It's nice for a show to come out and say "being a Trump supporter is OK. It means you're still a human. It means that person isn't necessarily a racist. It means that person can be a good person." It is, thankfully, normalizing people that SHOULD be normalized.

No it shouldn't Trump supporters are awful ignorant people and their decisions should rightfully be called out for what they were. Those stupid ass blue collar workers are getting fucked left and right thanks to Trump, in fact, even harder now because a company just took the tax money, closed up state shops and gave a finger on the way out.

the revival of the show has been nothing but a conservative circlejerk making fun of liberals anyway. or at least so i've heard. i wouldn't be caught dead watching that shit.

That shit is just too funny. You should have started that sentence with Im 100% talking out of my ass, but....

You guys are just too funny. Conservatives group together 10 people when 9 are similar and they get attacked, liberals group together a million people when 2 are similar and its totally fine. Hilarious.

He's not wrong in the sense that I've seen people treat Fox's revival of the show as a "HA! take that Liberals!"...When in reality no Liberal cared that much about the show when it was on and don't care that its back on now...

She's hardly the first. There are a fair number of comedians out there who can't adapt their humor to a changing world. What was laugh-out-loud funny thirty years ago, becomes groan-inducing twenty years ago, becomes nervous chuckle ten years ago, becomes offensive today.

The saddest ones are those that blame the audience for not liking the material anymore.

meh, personally i thought you were probably overstating whatever it was that you were referring to, so i looked it up and, yeah, it does seem like a pretty damning precedent

here's to being pleasantly surprised, i suppose


why would something like this surprise you in a country with a large population who were alive during Jim Crow? even the president(of school age during the Little Rock Nine event) likely didn't even have Black "friends" until he became a celebrity. ABC wanting to "protect" it's oldest demographic sounds expected, if anything.

Roseanne Barr has prompted online outrage after a racist and Islamophobic tweet that attacked former Obama White House adviser Valerie Jarrett.

The sitcom star falsely alleged that Jarrett, who was born in Iran to American parents, has connections to the Muslim Brotherhood, and compared her to an ape. Barr wrote Muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby=vj, using Jarretts initials.

Barr, one of Donald Trumps most high-profile supporters, apologized for the post shortly afterwards and announced shed be quitting Twitter. She also deleted the tweet.

Barr was replying to a post from a user that accused Jarrett, a long-serving adviser to the president, of covering up the Obama administrations alleged misdeeds.

When a Twitter user told Barr that her tweet was offensive and racist Jarrett is African American Barr responded by writing: Muslims r NOT a race.

Shortly after, Barr reiterated her stance in another post: ISLAM is not a RACE, lefties. Islam includes EVERY RACE of people.

Eventually, Barr apologized. She wrote: I apologize to Valerie Jarrett and to all Americans. I am truly sorry for making a bad joke about her politics and her looks. I should have known better. Forgive me my joke was in bad taste.

"It was just a joke"

This bitch can fuck off

This.

Plus she's also not actually sorry it was just a half assed attempt at salvaging her rapidly crumbling career which is going to be Rick Moranis level soon.

either you misunderstood my post or i am misunderstanding yours. i'm not pleasantly surprised that ABC refused to air an episode of Blackish that dealt with the NFL kneeling protests. i'm pleasantly surprised that they cancelled Roseanne despite me expecting them not to because of their precedent of appeasing the alt-right with the Blackish decision.


ah yes, I misunderstood.

i know enough. i had some particular moments from the first episode described to me by someone who watched it.

Well it was only the first episode, and it wasn't entirely a "haha take that libruls" thing. Even Jackie takes a few politically charged potshots at Roseanne with massive applause in the audience.

Whether you like Roseanne or not, you can't deny that her show was extremely popular. There were 3 black actors on the show who lost their roles because of the cancellation. If you support ABC's decision to cancel her show then you're the one who's really racist against black people, not Roseanne.

Actually, the show dumps on conservatives as well. One episode in particularlar, outright mocks the paranoia and fear mongering that conservatives revel in.

uh... hate to break it to you but i don't go around stealing countries because im white. im not responsible for whatever atrocities occurred in the past by people who were white. why does this have to be explained? never mind the fact that every race has been involved in conquering other nations throughout history.

so yes, Sykes is racist as fuck. she's a morally reprehensible hypocrite and racist
