Your bitter post just goes to show that nothing that has been rationally said here will ever get through your mind.

The "T" is that you are blaming the wrong people/ reason or whatever for your shortcomings.

The civil rights movement took a long time...so will this one. Go take a cold shower hunny!

Scapegoating is never a rational way to argue.
I have noticed that none of the self proclaimed homosexuals on this message board want to discuss this article.

Hits a home run doesn't it.

You say she's in the minority, but then you say that it's ok for blacks that support the No campaign to be called the N word because the majority of blacks voted yes?

Makes no sense to me...

Perhaps the black community as a whole choose to pick their allies and friends a tad more careful than is liked.

You are who you associate with and a large portion of black america that I know consider homosexuality to be wrong. Thats just how they feel as a group and the protesters in Calif just need to oh gosh I cant resist "get over it" and move on

Oh and Hi JDubsmum

Christianity is on its way down too. Christian sociopaths have to grab onto something to hoist their religion up before it finally dissipates (crashes and burns).
Wow, talk about a vapid hate speech worthy of govt intervention........

There ya go again with that "filth" word.................Next are we to assume this thread will begin to devolve with the fully spelled N word??????
The balck voting community of California voted their consciense and they as a voting block owe no one an apology for that, as they owe no one an apology for who or how they voted for in the election.

I despise discrimination on any level. But in regards to Roseanne Barr, her stock dropped with me overnight on one incident that I didn't see posted on this thread.

In a Major League baseball game at Qualcomm stadium in San Diego, in July of 1990 I believe, she sang about the most wretched version of the National Anthem one could perform (it's on youtube). People there stated that she sounded like an alley cat being electrocuted off a power line, and done it on purpose. There are two versions to the story; hers being that she couldn't hear herself sing so was singing louder (yelling or screeching louder?). Others claiming she was screeching on purpose.

What happened after the singing is certainly not under dispute. She stepped away from the microphone, grabbed her crotch for several seconds, then built up a nice shot of saliva and loogie, pressed her nostril, and let one fly, or maybe a few of 'em fly.

I never heard of her decision about that little tidbit but it was clear that she was disrespecting the game, the song, the two baseball clubs, and the fans in the stands.

People who don't have respect for other people don't have respect for themselves.
There are several articles you can google to see more about the story.

I do remember this incident. I remember it doing a lot of damage to her career at that time.

Where do these disapproving views of divorce and unwed pregnancies come from? The Bible?

It doesn't make it right her attacking people and calling them bigots and ignorant, it's none of her dam business how the black people voted or how anyone else voted for that matter. Maybe she should think about how many whites and hispanics voted the same way and for the same reasons,IMO she used that for an excuse because she has a problem with black people.
