    Ask yourself honestly if this describes what you believe to be true.
    If the answer is yes, you are a racist.

    I have never watched an episode of the original or the new show. I am not a fan.

    Your hero, Hillary made a racist comment, and you are pretending there is a difference when she does it. So you are saying it is okay to call black women buffalos.

    Your cognitive dissonance is showing.

    Hmmmm, the racist Evmetro seems to have mysteriously disappeared when confronted with his own racism.

    Your desperation is showing.

    Let me guess, you're a Trump supporter.

    Black women are the ultimate decider of whether Clinton's comment was racist or not .. not a Trump supporter.

    There are many reasons Hillary Clinton lost the 2016 presidential election, but a lack of support from black women isn’t one of them.

    According to exit polls, more than 90 percent of black women voted for Clinton, continuing the trend that few demographic groups are as faithful to the Democratic Party as African American women.

    You guessed wrong. We have discussed this before. I voted for Jill Stein.

    The number of voters does not mitigate the fact that Hillary called a black woman a brain dead buffalo. I'm not the one experiencing the cognitive dissonance. I imagine you'd say nothing at all if someone called a female in your family a buffalo.

    If I answer "no", you will call me a lying racist, and if I answer "yes", you will call me a racist. If I evade, I will still be called a racist, so why would you expect me to answer this arbitrary question if all answers lead to having you call me a racist anyway?

    Just insulting someone of another race isn't inherently racist. The problem with what Barr said is that comparing black people's appearance to apes or monkeys is a long standing racist meme. Even if she didn't mean it like that, it's just such a terrible association for her reputation and the reputation of ABC if they continued to employ her.

    Agreed. But Hillary called a black woman a buffalo and that's just fine with her supporters.

    If you weren't a racist you would not hesitate to answer.
    I understand.

    That is her right to say anything she wants about a public figure.
    It is still illegal to fire her over it.
    You might want to rethink that.

    "After a West Virginia nonprofit director referred to Michelle Obama as an “ape in heels” on Facebook in November, reports suggested that she was let go from her job — before it was revealed she was actually just suspended and would return to work shortly afterward. But now, after some back-and-forth, Pamela Ramsey Taylor has finally been fired for good, the Washington Post reports.

    Taylor, who served as the director of Clay County Development Corp., wrote in a November status, “It will be so refreshing to have a classy, beautiful, dignified First Lady back in the White House. I’m tired of seeing a [sic] Ape in heels.” Clay’s mayor, Beverly Whaling, reportedly commented on the post, “Just made my day Pam.”

    Both the post and comment were deleted, but not before screenshots were taken and shared widely on social media. Taylor was removed from her position shortly afterward, and Whaling resigned from her post. Yet, the Charleston Gazette-Mail later reported, Taylor was merely on suspension and expected to return to her position on December 23.

    According to the Post, Taylor has since been fired from her position, and the nonprofit — which provides services to low-income and elderly residents through government funds — has been placed under the watch of a state agency. Apparently Taylor’s post brought closer scrutiny to the nonprofit, exposing problems in how it was being run, including a lack of open meetings or nondiscrimination policies."

    No. It was an invention of Victurus Libertas in an apparent attempt to smear the Democratic candidate, and it served as the basis for a longer, highly embellished version of the rumor that began circulating via e-mail in October 2016:
