Valerie Jarrett Says Roseanne Tweet ‘a Teaching Moment’; Variety, May 29, 2018

Joe Otterson, Variety; Valerie Jarrett Says Roseanne Tweet ‘a Teaching Moment’

"Valerie Jarrett spoke about the tweets directed at her by Roseanne Barr during an appearance on an MSNBC town hall on Tuesday.

“I think we have to turn it into a teaching moment,” Jarrett said “I’m fine. I’m worried about all the people out there who don’t have a circle of friends and followers who come right to their defense–the person who’s walking down the street minding their own business and they see somebody cling to their purse or walk across the street. Or every black parent I know who has a boy who has to sit down and have a conversation, ‘the talk’ as we call it. Those ordinary examples of racism that happen every single day.”"
