Roseanne Barr going racist

[mbus]

@mbus

Barr has her problems, pile on if it makes you feel better.

I’m old, I remember freedom of speech before the intolerant left began hounding people out of business and their jobs. When an American could speak his mind on his own time and not be fired for it.

That was freedom.

Now its pc tyranny.

She should have fought back, as she started to do. It wasn’t racist, it was a joke. She could have won with a large part of the public behind her.

Oh dear…

@enki

stop engaging. it won’t end.

It’s a tactic. I stopped engaging 4 or 5 (?) years ago.

[WildRose]

Only after much self inflicted humiliation. You learned you lack the ability to successfully engage me and bailed.

This is true.

Dixie Chicks. PC tyranny, you say?

[Yakshi]

They pretty much have resigned themselves to believing that if they post last, they win.

Stamina and having nothing else to do being more important than truth, you know.

Haven’t read the word “octoroon” in the last 100 posts, so I’m seeing progress.

LBJ is on record as using racist language I can’t even repeat here.

That’s because he was a Texas racist.

@SimplyTrying

@WildRose

What precisely does his being from Texas have to do with it?

Nothing.

…

Then why did you make it central to your point?

This is hilarious!

Do you deny he was a racist?

Do you deny he was from Texas?

The statement was completely factual.

The funny part of it is that it is straight out of the WR playbook. It’s the EXACT thing you do.

I’m enjoying your discomfort with it immensely.

Errr, Simply Trying didn’t say he was a racist from Texas. He said he was a “Texas racist,” and that implies that he was a particular form of racist - a Texas racist - because as we all are supposed to know Texas spawns a particular breed of racist.

That sure as hell is what it looks like.

A Texas racist is a racist from Texas. Easy peasy.

[Yakshi]

Your reply says more about you and how you strain to read between the lines than it says about anyone.

Wildrose, is that you?

[MarkyS]

No strain necessary on my part.

The strain in trying to correct the faux pas of a prejudicial comment about the entire state is funny, however.

[Yakshi]

He just said what he meant and explained it for you. You’re just looking for additional meaning where there is none. Don’t be so sensitive.

[Borgia]

What was nonfactual?

[MarkyS]

So, We’re not supposed to be offended because it was a FACTUAL implication?

He made it clear that he was a TEXAS racist - a form of racist. Why even BOTHER to mention that he was from Texas - EXCEPT to imply that this made it clear why he was a racist?

We get it. We have heard it BEFORE.

[PizzaReverend]

If I say “A Texas Man made some good BBQ for me the other day,” does that imply a Texas Man is different category of man from say a California Man?

Signed, A formerly California Man who lives in Texas

[Borgia]

So you agree it was factual. So what’s the problem?
