Roseanne Barr

Yeah but you sound smart when you spout off stuff like that. It’s the cool thing to do, all the cool kids are doing it.PJ_Soul said:
I for one have no outrage, let alone the manufactured kind, haha.benjs said:
Honestly, it'd give me a lot more faith in humanity than this bullshit we're seeing here. Nine pages (and counting) because of manufactured outrage that we don't consider Ivanka Trump being called a c**t as egregious as Roseanne Barr equating black people (not one individual, but literally all dark-skinned humans) with apes. The modern state of affairs is beyond astounding to me. This is why I come on here and preach doom and gloom - because we, as a race, are FUBAR. Common sense is completely uncommon, and human decency is a myth on a global scale.cincybearcat said:
No it;s just that the other topic would be a 100% circle jerk as everyone agrees. You want 100 pages of ...benjs said:
Meanwhile, it's truly a testament to the power of distraction that on a thread titled Roseanne Barr, created about her abhorrent comparison of black persons to apes, we're talking about the validity of the c-word.PJ_Soul said:
Exactly. Singling out the c-word makes absolutely no sense at all.tbergs said:
Abused women, children and men are called a lot of things which include every swear word you can think of, so that would be like saying every swear word is dehumanizing. Bitch is a female dog in heat and is the only one I can think of that derives from an animal. We shit, fuck and piss so the rest have all derived from some part of our anatomy or bodily functions.fife said:HesCalledDyer said:cincybearcat said:
Because like it or not, words take on meanings and become worse than other words....and the c-word is one of those bad words. Its a dehumanizing way to degrade a woman.tbergs said:Just an observation, but it seems most on here are also refraining from actually typing the word "cunt" and opting for c-word, but we've all dropped other cuss words without a second thought. Is it because it does carry more weight in our current culture or because we're afraid the mods will become upset, which goes back to my first point?But is it, though? LIke I mentioned before, the US seems to be the only majority English-speaking nation that has a problem with it. I call my male friends cunts quite a bit. Has nothing to do with dehumanzing a female and I don't think of females or female anatomy when I call them that, nor is it the intended reference. It's just my way of saying "you fucking idiot!" Like the English & Aussies do.American women are also often digusted & offended by another word. Next thing you know we won't be able to say "moist" in public.there are so many issues with this post.1st off, its not just a US issue.2nd do you call your female friends the c-word alot also? i find it interesting that you write male friends instead.3rd, I know many woman who have been called c by men who were abusive toward them. it is a dehumanzing term.4th, i like how you just basically say to woman to suck it up about words and then compare the C word to moist
Context is everything. If you call an abused woman a stupid jerk while she's being abused, that is no better at all. But that isn't stopping people from saying stupid jerk.
"Yup racist"
"Yes siree that's racist"
"Wow racist comment there"
"That there is Racist"

Bee just lost state farm and auto trader as sponsors.
Autotrader declined to elaborate on its decision in a statement to HuffPost.
Insurance company State Farm shortly followed suit.
“We have asked TBS to suspend our advertising in the program and are reviewing any future placements,” the company told The Wrap. “We constantly review programs to ensure alignment to our programming guidelines and brand values.”

Ugh, that's a grim slippery slope, given the circumstances. This really has gotten stupid, and not because we're talking about it..... The last thing anyone needs is for America to dig deeper into that puritanical "morality" trap on cable television. I actually thought America was improving a bit on that front, and now this.
How far will advertisers go when it comes to comedians insulting public figures I wonder? (I mean outside of blatant racism obviously)

this approach is why trump supporters think that us liberals are pussies. i am tired of taking the high ground, but we are never, ever going to lure his base away from him. our energy is better spent staying above it and just trying to get our vote out.brianlux said:
Well said, pjh. No, we should not lower ourselves to his level. Any opposition to Trump should be well thought out, mature, and strategic.pjhawks said:
exactly. Samantha Bee was 100% out of line. You shouldn't and cannot call a woman that on television. yes I dislike almost everything about this administration but her point could have been made so much better without that line. it totally obscured the point she was trying to make.brianlux said:Grown American adults name calling. Proof yet again the America had largely become an immature, dysfunctional nation of over-grown adolescents.
I also think it's total bullshit people calling out Ivanka for posting a picture on Instagram with her child because of the administration's immigration policies. Really people? come on she was posting a picture of herself and her child. it wasn't a political statement. it was a mom posting a pic. nothing more nothing less.
I have to wonder what is the right tact today. Should us opposed to Trump and his policies lower ourselves to his level to battle him? I get you want to fight a bully but maybe the tact should be less that he is an asshole and more of why he is an asshole. I feel we are losing touch with the issues by just name calling him and his administration all the time. As I said above Samantha Bee could have made a great point without calling Ivanka what she did. By calling her a name she made her point so much less compelling. We on the other side need to take a lesson from this."You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln

you are making a bad point. samantha bee has her own show. her. own. show. she can say what she wants. you and i are guests on someone else's forum. we have to play by their rules or we get warned or banned. false equivalency.cincybearcat said:
Ask Kat why that name calling is rude, vulgar and awful.....cause if I called you that I'd get a warning / ban here wouldn't I? Words like that are intended to dehumanize the person being attacked. That's not a good thing. She could have said any number of profane words and it wouldn't be as big a deal....she went for 1 of the worst words she could think of to get attention....and it worked, just not the attention she wanted.tbergs said:
Ok, yes, you can be upset about both and all, but I don't think that is what anyone is arguing against. The main point is that name calling, while rude and childish, does not garner the same impact. You find calling someone the C-word horrible, why? You are obviously entitled to your opinion and have every right to be mad about it, but in the scheme of things, who cares? I wouldn't care if Kellyanne called Hillary the same name, but I'm sure some hardcore liberals might feign the same outrage conservatives are spewing now over Bee.cincybearcat said:So since it appears people on AMT have lost their collective minds due to trump overload... let me run it down for you:
1) you can be upset/outraged whatever you want to call it about Rosanne and believe it was a racist tweet and...
2) still think Samantha Bee using the c-word on TBS in reference to another woman is horrible and....
3) think it was terrible when Rush and others attacked a young Chelsea Clinton in horrible ways and...
4) think that the US needs gun control.
I would have thought it was obvious but since everyone is deflecting maybe it wasn’t.
Much like Bee, Ivanka is an adult and her actions and choices are going to be criticized and may outrage people to the point of where they say some vulgar things which are in direct correlation to their action/inaction on certain issues."You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln

she has been out of the spotlight for 22 days.. maybe she is doing 28 days in rehab somewhere? maybe she is talking to mueller. she is not going to camp david this weekend, so maybe she is moving back home? nobody knows.josevolution said:
