UPDATE:
More back and forth concerning Roseanne's recent comments, from anonymous negative social media postings to her daughter's response. Does anyone know more about Roseanne's market in Honoka'a (see below)? I was surprised to hear she was in the produce business.
The comment ("island full of brown people") didn't sit well with several Big Island residents.
Barr's daughter, Jennifer Pentland, said her mother's sense of humor is being taken out of context. She said her mother is not a racist, she is just misunderstood.
“She loves her community. She loves this island, we all do. I've been here 10 years. I work full time at a little market in Honokaa. She supplies all the produce there, or a lot of the produce for that market. It's a labor of love. She's not getting anything back for it," Pentland said..
Pentland says that in the days since her mother's more recent comments, some people have even resorted to threats on social media ("take her fishing, leave her in the ocean...").
