Okay media if you called for Roseanne's firing then Samantha Bee has to go

[Frankeneinstein]

In order to find a Double Standard you need the same action in two different places, treated differently.

Two things cannot be defined as "the same action" merely because they both offend you (if they do).

I'm offended by both obnoxious radio commercials and by finding raisins in my cereal. That doesn't make them the same thing.

while all this is true it ignores the fact that they are the same thing, in fact pretending or believing they are not is a double standard...simply explaining what a double standard is only means you intend to separate the 2 through semantics...

Pretending that it was profanity instead of misogyny is a specious argument, part of what made sams tirade so much more of an egregious [is there such a word as "fire-able"?] offense is that she actually used what the left pretends is a misogynist word to punctuate her hysterical rant and all because she is not getting her way while rosanne did what you did, she implied something that is not true but never actually said it...samantha b has said herself that there is no excuse for what she did meaning even she thinks defending her actions are wrong.

If people cant call women *****, people cant call men dicks
If we cant say a woman that looks like a monkey, looks like a monkey, white people shouldnt be called called cracker for being white like a cracker.

I hope one day black people can get in trouble for saying honky or cracker or even white boy

You can call a black woman a **** but not the n word

Days ago, Roseanne Barr tweeted what was taken as a racist statement/joke. She said Valerie Jarret was the offspring of the Muslim Brotherhood and Planet of the Apes.

Okay Media. If You Called for Roseanne’s Firing, then Samantha Bee Has to Go.

That's right most hypocrites don't get what is fair is fair. If one can't get away with it nobody should get away with it. Just another area where people are up to their heads in knee deep bs actions that keep happening. The people with right minds are SICK OF THE PC BS!!

The C-word is vulgar, not racist. I'd fire her, yes, but apparently that's how we talk these days.

So saying something racist is worse than saying something that is vulgar? Seems the answer is yes!

To the left the "n" for instance is the Holy Grail of offensive words. In fact to the left, any racially charged word or comments, are held to a much higher degree of evil than other offensive words.

To me, the "c" word is every bit as evil as the "n" word. Both are used to debase another person, and both uses should be punished equally.

This all shows us very clearly how the left does not take the Women's movement for equality nearly as seriously as they put on.

This could be a gold mine for the conservatives in 2018 mid terms.

 

[Frankeneinstein]

So you don't know what you're talking about either. Thanks for clearing that down.

well, with all the left wing filters in place that is the only conclusion allowable that does not include an ism

 

[Penelope]

Actually I found Rosanne's show offensive and dumb, I never watched it before but had to turn it on now so I could see, never seen Bees show, I guess it's on later at night.

Rosanne , in her show, is offensive because she was in a store stealing stuff, and well she made poor people look stupid.

A woman calls another woman a **** is not the same as a white calling blacks names.

Now you guys are politically correct?

 

[Pop23]

yep, no one had a chance to even ask for it to be done!

A. They should boycott ABC

B. Another channel should pick up the show

FYI
Roseanne broke their contract....
Otherwise they could not fire her...

Cons shouldn’t be mad at USA for sticking with Sam b or abc for firing rosanne they should wonder why no other station will touch rosanne.

Gee, it's been a whole 2 or 3 days after all.

No station wants to be associated with rosanne. No one cares about Ivanka feelings but offend an entire race and what channel will pick you up? Not BET

Yep, use that in the mid terms. Women are nothing more than their vag's. Sound like a winning attitude to me (Not). But roll with that. K?

 

[Pogo]

Sooooo you don't get the difference between racism and profanity?

yes, it is inexcusable racism when one side of the aisle uses it and completely understandable profanity when the other side engages in it, that is what the hub-bub is all about, because it is the left that doesn't understand the difference

Did Roseanne use profanity?

is she in hollywood? of course she does, just not in the misogynist way sam does

Did Samantha Bee comment on something over which her subject has no control?

yes? no? maybe? I have no clue

It ain't rocket surgery.

If you make a racist crack about a target, you're commenting on a trait of that target that is a circumstance of birth -- her race. She has no control over that (if 'control' were even desirable).

That cannot be compared with a different comment about a target's behaviour, which is something the target CAN control.

Simple enough?

You'll have to explain where the "misogyny" is. I offered that question to Pop23 and he whiffed on it. Batter up.

 

[Pogo]

Should be treated the same way, but it wont be.

Explain why they are the same.

Roseanne demeaned African-Americans with her comments. Samantha Bee did the same thing to women.

Where exactly did Samantha Bee address (or comment on) "women"?

Another question PopPop whiffed on.

You do understand the word women is plural --- right?

Lemme guess -- you have no clue what I'm talking about.

I doubt you even do. It's kinda how you roll

Yeah if you could, you know, go ahead and answer any of those questions, that'd be great.

Or admit you can't.

Oh I did you cvnt, made you look like a simpleton by doing so as well.

God I love doing that to you.

Don't call me "God" just because I'm smarter than you. It's actually not much of a bar.

ABC fired her before anyone had a chance to complain

yep, no one had a chance to even ask for it to be done!

A. They should boycott ABC

B. Another channel should pick up the show

FYI
Roseanne broke their contract....
Otherwise they could not fire her...

Entertainment contracts typically have a "morality clause" that protects the producer/broadcaster from having to continue to associate with a talent that embarrasses it.

Both were meant to demean. Both should be viewed the same way.

That may be true but once AGAIN that doesn't make them THE SAME THING.

The whole basis of the OP is the claim that two incidents of the same thing might be treated differently. That's a false premise.

Also, Roseanne's comments were seen by people who use Twitter.
Bee used the "c" word on her show itself, on a major cable network.

I agree with you that the "c" word is demeaning to women, but DD, this is the era where we elected a guy who brags about "Grabbin' 'em by the Pussy!" and referred to M. Kelly's period to describe her "mood," so I am pretty surprised that suddenly so many folks here are concerned.
It's heart warming.

Did the person you are referencing say that in a public forum, as a part of a contract? Was is vetted by his production staff, and network attorneys prior to release?

 

[Pogo]

If people cant call women *****, people cant call men dicks
If we cant say a woman that looks like a monkey, looks like a monkey, white people shouldnt be called called cracker for being white like a cracker.

Sounds fair to me.

Is that where 'cracker' comes from? I never did know.

Or care.

So, what Roseanne said wasn't Racist. Thanks.
