Meh I don’t consider that a good thing. People do stupid stuff. Everyone. You. Me. Everyone in this thread. Everyone on this planet. With social media it just takes one stupid remark to end a person. That's not a new thing in and of itself, but it what is new is that we now carry around the ability to broadcast that stupid remark to the entire world in our pockets every minute of every day.

You don’t see who they really are from one tweet. One little blip of 144 characters doesn’t give you any sense of who that is as a person. But that one tweet is all it takes.

And I’d be cautious of thinking it’s the best friend of the black community. They aren’t immune from doing stupid stuff. If an employer wants to (and they definitely will) get a quick look of somebody before they hire where do they go? Their social media accounts. Google search. Boom there it is, all kinds of stupid stuff or n words or pics partying or whatever it may be. Skip.

Roseanne has a history of fucked up tweets, including another one comparing ape like things to a black woman.

Remind me how Mexicans, Jews, Muslims, Gays whatever chose to be born what they are, compared to how Donald Trump and other Nazis actually chose to be hateful bigot asshole motherfucking Nazi pricks.

Please, continue to try and compare those two.

Now, I'll give you the language. That is one damn unprofessional series of tweets. I guess we'll see if that causes him a good bit of trouble. I am sure the Trumptardians will make sure that ABC/Disney are aware of it.
Ethnicity, race , sexual orientation people are born into, not religion or ideology regardless whether it's a sky fairy or Hitler that one worships, that comes from indoctrination only not genetics.

No one was born Muslim, christian, Hindu, Buddhist, atheist, agnostic, Wicca, etc., unless you are no smarter than the conservative birther idiots that believe Obama was born a Muslim because of his father being one at one time.

That’s not true. If you are born to religious parents that raise you in a religious household to be religious then yeah youre definitely born into it. It takes a lot to shake off everything you know to be true. Doable, but many (hell most) don’t.

I'm detecting a lot of hypocrisy on this issue. If a liberal got canned for stupid behavior the conservatives would be coming out to vouch for a private business' right to fire anyone on their payroll they want when they want for any reason. Or no reason. But when this happens to a conservative suddenly it's like the so-called liberal deep state conspiracy has risen up to squash and suppress dissenting free speech and expression.

I haven’t read through the whole thread (just the last page or two) has anyone even actually said that?

Indeed. Many don't get the chance to choose their indoctrination. And it really isn't something that's easy to shake.

what a shame. I wonder if the same people who are defending her here were defending her when she 'sang' the national anthem at a Padres game. I'm sure they were defending her, each and every one.
I think most of us prefer the version of America when both liberals and conservatives supported President Bush in criticizing Barr for her display of disrespect, with only some fringe voices and Madonna coming to her defense.

I am a conservative and most of the conservatives I know support the firing of Barr. What you attribute as hypocrisy is the outsized voice given to fringe elements empowered by social media and Trump.

I also sense some hypocrisy in the forgiveness extended to the liberal members of the cast. They knew exactly who Barr is and chose to join the revival to capture that oh so lucrative Trump controversy in a sitcom bottle. They normalized her by giving her another show and now they lament getting burned because she predictably kamikazed into the racist sun.

If you're born to Christian parents and raised christian then youre born into Christianity.

Obamas upbringing was obvious not like this. So your example could use some tweaking.

Couple drinks and impulse control goes out the window. A twitter account is a dangerous thing to have imo. We all do and say stupid shit. Problem with social media is those oop's get blasted to the rest of the world. As a result everything can disappear in the blink of an eye.

Not a problem I've had. Best not to join Twitter or Facebook if it's an existential threat to your career and livelihood.

This is only example #43573.

Stupid things come out of the mouths of stupid actors as usual.

Agreed:

However after last nights tweet storm and the obvious it’s not my fault because I took a ambian(spelling?) this looks more like a drinking or drug problem to me. Self sabotage and deflecting the blame to something that’s pretty unlikely.

If VP Pence gets sick of the bullshit and leaves, I know who his replacement will be.

sweet. I'm going to go choose to be Mexican, black, Jewish--I'm going to decide that my parents were African natives that immigrated from Morocco and that I was born in a south-side Chicago ghetto rather than the middle class white neighborhood in North Carolina where I was actually born.

I love being able to choose my parents and circumstance of birth! This is a fun world that you inhabit!

Could you share some of your mom's Moroccan recipes?

I chose Swedish for my made up ethnicity and am now starting to regret it; the food is just a bit too bland and Lutheran for me.

I do like driving the Volvo, and am getting used to drinking akvavit, so there's that...

/murderedbywords. I feel like they brought in the Wendy's social media team for an assist.

People of all races, religions and nationalities work at Sanofi every day to improve the lives of people around the world. While all pharmaceutical treatments have side effects, racism is not a known side effect of any Sanofi medication.
