    Was that about Roseann Barr? Given the taunts and insults coming from Democrats on a daily basis, it's actually hard for me to believe they are so protective of the person we know of as VJ. Did Democrats identify said initials?

    I do not believe Rosenn did. She needs to quit whining. Democrats never forgive others though lord knows they want to be forgiven.

    I can recommend some books on the Iraq war so you will become educated. Would you like reading the experts on that topic?

    She is one person. What did you object to? Are you aware she removed it very quickly?

    So racism is ok if you quickly figure out people don’t approve of it?

    I think it was comparing someone with ape like facial features to an ape.
    Did you hear. Fonda's movie made a whole $30,000 its first weekend while ABC # 1 SHOW is still canceled

    I heard her screaming, but didn't see her.
    Probably drugs. But clearly needs help no matter what.

    Yes I know what a racist is. I also know what an ******* looks like:

    "So (if) some cracker come and tell you ‘Well, my mother and father blood go back to the Mayflower,’ you better hold your pocket. That ain’t nothing to be proud of. That means their forefathers was crooks." -Sharpton

    "If the Jews want to get it on, tell them to pin their yarmulkes back and come over to my house." -Sharpton

    What does that have to do with being racist? They call each other nggrs too. My black buddies used to call us white guys crackers. But they weren't racist. It was just the lingo of the culture. Likewise, Hawaiians call whites Haoles. But it isn't necessarily racist. It can be used as a racist slur but also a harmless term. I call myself a Haole when I'm there. And I refer to myself as a cracker sometimes when hanging with someone who is black.

    That being said, in my experience blacks are typically more racist than whites. But they have reason to be. Severe oppression occurred within the lifetimes of people alive today. That one black Congressman who has been around forever, I forget his name, was beaten nearly to death by cops in Birmingham, during the marches when the cops turned the water hoses on them.

    For decades blacks taught their children "Never trust whitey". And they were right to do so back then.

    So blacks tend to be more racist than whites, okay. So does that make it okay? Wish we could get away from the racism but it's tough when racists like Sharpton keep fanning the flames.

    Ahh, Rosanne wishes death on 6 million Jews.
    The attention whore must be real lonely and needs attention.

    'Rosanne Barr Says ‘Nobody Died in The Holocaust’ in Utterly Unhinged Rant'
    By Candice OrtizJun 27th, 2023, 12:57 pm

    'Comedian Roseanne Barr made some utterly bizarre remarks about the Holocaust in a recent podcast appearance.

    On the June 14 edition of This Past Weekend, a podcast hosted by fellow comedian Theo Vonn, Barr appeared as a guest to discuss her career and world views. At one point during their discussion, Barr began talking about the 2020 election and regulations on truth in America.

    “Nobody wants to hear the real truth. They’re horrified of it, rather go with bullshit. It’s easier,”

    snip

    'And that is the truth. And nobody died in the Holocaust either. That’s the truth. It should happen. Six million Jews should die right now cause they cause all the problems in the world. But it never happened. But it never happened — Mandated,” Barr said — before noting that she is Jewish.'

    Watch above via This Past Weekend with Theo Von podcast.'

    The case has been closed on Barr for a long time.

    "'Roseanne Barr Breaks Down in Tears in First Interview Since Racist Tweet: 'Don't Defend Me'
    "I've done something egregious and I don't want to be defended," Roseanne Barr said while addressing her racist tweet", By Associate Editor, Human Interest - PEOPLE, Published on June 24, 2018 03:19PM EDT.
    https://people.com/tv/roseanne-barr-apologizes-racist-tweet-no-excuse-ignorance/

    She clearly knows she is an idiot and should have stopped right there.

    how is something from 2018 in the CURRENT EVENTS section? Oh yeah, i forgot, the left has to time travel to find racism because there isn't enough currently happening to satisfy them. as far as Rosanne, she got what she deserved for her ignorant comment, however, we all know that if it was a black celebrity saying negative thigns about whites, they wouldn't be kicked from a show, they'd get PROMOTED

    The thread started in 2018, and what happened in 2018 shows that Barr has known better for a long time.
    But, you are right this latest self destructive ignorant rant probably does deserve a new thread.

    I would think she would have thought about the current political climate:

    However:
    We All Know that IF it was Bigfoot saying negative things about Bat Boy, they wouldn't be kicked from a show, they'd probably be given the keys to the network...
