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

    :0) So says the white guy supposed Stein supporter. If you were truly a Stein supporter .. which I doubt .. we wouldn't be having this conversation.

    Calling a woman in my family a 'buffalo' doesn't make it racist. What Barr said was decidedly racist .. and you claiming not to know that is all the tell I need know about where your sentiments lie.
    AMERICAN HISTORY ITSELF IS A TESTAMENT TO THE STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE OF AFRICAN PEOPLE. WE, ALONG WITH THE COURGE AND SACRIFICES OF CONSCIOUS WHITE AMERICANS, LIKE VIOLA LIUZZO, EVERETT DIRKSEN, AND MANY OTHERS, HAVE FOUGHT AND DIED TOGETHER FOR OUR FREEDOM, AND FOR OUR SURVIVAL.

    In America, rights are are not determined by what is just, fair, equitable, honest, nor by what Jesus would do. Rights are determined ONLY by what you can DEMAND.

    Some confuse being articulate with being enlightened. Some like CFM have to look up the terms.

    Pence.

    Just as twisted, but competent and Zionist. Siamese twinned to the war profiteering fundamentalist Mercer/Prince/Devos cabal.

    Wrong.
    I quoted MI law, and it is illegal for employers to discriminate against political expression.
    I only expand to show that it is also basic to the constitution of MI, as well as the US federal constitution.
    There is nothing tenuous about it.
    What ABC did was totally illegal.

    Wrong.
    The actual quote was:
    “muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby=vj."
    Which most likely referred to ideology, not actually having sex and any thing to do with race.
    The Muslim Brotherhood has nothing to do with race, and the movie "Planet of the Apes" has nothing to do with race.

    And no, Roseanne has never made any racist comments about anyone, ever.
    A “big man with swinging ape balls” has absolutely no racial aspect what so ever.
    And Susan Rice was likely being complimented for all we know.

    ... and no, one does not get to say any damn thing they want publicly without consequence ..
    What Roseanne does on her own time is illegal for her employer to have any say about at all.
    The law is clear and this is illegal political discrimination.

    And YES, legally you get to say any damn thing you want publicly without consequence, as long as it is not illegal libel/slander, illegal obscenity, or illegally inciting others to violence.
    You can say anything as rude or crude as you can think of, and no one legally can stop you.

    Nonsense.
    What she was saying is that the US was being too nice to the Islamic Brotherhood and Iran.
    It was a metaphor over policies.

    And YES, private employment most certainly does protect freedom of speech.
    And fact your freedom of speech is supposed to be an individual right, so is supposed to be protected from anyone.

    If you think that only government is prevented from discriminating against political expression, you are totally wrong.
    The 1st amendment was incorporated after the 14th amendment was passed, and now is interpreted as an individual right by the judiciary.

    Each state also have protection for free speech.
    Here is CA law:
    {...
    But two sections of the California Labor Code (sections 1101 and 1102) specify that private employers may not do any of the following:

    Make, adopt or enforce any rule or policy forbidding or preventing employees from engaging or participating in politics or running for public office;
    Make, adopt or enforce any rule or policy that tends to control or direct the political activities or affiliations of employees;5 or
    Use the threat of job loss to coerce, influence or attempt to coerce or influence employees to take or refrain from taking any particular course of political activity.6
    It follows from these laws against employer political suppression or coercion that employers may not fire or retaliate against employees for their political activity or beliefs.
    ...}
    So yes, private employment also has to allow freedom of speech.

    Small wonder why Trump liked her.
    And you don't think sleeping pills interfere with one's ability to communicate effectively?
    Of course it does.

    And if Roseanne thought Jarrett was white, then in no way could her comment have been intended to be racist.
    Doesn't matter if it was accurate, rude, or whatever.
    It clearly then could not have been intended to be racist.
