Roseanne whacked, Kimmel still on

[Kaos]

Roseanne show cancelled for making a dumb joke.  

But Kimmel is still on.  

Double standard?

Did Jimmy say something racist?

I must have missed it.

Did she say something racist?  

I must have missed that too.  She made a joke about someone's appearance.  

What Kimmel, Colbert, Noah, SNL and all the rest do on a regular basis is far worse to me.

I get the bias throughout the media.  However, as soon as I heard Rosanne go Planet of the Apes, I thought this will have to be the shortest comedy mini-series in history.  She gone!

It was borderline.  

But how is it any worse than the nightly parade of vulgar offenses leveled by people like Seth Meyers?  

See, here's the problem.  Before this came out, USAToday had a big article from a "racism expert" (how is that even a thing?) talking about what's wrong with all us white people.  

This is part of the commentary: 

"While everyone has racial bias, I reserve the word 'racist' to describe the bias that white people have — our collective bias is backed by institutional power."

In other words ONLY WHITE PEOPLE CAN BE RACIST.  

That's wrong.  So is completely losing any sense of humor about anything.  I wish you people (not you people, but you people) would watch one single episode of Match Game 77.  It's on GSN.  In any random episode you'll find something that would cost people jobs, get them arrested or require profuse apologies.  People used to have the ability to laugh at themselves.

Not sure...were there any African American Juggies?

You can’t say juggie on here, mister.

Fun bags?

So you find calling someone a offspring of the Muslim Brotherhood and Planet of the Apes funny?

People used to be respectful to others.

I too don't recall seeing Seth Meyers or Jimmy Kimmel calling someone a Ape due to their skin color.

YOU determined it was about skin color.  She wasn't calling the woman an ape, just commenting on her looks.  
ZERO difference between that and you or anybody else calling Trump a Cheeto.  Just a comment on her appearance. 

You lecturing anyone about being 'respectful' is absurd given the things you've said about our president and those who support the man or the office.

Bill Maher called Trump an Orangutan and he is still on the air

Seriously, have you seen this lady? She’s actually white. No kidding. I’ve seen white people that look more black.
So, I’m not going to argue that the tweet isn’t racist or that it wasn’t dumb. But to say she called her an ape because of her skin color? That’s just goofy.

Step back and look at your post. You're defending someone that said the black woman or mixed race (whatever you want to call it, Father is African-American and the mother I think is Iranian) looked like the offspring of the Muslim Brotherhood and Planet of the Apes. She stated that she looked like an Ape. But, you're going to defend that and think nothing wrong with it. What if she made that statement about one of Trump's advisors? You would be crying and moaning here like always.

If Trump were black or mixed...then yeah, he likely wouldn't still be on air.

Blatant racism right here.

It must suck being wrong or having to move the goal post all of the time, like you.

Shut up you cracker asses.

"Cracker" doesn't bother me, neither does "honkey", "white devil", or any racial slur towards me.

Do people here get offended by racial slurs towards them?
