[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele]10:09 and 10:11 illustrate what I was saying in my earlier post.  Many Trump supporters don’t distinguish between racism and insults based on political differences. They see no difference between an insult based on race which has centuries of dehumanization behind it and an insult based on political differences. They just consider them equal. [/quote]

This!  Comedians can insult people and make fun of them to get a laugh but that is totally different than the completely racist comment Rosanne made.  [/quote]

Well, what about black comedians that make fun of white people as a race in their stand-up routines?  Is that allowed to "get a laugh?"   That happens all the time.

Or what about when Chris Rock said "I want to live in a world with real equality. I want to live in a world where an equal amount of white kids are shot every month. I want to see white mothers on TV crying."  That stand-up was released on Netflix right after the Florida shooting and  no one batted an eye about it and Netflix never removed it, nor did Chris Rock apologize.    Do you think that is okay too?  [/quote]

Stupid people don’t understand barbed political comedy.  Is it any wonder there are so few talented conservative comics.  Larry the Cable Guy might be your speed.  Psst ... he’s a fraud too.  [/quote]

Oh, we understand it. [/quote]
