Pretty obvious this was a very dumb thing to say. No matter if it was a joke, taken the wrong way, or taken exactly how she meant it. Dumb, insensitive and bigoted thing to say.
My only wish that those who claim to be outraged by this, didn't have selective outrage about racism and bigotry. Why do I say this? No outrage over Joy Reids bigoted comments. No backlash. No protests to lose sponsors or her job. Nothing happened to her. MSM largely silent over it. In fact, what does she get to do? Have a discussion on TV about how bad Roseanne's comments are. From one bigot to another. Great job by MSNBC. Pro tip: both are bad and neither should get a pass on it. Only a few reasons why Reid got a pass on it that I can think of. If a Fox host did what she did, it would be a totally different story Those who deny this, are either a liar, ignorant ,or naive.
But thats libs for you. Do as I say, not as I do. Those who claim to be outraged over this, but not over Reid are hypocrites. Plain and simple. Of course it wont be admitted, instead I'll get attacked, probably named called, etc. Instead of taking a stand against all bigotry. Its only bad when the right does it, not the left. This happens time and time again. Many posters in this thread are guilty of it.
