On Trump supporter Roseanne Barr getting her show shitcanned for an absurdly racist tweet, well you win the pool!

Who could have seen this coming?

“Muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby=vj” Barr said in a tweet that has been deleted.

What an injustice!

Meh. I’ve never watched the show on account of it showcasing a tranny kid and lesbians. It may have been somewhere in th Trump political spectrum, but I couldn’t stomach Roseanne the first time around, much less the second with all its hot button topics. But then, I am accused of being a television snob by everybody who knows me.

Roseanne is now blaming her tweet on Ambien.

"It was 2 in the morning and I was ambien tweeting — it was memorial day too," Barr explained in a tweet posted overnight that was later deleted.

Sanofi, who makes Ambien, tweeted a response Wednesday morning: "While all pharmaceutical treatments have side effects, racism is not a known side effect of any Sanofi medication."

First off, screw Roseann. Ever since I was in HS and she screeched out the National Anthem an spit and grabbed her crotch, I haven't thought much of her.

ABC did the correct thing in firing her for her tweet. Meanwhile Jemele Hill can say horrible things and only get suspended despite working for the same company. Then to top it off ABC decides to re-hire Keith Olbermann who has said far worse things than either of them. So what is the deal ABC? Unless you are trying to set Roseann and Jemele Hill up for lawsuits, what the heck is the deal with signing Olbermann?

Firing Roseann was the correct move. Firing Hill should have happened earlier this year and Olbermann never should have been re-signed. But since you are taking a different stance with each of them you just make it look like a dumpster fire.

Sure it is, just ask anyone in HR. Being a racist is cause for dismissal. Just as sexual harassment is.

In the media it's another story though.

Depends who you ask. According to the NAACP, there were 1297, which is a little over 1/4th of all known lynchings.

Oh, I see... you thought there weren't any, so you thought you were making some kind of point... which you did -- you made a point of being fucking stupid... again.

Depends on who is doing the enforcement and who makes the rules. I just took a report last week on a sexual harassment claim from an employee, submitted it to the supervisor, who said she would talk to the harasser about it. That is the extent of the investigation by upper management. As of today the harasser and the complainer are still working in the same office. I will wait for my subpoena to testify in the civil suit that I am sure will be filled when the employee has to quit to get away from this fucking pervert, it is such a full blown harassment case it is unreal that dick is still working there. Submitted detailed notarized statements from myself, the employee, the manager she initially reported it to. Ass is completely covered.

So 90% of the population got lynched 1/4 as often as 10% of the population. Was that supposed to be an argument that racism is not real?

Exactly.

Two wrongs don't make it right, yet for Democrats it does make it right. They applaud black racism which for them isn't racism, unfortunately racism will never end with such a policy. Similar to blaming firearms for murder as opposed to the people who commit murder. Inanimate objects don't commit murder, people do.

Racists come in all colors and nationalities, its not just a white problem.

Callum Borchers in the WSJ wrote:
President Trump on Thursday continued to lobby ABC for an apology, tweeting that the network and the chief executive of its parent company, Bob Iger, “have offended millions.” But the president was not referring to the offense of Roseanne Barr comparing Valerie Jarrett to an ape; Trump was referring to what he deems offensive news coverage and commentary about him.

What exactly does Trump find objectionable? He cited an erroneous report from December, which ABC handled at the time with a correction and four-week suspension of journalist Brian Ross.

Trump previously tweeted about multiple, but unspecified, “HORRIBLE statements made and said about me.” White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders identified several such statements during a media briefing on Wednesday, including this one: “Where was Bob Iger's apology to the White House staff for Jemele Hill calling the president and anyone associated with him a white supremacist?”

Hill is a prominent figure at ESPN, which, like ABC, is owned by the Iger-run Walt Disney Company. She did not say that “anyone associated with” Trump is a white supremacist, but she did tweet last fall that “Donald Trump is a white supremacist who has largely surrounded himself w/ other white supremacists.”

What's striking about the Hill tweet's inclusion on a White House list of grievances against Iger is the implied equivalence between racism and calling out racism. Jarrett said Tuesday that Iger phoned her to apologize on behalf of the company for Barr's racist tweet. The White House's position is that Iger should have similarly dialed Trump to apologize for Hill's accusation that the president is a white supremacist.

The suggestion is that calling someone racist is just as offensive as saying something racist — maybe even more so. Sanders ripped Hill's remark as a “fireable offense,” but neither she nor Trump has weighed in on whether ABC was right to cancel “Roseanne;” Sanders said Barr's tweet was merely “inappropriate.”

Being unfairly labeled racist can, of course, cause significant reputational damage. Hill arguably took her criticism of Trump too far when she said the president “is” a white supremacist. But a month before Hill tweeted, Trump said there were “very fine people” on both sides of a violent clash in Charlottesville between white supremacists protesting the removal of a Confederate statue, and a group of counterprotesters.

“What about the alt-left that came charging at the alt-right?” Trump said at a news conference. “Do they have any semblance of guilt?”

“I think there's blame on both sides,” he added. “And I have no doubt about it.”

While not a declaration of membership in the clan (or, perhaps, Klan) of white supremacists, the president's remarks could easily be interpreted as an expression of sympathy for white supremacists, who, he said, were “peaceful” as they marched with torches, chanting slogans such as “Jews will not replace us.”

Even former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci, who remains a Trump supporter, condemned the White House's “toleration” of white supremacy when he appeared on “The Late Show” last August.

“Are there elements of white supremacy within the White House right now?” Stephen Colbert asked. “Is Steve Bannon a white supremacist?”

Bannon, who had previously led Breitbart News and described the website as “the platform for the alt-right,” was Trump's chief strategist at the time.

“I don't think he's a white supremacist, although I've never asked him if he's a white supremacist,” Scaramucci replied. “What I don't like, though, is the toleration of it. It's something that should be completely and totally intolerated.”

Iger never endorsed Hill's tweet, but he did explain at a conference in October why he decided not to discipline her.

“I felt that we had to take context into account,” he said. “And context, in that case, included what was going on in America. ... I've not ever experienced prejudice, certainly not racism. So, it's even hard for me to understand what they're feeling about this, what it feels like to experience racism. And so I felt that we needed to take into account what Jemele and other people at ESPN were feeling in this time, and that resulted in us not taking action on the tweet that she put out.”

“Context” is the key word. The context around Hill's tweet was very different from the context around Barr's. The White House contends, however, that Iger should have taken the same approach to both tweets.

At some point, Trump retweeting racist and anti-Semitic tweets, supporting racists and anti-Semites, making anti-Brown (or different) people your premier foreign and domestic policy objectives, tells us something about him. We are not just talking about dog whistles, we are talking about blaring horns.

In fairness, a reasonable case can be made for the primary motivation of black-on-black crime, which one could conclude would be poverty.
If your position is that violent crime is predicated by genetics, I really have nothing to say to you. If on the other hand you entertain the notion that the current condition of black American social structure is formed to some extent by poverty, I believe we can have a discussion.

Let's be honest, very little good comes from social media. It is one of the leading causes of child suicide because bullying now can go on all day and most of the night.

Another negative is all the racism associated with social media. There was a time 20-30 years ago when it seemed racism was starting to be minimalized, not eliminated, but definitely less than in the 50s/60s. That is no longer the case with Internet and media outlets spewing hatred on a daily basis.

Imo kids should be banned from using social media & smart phones (except for calls), until they're 18. There is just too much negativity and adult topics for kids to be kids.
