    She wont be fired or suspended, ESPN is very left wing plus now all these celebrities and sports people are backing her, it's just not gonna happen.

    of course the biggest fraud of all time al sharpton gets involved

    You do understand that Dave making fun of stereotypes is completely different than what Joe said right?

    no not really at all. Joe rogan named three shitty things for you and just because one was some stereotypical black food being fried chicken doesn't mean it's fucking racist. You are seriously crazy

    ESPN is going full SJW with the woman NFL reporter that everyone hates, the Mexican who speaks funny ass English and now her. Middle America will go CNN FAKE NEWS on their ass till they fire her, then black lives matters will do an boycott in response.

    Diversity!

    You've been wanting to ask me this for a bit I'm sure. I'm glad you feel comfortable enough to know I'll give a genuine answer. I find myself having these conversations often with white acquaintances that are curious about racial issues. For some reason they feel comfortable talking about this with me. I never really have to have them with my white friends and family because they already understand their privilege whether y'all believe it exists or not.

    I've never condoned whiteface (I was like holy SHIT Dave!!! I couldn't believe he did it). I'll admit I laughed my ass off at Dave and Eddie playing those characters. I don't think they were being racist by playing them either. The Jewish character in Coming To America was genius. Dave's humor is comedic genius as well. He just has that ability to just skirt the line.

    While I'll agree it's (whiteface/blackface) funny (from both sides (black jokes are funny to some people but they're still racist). We hate blackface not only because it's only used to ridicule and further separate us, but it was used in place of what could've been a black actor. :dunno:

    Just like I don't use the term "white boy". Because the day my 41 year old ass is called "boy" is the day you'll see a racist eloquently put in their place.

    Julianne got flak because she was ignorant of the fact that wading into those waters (whiteface/blackface) is kinda treacherous. I don't think she was being racist at all. Just HELLA naive.

    Now those fucking blackface Halloween parties are racist AF tho...

    So we agree. mocking a black person in black face is stupid and wrong.

    Contrast Trump's thin skinned response, shooting low at an ESPN reporter, with how Obama responded to racism.

    Why does Trump even care?

    If it's not true he shouldn't even dignify it with a response.

    I never brought trump or obama into the espn conversation. I personally don't care whether she stays or is fired. I don't watch that show, I don't care. However there is a double standard in corporate media which is why I prefer podcasts without all the careful words and better debates

    I actually thought that was hilarious. They made fun of his blackface the whole movie.
