    If you say so, but this is the part I do not get. Sort of dumb maybe but is it that bad? The Muslim brotherhood does not fit well, as Valerie fancies herself as an Iranian Muslim (Shiite)
    not exactly the same as the Muslim Brotherhood. I suppose ABC can fire her for what ever reason the like, but what ruffles the feather of you and these other virtuous souls here?

    Of course there aren't Eric....but I define poor differently than was proposed here..I've lived and worked in Silverlake, Glendale and Echo Park...my roommate was in the biz as were his friends...sure they wanted a hit series but they worked regularly..from what I've been told New York theater is much tougher to survive in than Hollywood. I knew set carpenters, painters, etc....there aren't unlimited jobs in any field really.

    No...it was the translation of her tweet by everyone involved, including her coworkers on set...all of them blackballed her immediately..no excuses for her behavior..that you can't see this is actually quite strange….has nothing to do with your dislike for VJ but you seem to be bashing the victim here and questioning the wrong lady's values....Roseanne Barr had a flurry of these disgusting tweets...I read a few...had some for Chelsea Clinton and a few others as well....true lack of class by her. This story has nothing to do with me either...it's a news story

    My goodness, Rosanne lacks class! Holy shit, I thought that was the whole shtick called Rosanne!
    Valerie Jarrett does disgust me. As I understand it, she was indeed the source of the thought why I and millions of other retirees lost their heathcare.
    What Rosanne says hardly concerns me, she certainly can not offend me.

    Oh well, no need in asking you. I would expect you to turn a dumb remark (that hardly makes sense) into a racist thing, No doubt you have the talent.
    Lord, I can remember it being racist to dislike the coaching style of Nate McMillan. That was Racist for sure, from you.

    This is stupid but not nearly as stupid as the complete foolishness being started by Starbucks. Racial Sensitivity training? Meaning we must now turn all business into public restrooms for the whole public, not just customers. How many places will now become unusable? This can never work. I never go to Starbucks anyway so it won't affect me, until it is also forced upon Tully's.

    MarAzul, you are just going to have to face it, things have changed since your heyday. It's not 1824 anymore.

    Yes, well then Sherlock, is it progress? Seeing grown men offended over a rather dumb remark or should I say, weightless remark seems well shy of progress.

    I'm the one who said poor and I meant it like "poor baby" not that they were broke.

    She also tweeted out - "By the way, George Soros is a nazi who turned in his fellow Jews 2 be murdered in German concentration camps & stole their wealth-were you aware of that? But, we all make mistakes, right Chelsea?""

    Not really, but I can drink their coffee when I can't make any.

    Well, you might disagree, but yes, I think going from "racism is just fine" to "racism is unacceptable" is indeed progress.

    Oh I don't think I shall agree or disagree. I just think it is very virtuous of you to be so aware. It must be a burden to feel you must discern difference in a weightless remark that it is racism rather than silly.

    I don't know when it was fine, but I do think it is continually redefined.
    Perhaps to the point that it can not now be explained.

    It's really not that difficult. Try it sometime, you might find it useful.
