So, we have an actress/comedian causing a show cancellation over it, yet the most offensive guy on the planet gets to play president while spouting negativity and inciting racism and hatefulness, ever since he arrived. When does his show get cancelled??
Come on. I agree Trump says so pretty ridiculous stuff.
That being said what racist comment has he said anywhere close to what Rosanne tweeted?
Ever hear of Paula Deen? Not only was her show cancelled because of her racial comments (N word), but retail stores pulled her cookware products off their shelves.
It even filtered down to her son, Bobby.
And just like the Rosanne debacle, the Deplorables tried to make her out to be the victim, and to create the false narrative that Dems don't speak out against their own when they screw up. Overwhelmingly, everyone said Griffin made her own bed.
The funny thing is, when a lefty star makes an idiotic comment, Righties think they don't have a right to express their opinion, or they say "they have a right, but I wish they'd just shut up", "their job is to entertain, not to bombard me with politics", blah blah blah.
But when a Righty slips up and let's it be known they are a racist, , then they all go into defending them, and spewing left-wing conspiracy theories.
Rosanne's comments are a surprise to nobody. Just like Trump, she's a bigot. Just like Trump, she thought she was invincible, and that her fans would support her no matter what. Unlike Trump, she was held accountable for her actions.
What's more entertaining is watching low-hanging fruit constantly throw out the term racist with every breath.
Firstly, you're confusing your metaphors. Secondly, when talking about actual racism, which the comment unquestionably was, it's actually appropriate to use the term racist. Matter of fact it's hard to have that discussion without using the term.
Wish I could say I was entertained by your post because then it might have some value.
Taking a knee is a form of peaceful protest that our military fought for back in the 1770s. Our Constitution entitles us to such forms of protest.
Urinating on someone's grave is a serious act of disrespect because you are basically saying the person's final resting place is a toilet.
Taking a knee has always been traditionalyl a small gesture showing our respect to the military and patriotism. It is neither the time or place to stage a protest, and for all the controversy, the kneeling accomplished nothing. They would have been better served by having an open forum to discuss police brutality.

It accomplished a lot. I can't think of an action that got the conversation that this has. There is NO such thing as a proper place for protest.

Sorry you're confused. I'm not here to entertain you Sparky.
Please provide factual evidence of the first alleged quote.
Trump described SOME Mexicans as criminals and rapists - specifically the ones who were committing crimes and raping people. But of course, the left never wants to tell the truth about that.
Trump did not do a "Muslim ban". He did a ban on countries (the same countries that Obama banned) where people could not be vetted before coming here. It's a little hard to vet people when the countries are being attacked by terrorists. CNN called it a "Muslim ban", but then again, the left isn't fond of the truth.
Even people from Africa were saying that Trump was right, their countries are 3rd world ****holes.
Being a birther doesn't make you a racist. It simply means that Obama was not vetted, everything was sealed and kept from us, so of course people are going to be suspicious. Doesn't help that his very own brother is on social media constantly stating that Obama was born in Kenya.
Who lives in the inner cities? When people talk about the inner cities, they aren't talking about white neighborhoods and you know it. So when he says that these people are living in hell, it's because they are. Inner cities are rife with crime. But you want to use that as some sort of political point as if anything he said was incorrect. Many innocent people live in inner cities and are subject to these crimes committed by other members in the area. He's not wrong, but you are so focused on race that you can't see the racism that you, yourself, are showing.
Please provide factual proof of him saying that Puerto Ricans were "politically motivated ingrates", unless you are talking about the government people in Puerto Rico who were NOT allowing aid to reach the people on the island who desperately needed it as they tried to score political points - making their speech in front of a warehouse full of pallets of help.
And for Charlottesville, that sentence has been worded in a way to completely and totally distort the actual context of what he was saying, but again, what can I expect from the left?
Please provide factual proof of Roy Moore endorsing slavery.
Please provide factual proof that Sheriff Joe treated only blacks or hispanics that way and not every single inmate at the prison.
Calling Warren "Pocahontas" is not racist. It's calling her out for lying about being a Native American. Talk about the ultimate in "cultural appropriation" that the left cries about all the time.
Please provide the tweet that you claim Trump posted of a 6 point star next to a pile of cash.
A Korean person not working on the relations between North and South Korea, and you call that racist? What better person than a Korean to work on those relations. How many times are we told that we don't get to say anything about certain demographics because we "don't understand". But now, suddenly, it's not okay to say, "Hey, this person would know better". How dull this cry is getting.
Please provide factual evidence of him calling "Miss America" "Miss Housekeeping".
And when I say "please provide factual evidence", I mean the entire quote, with all of the surrounding context, not how Don Lemon interpreted it on CNN.
So, going with your train of thought, if the left lies enough, that should be enough to canx the left.
Virtually every example made head line news from reputable sources, including many from Trump tweets. You are more than welcome to look up each one, assuming you look somewhere other than FOX.
Granted, some might be interpreted or spun to suit the listener but taken as a whole it is clear Trump has a serious racial bias against anyone that is not white. If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck … well …...
It accomplished a lot. I can't think of an action that got the conversation that this has.
The conversation was all about the action of the players, not police brutality. Nothing has changed on that front. A tv show panel with the players and police officers would have reached millions and accomplished a lot.

Sure there is. A venue where people can peacefully assemble and obtain a permit from the city is a proper place to protest. On the flip side, protesting in areas that disputes lives and does things like block traffic is NOT a proper place to protest.
Also, for most people, the workplace is not a proper place to protest. You are there to do a job and represent the values of the organization. And that is what the NFL are suppose to do. Represent the values of their team. One of those values is team unity and when you have some guys kneeling and others standing, that value is disrupted.

Don't expect me to take you seriously with your canned response.
