview with Roseanne Barr
following the cancelation of the comedian's ABC sitcom, Roseanne,
after she made a controversial racist tweet about Valerie Jarrett, a
senior adviser to former President Barack Obama.
Recorded the day after Barr was fired by ABC and her show was
canceled, the phone interview was posted Sunday morning on Boteach's
Soundcloud account, and a transcript of the conversation also was
posted on Facebook.
"It’s really hard to say this but, I didn’t mean what they think I
meant," Barr said of her tweet. "And that’s what’s so painful. But I
have to face that it hurt people. When you hurt people, even
unwillingly, there’s no excuse. I don’t want to run off and blather on
with excuses. But I apologize to anyone who thought, or felt offended
and who thought that I meant something that I, in fact, did not mean.
It was my own ignorance, and there’s no excuse for that ignorance."
Barr became emotional during the conversation, often speaking through
tears about the issue. "You have to feel remorse, not just repentance.
That’s just a step towards feeling remorse. And when you feel remorse
you have to follow it with recompense," the comedian said while
crying. "You have to take an action in the world — whether it’s
through money or other things — to correct your sin. After your heart
is unfrozen and after it stops being broken from the pain you caused
others, you stop being a robot and you've got to come back to God. So
it’s remorse, and I definitely feel remorse."
In the weeks since her show was canceled, Barr has been dropped from
her agency, ICM Partners; received considerable backlash from
Hollywood; reruns of her show were pulled from Paramount Network, TV
Land and CMT; and ABC has greenlighted The Conners, a spinoff of
Roseanne, without her attached.
Many labeled Barr's tweet racist, as she referred to Jarrett, an
African-American woman, as if the "Muslim brotherhood & planet of the
apes had a baby."
"I have black children in my family. I can’t, I can’t let ‘em say
these things about that, after 30 years of my putting my family and my
health and my livelihood at risk to stand up for people," Barr told
Boteach through tears. "I’m a lot of things, a loud mouth and all that
stuff. But I’m not stupid, for God’s sake. I never would have
wittingly called any black person, [I would never have said] they are
a monkey. I just wouldn’t do that. I didn’t do that."
She continued, still crying: "People think that I did that and it just
kills me. I didn’t do that. And if they do think that, I’m just so
sorry that I was so unclear and stupid. I’m very sorry. But I don’t
think that and I would never do that. I have loved ones who are
African-American, and I just can’t stand it. I’ve made a huge error
and I told ABC when they called me."
Barr went on to note her previous excuse for her tweet, which was that
she was under the influence of Ambien when she made the comment.
"That’s no excuse, but that is what was real," she told Boteach.
"I horribly regret it. Are you kidding? I lost everything, and I
regretted it before I lost everything," Barr continued. "And I said to
God, 'I am willing to accept whatever consequences this brings because
I know I’ve done wrong. I’m going to accept what the consequences
are,' and I do, and I have. But they don’t ever stop. They don’t
accept my apology, or explanation. And I’ve made myself a hate magnet.
And as a Jew, it’s just horrible. It’s horrible."

Am I not remembering this correctly or didn't she get into some
Twitter battles over this same issue around the time of her firing.
Where she defended her own remarks in public? Given that and her past
behavior you'll have to forgive me if I think this might be someone
who wants forgiveness just so she can keep working and not because of
any true change of heart.

That's how you conduct an interview when you are unable to meet in person.

Pressure from Israel and the Lobby was not the only factor behind the decision to attack Iraq in March 2003, but it was critical. Some Americans believe that this was a war for oil, but there is hardly any direct evidence to support this claim. Instead, the war was motivated in good part by a desire to make Israel more secure. According to Philip Zelikow, a former member of the president’s Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board, the executive director of the 9/11 Commission, and now a counsellor to Condoleezza Rice, the ‘real threat’ from Iraq was not a threat to the United States. The ‘unstated threat’ was the ‘threat against Israel’, Zelikow told an audience at the University of Virginia in September 2002. ‘The American government,’ he added, ‘doesn’t want to lean too hard on it rhetorically, because it is not a popular sell.’
