VJ is of Persian heritage - all of you know that, right? You knew that before today, right? So is saying she is the offspring of a monkey is it to be looked through a lens as if she is black?



Freud would not kneeJERK a response like that, Eben. I would think you know me better than that.

He’d say you are secretly attracted to your mom. :rotfl:

Curious why you’re defending it?

Comedians all say offensive stuff. But when a Trump supporter says it then its across the line... Its ok to say Trumps mom mated with an orangutan and it is just good fun, but say it to an Iranian who may have as much African blood in her as Elizabeth Waren has Native American blood and Oh my god Rossanne is a racist and must be fired... For fuks sake guys... Open your eyes to the huge double standard.

So apparently both her folks were American, she was just born in Iran - not Persian.

Interesting - she does not look African American. I (incorrectly) assumed she was Persian. Changes things a little.

Wiki said she has some European heritage as well, but yes, that context is important.

I am so tired of the African American this or the any other name before American.. You are all of the HUMAN race and either your American or NOT American. No other ethnic name should go before American. All of this emphasis on ethnic back ground and naming people this sort of victim or that sort of victim is all a bunch of Bu11sh1t. It is almost like this is intentional to divide the USA .

this would be a more productive and coalescing alternative to "We are "fill in the blank" Americans now go to your group and form a coalition"....

No, I could fill the Pacific Ocean with the hypocrisy.

Roman Polanski is a famous director who was convicted in court of drugging and violently raping a child (I think a 13 year old), and he fled to Europe. Hollywood gave him a standing ovation not that long ago, long after we knew he was a child rapist.

So you tell me WDMSO, other than hypocrisy, why is a child rapist still embraced in Hollywood, but someone who calls people nasty names, isn't?

That's one example. I could go on all day. Look at the way they treated Sarah Palin, the things they said about her.

It's more acceptable to abuse conservatives, than it is to abuse liberals (and those sympathetic to liberalism). If Rosanne made fun of Sarah Sanders, there would have been zero outrage.

It's a political calculation of the left. Splinter the nation into as many groups as possible, and hope you can cobble together enough of them, to equate to 51% of the voters on election day. It is absolutely deliberate. They can't win any other way, they can only win with conflict among those groups, they want groups of victims to be mad at upper middle class honkeys. They cannot resist the urge to fan the flames of divisiveness, they depend on it. Their political survival depends on it. They are getting clobbered all across the map, they are desperate, so this is what they came up with.

Yes, double standard

Exactly.

The outrage of liberals when it comes to calling people nasty names, is quite selective. Which means it's fake.

I can attest the outrage at Barr's racism is quite real.

It's not real, if the outrage doesn't exist when conservatives are similarly attacked. So no, you can not attest it's real. You can attest that it's loud and angry. It's not real unless it applies to everyone.

Can't have it both ways. If rap lyrics are nothing to get concerned over, neither is what Rosanne says.

Spence, Al Sharpton has his own show on MSNBC for gods sake, he who has put people in the ground with his hate, he who fabricated rape claims against white cops. As long as liberals listen to him, I don't want any of them lecturing us about racism

PaulS 05-31-2018 06:42 PM

Both potty mouths made what I felt were heartfelt apologies. Roseanne should have kept her mouth shut after that.

the left likes to continually kick you in the nuts while lecturing you on civility :rotf2:

Not condoning her tweet, but a lot of people have said a lot of worse things. She was cracking on her and went two places you can't go in the pc world - color and islam. A little sensitive aren't we? Political correctness is destroying this country. Glad i'm at my age so I won't see what these fuqwads turn this place into.
