My Experience at Charlie Rose Went Beyond Sexism [He Did Not Harass Black Women]
Esquire ^ | December 4, 2017 | Rebecca Carroll

Posted on 12/21/2017 3:36:44 AM PST by C19fan

In 1997, I joined the production team of Charlie Rose’s popular interview show. I was the only black journalist on staff. At the time, there was little to no recognition of what it meant to be black and female in a workplace dominated by white men. Twenty years later, in this watershed moment of examination and reckoning as one powerful white man after another is disgraced following allegations of sexual misconduct ranging from harassment to assault, we’re still not talking about the ramifications for black women—or the broader connection to structural racism in America.

When Harvey Weinstein was going down some race baiter noticed only white women were his targets so the writer added racism to the charges. Although the article had to revised when a black actress did come out and say Harvey tried to get some from her. Now someone has done the same to Charlie Rose. Mr. Rose is not only a harasser but a racist because he was not into hitting on black women. The picture of this women probably explains why Rose selected other targets.

So now it’s racist not to drop trou and masturbate in front of women of certain racial and ethnic groups? These women should be glad they dodged the Sicko El Pervo bullet.

Would she have been happier if he’d hit on her?

So now if a dude doesn’t sexually harrass a black women it’s racist? Good God these people are insane!

“Please harrass me so I can sue you and/or destroy your life. If you don’t, you’re a racist”.

Is anything NOT racist/sexist/any ist with these a holes?

Give it up people. It ain’t working anymore.

Had the same thought.

Reminds me of the nutty black guy who was angry white people did not sit next to him on the Acela despite his professional pedigree. Most people would love to have an empty seat next to them on a train!

Next hurdle is to get rid of the race, sex, and religious affiliation categories on dating sites.

And porn; much more demand for “white porn”. Now clients will have to see a rainbow mix - and throw in dudes as well...

Trannies on dating and porno sites will just file as “female” since that is how they self-identify, never mind that they still have a penis.

No, because you were treated EQUALLY like any other person doing their job.

If they don’t file as female, then men will have to view them anyway to “level the playing field”.

Years ago one of my sons bought some packs of MLS cards (baseball cards for soccer); they tucked some women in there from whichever of their three recent leagues were functioning at the time. If they couldn’t make women’s soccer popular, they were still going to get fans of real soccer to subsidize it...

BTW: Two of those leagues folded fairly quickly; like black porn, there just isn’t much demand.

Ms. Carroll should have joined the production team of The Cosby Show.

OK, help me understand. She’s a victim because she wasn’t a victim? The world has lost it’s damn mind.

I wouldn’t hit on her even during my “not that picky days””. Why? She is not my type and yes most men have a type.

Bill Clinton should be asked how many black, Hispanic, homosexual, and transsexual people he slept with. We need to know if he is a racist or homophobe.

“Heads I win, Tails you lose”
“Damned if you do, Damned if you don’t”

Therefore: “The only way to win is not to play the game.”

We need to stop giving any sympathy to charges of sexism, racism, or any of the other crap. Life is hard, Honey. Deal with it. That’s what I do. Now go make me a sammich.
