Hillarys comments "They All Look Alike"

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.

Oooo… this is a new angle.

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

ToT:

Do any of us, really know anyone?

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

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

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.

ToT:

lol - First - When you have Sneaky jumping in on your side, you should probably take a better look at your position. Because the likelihood that you are wrong has just increased by about 99.9%.

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.

ToT · 2018-11-05T17:29:38.574Z

WuWei:

That looks like a personal attack.

Saying that I think your opinion is wrong 99.9% of the time?

I think you’re wrong about that too.

as if the pink hatters would do any different if it were Hillary running

You compare yourself to a Pink Hatter? Good to know

Ok, if you say so.

Thanks OP, not going to vote for Hillary next time.

Yep. Same here. Haven’t voted for her or any other Clinton in my life, and will definitely not start now.

Adroit… You should honestly ask yourself this question…If Trump had mad that very same statement would you call it sarcasm?

A person that was shown hostility towards people of color and said his biggest regret was his condemnation of the groups at Charlottesville and said there were very fine people on both sides? The guy who’s more quick to call Kapp a son of a bitch for peacefully protesting police brutality?

Yeah, he’d totally be using sarcasm in that scenario.

The best weapon against racism and racist tropes is humor.

Unless it’s a conservative who said that.
