That didn't last long. ABC Cancels Roseanne after tweet about Obama aid.

And honestly, why would a school teach something so ridiculous? Not “it”, but teach that “it” was taught?

I'm not really the person to ask what Academia does or doesn't do anything. IIRC, I was introduced to the background as part of my intro to Criminal Justice classes at U of L. It covered a bunch of outdated ways of telling who criminals were by physical characteristics. Reading bumps on the head (phrenology, I think?) to determine personality, "morphic" body types (men who were too big were thugs and brawlers, men who were too small were burglars and pickpockets), etc. Then lead into the first "modern" techniques relying on physical characteristics (finger prints), etc.

When I turn a rock over, sometimes I find a worm, sometimes a snake. Most of the time I find nothing.

Some people, find racism every time, without fail. They think they have a gift. I believe it's a curse.

Right? Like outdoor basketball. I missed that shot because of the wind. And that one because of the sun. When I play indoor I can only blame myself for my problems. Better to play outside and get spotted 10 points a game

Are you saying this instance isn't racist, or are you just making a general statement?

 

[HoughMade]

I think he meant "Midnight Basketball"...and we all know what that means.

No one here has supported Rossane Barrs statement? Hollywood douchbags are gonna douchbag. Who cares? This ain't twitter or Facebook.

Thats either racist or fascist.... probably both.

I doubt anyone would be that foolish. Though, I have been surprised before.

I think I went to that at IU. Goofy for a midnight practice. But no, wasn’t referring to the anti-crime tactic

Roseanne is and always will be a nut job does anyone remember her past achievements!
“national anthem” performance?
Calming to a incest victim?
Dressing like Hitler?
Tweeting out the Zimmerman guy’s parents address?

 

[HoughMade]

Yeah, but she likes Trump so she's on OUR side!!!!!!!!!!!

I remember the first one and vaguely remember hearing something about the second, but had no idea on the last two.

 

[wagyu52]

Winner, winner.
Got rid of another Hollywood nut job and likely cost ABC billions, good day had by all.

People need to stop getting offended by what idiot celebrities, musicians, and politicians say. These people live in worlds that aren't based in reality and the consequences for their actions are a cancelled show or sponsor. You say that crap in the real world and you're getting curbstomped.

 

[BigBoxaJunk]

People need to stop getting offended by what idiot celebrities, musicians, and politicians say.

And, people also need to stop littering and stop eating too much junk food, but what are you going to do?

 

[Trigger Time]

Are you saying that you were clueless that some people refer to black people as monkeys? It was a totally alien concept to you, until today?

back then yeah.

 

[Trigger Time]

I doubt anyone would be that foolish. Though, I have been surprised before.

I dont really care what she said. I've heard more racist and violent comments from black celebrities than anything she said. Till theres just as equal treatment of their statements I'll continue to not give a ****. Hell I might even go buy the rosanne season on DVD and never even watch it

 

[Trigger Time]

Which black person?

where do you want me to start? How about the ones that called my daughter the "n" word and a ***** and told her they were gonna rape her? Not a damn thing was done either and an adult heard it and they have cameras too
We could start there.

I havent taught my kids to call ANYONE that word nor make threats and especialy not like that.
If she called them that she would have been expelled quicker than you could blink

I'm sure that could be said in many instances. Now here's the hitch, and plenty of people aren't going to like this... why are these tirades coming from Trump supporters? And when I say Trump supporters, I'm talking about people who leave no doubt their support for Donald Trump. People who are holding the signs, wearing the hats, going to the rallies, or make it known without a shadow of a doubt, that Donald Trump is their guy. Now, it's a fair question to ask why SOOOO many racist support Donald Trump. Why does he appeal to them... and their not your run of the mill racists, with two teeth, a slack-jaw, that chases their cousins. A lot of these people come straight from suburbia....people who don't "look" the part, as foolish as that sounds. Some would say that Trump has emboldened them, with his rhetoric, and inability to honestly disavow that component of his supporters.

And, before someone tries to create parity, inner-city knuckleheads from the hood, are hardly an apples to apples comparison. They would be the reverse side of the coin of the slack jaw racists.
