Meanwhile, the Orange Utan has come out in support of Roseanne. Although, he might have a case about the media bias evidenced here>>>

 

 

 

This proves a point that white people cannot be victims of racism, and that only white people can be racist. I wonder if Roseanne was black and she compared a white woman to an ape, whether or not her show would have still be cancelled?

 

Do I really need to tell you the answer to this one?

Personally I don't like to see vulgar speech on TV, though I don't mind it in person. I'm a sailor after all. But it's really hard to distinguish what is acceptable and who you can say something nasty about and who you can't. A couple of examples:

I don't disagree with Bee fwiw but if that kind of speech is acceptable why is the Roseanne Barr speech not?

 

Then there's the battle of the chimps:

I'm with Dylan on this one:

 

"People are crazy and times are strange
 I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range
I used to care, but things have changed"
