I don't understand this "She has nothing left to lose argument" from people who don't think Roseanne is racist.

Is the only thing that stops you from saying racist things is that you would suffer consequences for it? Is someone who is only racist when there aren't consequences somehow not still a racist?

Caution, you're acting like our "hate" towards Roseanne pushed her towards this...but no amount of people calling me racist is going to make me say "Fine! Then I'll just say racist things!" because I'm not racist. I understand that argument when you're talking about "being presidential" or something like that, but not here.

More than likely. I mean, right wingers are the same bunch that ponder why atheists don't go around killing whoever they want because they don't believe a god(s) will punish them for it.

This is the argument that really makes me laugh.."you don't believe in god? Where do you get your morals from!?"....Ummm, My family and my desire to not be a terrible person? Some of them would just resort to doing terrible things if they didn't have god, i guess...

Because! Because it's "OK" in our society to compare Trump to an ape, Bush to a monkey, and if Roseanne thought she wasn't black...

Do you see where I'm going with this? Yes, saying that to a person of African American descent is worse.

But this is dumb. We can't find it permissable to insult X people, and not being able to insult Y people. We all agree it's "worse", but when our society deems it acceptable to judge others based off looks - this creates a bad atmosphere. An atmosphere where something like this happens.

And this is why yesterday, and all days before this, I've been saying "all judgements of people's race, features, weight, and height need to stop in this country." None of that should be acceptable. Shouldn't matter what their race is. All insults based off someone's physical features need to stop.

Just because I speak out in favor of Trump doesn't mean I agree with everything he posts. I think he's done really well, economically, for this country so far, and that's more important than small time stuff.
