Social Roseanne tweets outrageously racist comment about former Obama staffer Valerie Jarrett

[dontsnitch]

I forgot Wanda Sykes existed. Has anyone ever found her funny?

She was good on Curb.

It does suck for everyone working on the show. At least they should limit her appearance in the upcoming season as punishment or fire her from the set by killing her off on the show

I mean if Roseanne was smart she'd negotiate to keep the show. Maybe donate her entire salary and do some counseling along with some self imposed community service.

Screwing over a bunch of people's livelihood for your freedom of speech is plain selfish and full on retardation...

note: this is not a freedom of speech issue...

Care to make an argument?

Not really because I will say that's a staggeringly disingenuous statement you made because by supporting a racist person (Trump) the likelihood that said supporters are inherently racist increases. But then I know you will say show me one example of Trump being a racist and I will post 20 and you will say fake news, or taken out of context, or but Hillary. So i'd rather just post a picture of Doc Rivers looking incredulous because it sums up my sentiments with regards to someone in 2018 still passing along the idea that Trump supporters aren't any more or less racist than the general public.

Was she drunk or on drugs?

It's funny how liberals can say anything about Trump, his wife, his daughter and even his special needs son and nothing happens to them.

Roseanne makes one poor tweet and that's all she wrote.

"He said my shoes had a hole in them so I called him a , but I'M the one that got in trouble?????"

 

[Jorge Luis Borges]

Nope. I clearly stated I thought Roseanne was racist.

It was the attempt by several commenters here to paint all Trump supporters as racist to which I was responding. I didn't change the subject from Roseanne to others, they did. I was simply pointing out that they did so stupidly.

 

[ookii]

Not really. Mad Men is about the 60s when racism was still openly prevalent... Roseanne is about here and now...well.. not here anymore..

Also Don Draper is supposed to be an asshole in the show

 

[Jorge Luis Borges]

Not really /QUOTE]

Well, there it is.

 

[HomerThompson]

Also Don Draper is supposed to be an asshole in the show

Seriously. Context, people.

I'll give an an example of a Democrat who is an ignorant racist: the DC councilman who claimed the Rothschild's control the weather. Or we could look at someone like Keith Ellison.

You should start a thread providing video, audio or transcripted samples of liberal celebrities saying racist things then. And please use good, concrete examples like Roseanne's tweet to solidify your point without need to mental gymnastics.

If your point is accurate, it should be easy for you to demonstrate in its own thread.

"Has it's problems with racism"

Vs

"Racists march under our banner, run in our party, win our elections, and identify with our entire platform."

<puh-lease75>

Er, racists do run in the Dem party. Keith Ellison is head of the DNC. I already gave another example of a racist Dem councilman in DC.

Again, I didn't change the subject from Roseanne to who else in America is racist. But anyone who thinks all racists in the US are Republicans is selectively ignorant.

This is a typically dishonest phrasing. No one attempted to paint all Trump supporters as racist. People are responding with disbelief about your comment that you see no reason to think that Trump supporters are more racist than the general population.

Obvious racism aside, I didn't know that the alt-right crowd were still peddling Muslim Brotherhood conspiracy theories. I thought they'd moved on.

I haven't used any mental gymnastics. I already provided a concrete example of ignorant racist statements by ignorant, racist Democrats.

 

[HomerThompson]

Which is, of course, a completely absurd statement.

 

[Big Nasty Edison]

I didn't say you did. I said that if you make a thread, ensure that you don't use samples that could be construed as me talk gymnastics.

My advice was legitimate.

 

[nac386]

Maybe, but it's funny...

I think it's about time that right-wing posters, and right-leaning people in general, stop using this as an excuse to spread enormous amounts of propaganda online.

 

[syct23]

Will she be on Fox News tonight?

And at a White House briefing by tomorrow..

 

[HomerThompson]

I haven't used any mental gymnastics. I already provided a concrete example of ignorant racist statements by ignorant, racist Democrats.

No you didn't. What you posted was someone believing in a loony conspiracy theory, not racism.

He didn't know it was fake. He's now embarrassed and trying to save face.
