Hillarys comments "They All Look Alike"

lol - I know, right?

It is a racist joke in that it is meant to show that white people only see the skin color, not the person. So that being said since whites only see the brown skin…blacks all look alike. Hillary, in essence, was calling the interviewer a racist when she said…they all look alike. And furthermore, it’s understood to be a racist slam to say they all look alike.

I’m not interested in discussing what you imagine would have happened.

TheDoctorIsIn:

Emotions and confirmation bias are real,

Yes we noticed.

Smyrna:

The word racism is a word that has lost it’s meaning because it’s so blatantly misused. This thread is another example IMO. Hillary was making fun of the person who mixed up the two and nothing more. Here it is…judge for yourselves.

Oh my...Hillary Clinton you racist... "Hillary Clinton corrects interviewer who mixed-up...." - YouTube

212 posts later this thread is still blathering on LOL. The very first reply probably should have been the end of it. It was a fairly lighthearted and clever jab at the interviewer on Hillary’s part, nothing more.

Do I know you?

Do any of us, really know anyone?

Were you on the other forum?

Yes.

10 char

No problem with her joke… it’s about the context and past statements.

If Donald said this, I would have a problem. He hasn’t earned the right to make jokes about black people.

It seems that the split isn’t exactly along ideological lines. Some liberals thought it was tasteless, crude, and/or racist. Others just shrugged it off as a joke.

Conservatives seem to be on both sides as well.

It led to interesting conversation . . . for a while.

TheDoctorIsIn · 2018-11-05T00:30:21.325Z

Oooo… this is a new angle.

You’re saying that her joke was racist against white people?

I don’t even know myself. But I’m trying.

Read my post again. That’s not at all what I said.

hwyflier · 2018-11-05T00:39:27.083Z

I really think sneaky said it correct.

She thinks she has a pass. In that context, she was making a joke.

If you don’t believe Hillary has a pass, it’s very much a what the hell did you just say moment.

Hillary ought to check her privilege.

Also, protip: If you’re not a comedian, pay a comedian to write your jokes for you.

Oof. Seems a little extra cringey when I make that sentence stand by itself

TheRedComet · 2018-11-05T00:47:46.375Z

Neither has Hillary.

TheDoctorIsIn · 2018-11-05T00:49:22.029Z

I read your post, it’s all over the place.

You appear to either arguing that Hillary Clinton is racist against white people, or that accusations (even playful ones) of racism are themselves racist.

PurpnGold · 2018-11-05T02:10:52.517Z

She is definitely closer than Trump.

I do think she probably shouldn’t say that in public given her image of being out of touch. She may have joked like that with Obama but only in private.

TheDoctorIsIn:

I am not understanding your argument.

Are you claiming that only comedians make jokes?

Are they the only ones whose job it is to make jokes.

That looks like a personal attack. Let’s see where you’ve ever proven me wrong about anything. Ever.

ToT:

IT. WAS. FUNNY.

That is subjective. And wrong.
