Maybe same reason why Trump was still allowed to run as president after grabbing women by the pussy, without even asking

Seriously welfare, instead of binge watching Ben Shapiro videos all day long, how about go outside, enjoy life a little, read a book and learn to develop your own opinions rather than regurgitating everything you hear on a racists YouTube channel

I would say "feckless cunt" is quite the apt description of that woman.
Even if there was no basis for calling her a "feckless cunt", a woman calling another woman a cunt is no where near the level of being a racist.

That's just common sense and how the world is but unfortunately idiots like welfare don't get it.

ABC decided that as a business, they do not want to accept the financial consequence of being aligned with such a woman, as a Libertarian you should agree and understand their reasoning to cancel her show.
Never said ABC didn't have the right to fire her. My objection was to the current culture of complete snd absolute destruction of someone and anyone axnd any business associated with them, over a medium which can't exibit context or intention.

As for Roseanne's diatribe being deemed racist, whether I agree or not - according to what exactly? Who deemed it so? The court of public opinion does not meet my standards.

So what is your objective measure of determining who a racist is or not - if not public opinion?

I wonder if trump will be blamed for the inevitable collapse of the EU. Even though it's been fracturing since the Greek debt crisis and Brexit. Add to that the surge in right wing nationalist populism that's been flouncing through the last few years.
Italy being the most recent election. Which the EU attempted,and failed, to block.
I'd say these tariffs could just be the anvil that break that camels back. Exacerbating the political climate that's already taking hold there

So Obama's daughters. Feckless c#nts? Maybe they should have thrown on something real short for their daddy, to convince him.

And of course there's Joy Reid. Who just flat out denied ever making the homophobic tweets.
This wonderful beacon of light is still on the air.

I tell ya, if it weren't for double standards, liberals would have no standards at all.
https://www.mediaite.com/online/excl...re-fabricated/

Quote:
the MSNBC host claims these posts from The Reid Report — which include defending homophobia, gay jokes, and the outright mocking of gay people and homosexuality — were somehow put in by an “external party” that “manipulated material from my now-defunct blog.”

While Reid apologized in December for writing homophobic content on a blog she ran long before her days as an icon of the #Resistance movement, she claims these new posts opposing gay marriage and cringing “at the sight of two men kissing” were part of a “fabricated” outside effort to paint her as “offensive and hateful.”

Lots of people lost their shows after saying dumb shit. Lots of people kept their shows after saying dumb shit. You literally have no point to make. It's up to the show runners and network to keep it or not. Roseanne's show runners and network decided to can her.

It would be a "double standard" if some star of another ABC show, with the same producers, said a racist comment and they kept the show. Otherwise, you're just making pointless irrelevant noise.

Very true. I digress, that is a valid point. About the show.
The outrage on the other hand, i think you'd agree, is selective.
Still not convinced that the tweet was racist either. While Joy flat out lied about ever tweeting hers.

But anyways. We're going in circles.
Both sides are guilty of saying some shit. I think any reasonably honest person can agree with that.

Now look at the date Ben Shapiro's video was made/when this guys commentary was made and how it coincides with welfares post (linked in the screenshots below).

Hahaha. That's funny. First time I've seen Shapiro's take on the movie. thank you for that.
I don't really listen to much of his stuff. Kinda dry. I prefer things that make me laugh. But now that I've seen the movie, he wasn't very far off the mark.
And sorry, But where was this 'racism' you were proving?

And you can tell how much i actually cared by the fact i waited almost three months to watch it.
I stand by that review. Not my cup of tea. Totally overhyped.
Kind of a shithole movie actually

No, it took you 3 plus months to watch the film because you were waiting for the Blu-ray rip to be posted online. Your dinky home setup did not do the film justice.

Plus there were way too many coons in the movie for your liking.

Wrong again.
I genuinely forgot that i was going to bother watching it. That's how excited i was.
And to put it into perspective, if the cast was all white, I'd still give it the same garbage rating. But like i said, not my cup of tea. I personally think superhero movies are stupid. I was actually being generous with my rating and took that into consideration.
So if you think I'd actually spend money to see that dribble in the theaters, you are very sadly mistaken.
Hell i would have shut it off after ten minutes but i just wanted to see what all the hype was about.
And that's exactly what it was. Hype.
Just my opinion though

What was more funny is that he reviewed American History X right prior to that post about Black Panther, he loved the premise and gave it an 8/10. It's funny because of how antithetical the two films are.

His trolling has be laughing at this point.

American History X, is legit a great movie though... and it’s not supportive of racism in any way? I’m not sure that’s a valid comparison in this particular instance...
