There are consequences for your actions and words. She tweeted this stuff. It's her fault. Also, "many years ago" would be more then six years in my book. I'm not outraged by her words. Heck, I never had heard of her until today.

She dug her own sty. Let her wallow in it.
Right, is she truly sorry for what she said or only sorry now that she was outed?

We've become a society of rabid dogs waiting for the next person to misstep. The response to whatever the outrage du jour is, says more about the rabid dogs than it says about the person who may have, even for just one moment, done or said something inappropriate.

Life is simple - if you want to be forgiven for being momentarily stupid, you need to let it go when others are.

Many of you are perpetually outraged, which disproves your assertion. Outrage overachievers, if you will.

Be prepared, situational outrage in a can, head on a swivel and all.

I don't particularly care what my mechanic thinks about Trump, Hillary, broccoli, homosexuals, white people, brown people, any people, and so on. I do care about his competence with cars.


We're seeing that 'Me Too!!!' witch hunt turning in on itself, which of course is hilarious; it seems there just aren't enough sinless people out there to keep it going. lol Not to mention most of those in the media biz would screw a trainload of goats in the Hollywood Bowl on Easter Sunday if it got them a part in a big movie or a TV show.
Here here! I absolutely agree. As long as her makeup is good, who cares what she thinks? The Internet has turned into the thought police. And there’s no forgiveness for past sins. A race car driver lost a sponsorship for something his father said before he was even born. This is getting out of hand.

How do you feel about it? Even though it was many years ago do you feel she still deserves to be punished?
I think she should apply to the new York times for a gig. They love them some racists over there.
