If I didn’t know Jarrett was black (and I didn’t), I pretty much can guess Roseanne didn’t either.
No, but every time we get a good thing going, somebody has to mess it up.......................now, that’s a paraphrase of a Chris Rock quote. I wont use the language he used...........
Well-put and thanks for pointing out what ought to be obvious here (but not).
I don’t care about that kind of equality. I just recognize that there is a deep historical context to some of the things. I am white and if someone calls me an ape then it is just rude and insulting. Someone not seeing how it is different when a black person (I absolutely hate VJ by the way) is called an ape is missing the historical context.
Beastie Boys didn’t fight for our right to call black people apes and neither should you.
Yes, fighting for survival.
And IF I were to say, they are going to come out swinging,
they would call THAT RACIST as well. Due to the fact the RACE CARD is all they know in their identity politics, of course, it’s the card THEY PLAY. Swinging = monkeys
Everyone have the picture? PATRICK KENNEDY, skated on Ambien, Roseanne broke the ice and went down like a block of lead. Some monkeys swing from sturdier branches
Lots of words, but point missed.
The point:
The news/entertainment industry is not riddled with extreme libs, anti-Trump people....it is almost 100% wild eyed libs.
That every single one of them is completely freezing Roseanne out of the industry should raise alarm bells.
As others have said, she is being made an example, a warning to others to stay in line or be ruined.
The people who are blacklisting her are well aware of the hundreds of employees and retired actors who are losing income as a result. The intent is to make everyone hate her, make the pain worse, freeze her out even from her friends.
And remind all in the industry that this could happen to them as well if they are not PC.
> if you’re invoking First Amendment protection, it has nothing to do with this situation... <
Right you are. And the First Amendment has nothing to do with the kneeling NFL players. The First Amendment protects you against the government.
It does not protect you against a disapproving employer. Too many people just don’t get that.
>> Jokes about Jews and gas are not okay.
Rosanne’s gone there before in print, too.
And no, I don’t find Rosanne funny and her tweet was just plain dumb.
I do care. Either equality is equal, or it isn’t equality. There is “historical context” to everything, every person, every race, but we only have to dance on broken glass for some of them.
Amazon and Netflix are owned by radical liberals who are personal friends of Obama
Why wasn’t the Left calling Bush “a mick” racist?
This was a Disney show to get Trump. It was planned to make Trump look bad. Don’t fall for it.
Did Bill Clinton and Donald Trump meet to discuss grandchildren before he announced his campaign?
Also, Persian and monkey comparisons are racist? Perhaps because she is close with zero?
The thing people are conflating with free speech rights here is the obvious fact that consequences of exercising the right are not equally applied among different views/groups/affiliations of people (i.e. liberals/conservatives).
The right to free speech has not been infringed in Roseanne’s case, it’s the lopsided application of consequence as compared to others on the left that exercise the right in similar or much more vile ways. That liberals tend to feel no pain or are placed in even higher regard after making hateful remarks towards the right of the political spectrum, or whites in general is the real insult here.
Because the “historical context” of white history doesn’t matter/s
Zira Jarrett.
Exactly. You saved me from having to find the words.
