MSNBC racist joke against Mitt Romney's family

No. You seem upset about double standards and I got to wonder what life you have been leading to be acting surprised by what you perceive to be a double standard. Because personally, I live in a world where double standard is the norm and it has existed long before I've been living in it.

And this woman publically apologized so not OK for her to mock Romney's family or she probably wouldn't have apologized.

 

Please Sir! You completely mis state the reality of the day. Slavery existed in the world at the time this Nation was created. Africans were being sold in Africa by Africans. Great Britain was the first country (and top dog of the day) in 1807 to outlaw the Slave trade. Jefferson and the US Congress acted in 1808 to make importing slaves into the US illegal and to set the US Navy to work on the High Seas to interdict the trade to any Nation. The trouble was, the US Navy was a wish at the time. Jefferson's first order of six frigates had not all been built yet. Jefferson first attempted to end slavery in Virgina before the Nation declared independence, while he was a member of the Virgina house of Burgesses but his attempt failed in the vote.

Slavery existed in the world before laws were passed eventually to make it illegal.

It sounds to me that you have a problem with Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and the NAACP. You're assuming their politicized rhetoric is representative of the entire country, or at least the segments of the population you want to demonize.

Oh, and Phil Robertson is back on the show. In fact, he didn't miss a day of filming. So there's that. Small victories. Stay strong.

 

Yeah, what does this black bitch know about growing up in a white family?

oh well that still doesn't give her the right to make fun of mormons!

well... it's still not nice! /s

 

Fine, you don't like the slavery example. How about woman's right to vote, Black person's right to marry a white person . .. it can go on and on.

My point was the US society has had double standards for a long time and society continues to have a double standard . . . more like a multi-layer of standards.

MM likes to point out when he thinks the double standard works in favor of people of color. There are times when the the multi-standard works in favor of people of color . . . there are many times when the double standard works against people of color too.

 

thanks for a "the Jerk" flashback

 

I wanna care because I hate double standards too. Not because I really care about the double standards so much but because if they went away it might be a sign that racism is really fading out of existence. It just isn't and I just can't make myself care what they said. If we all just mixed races for a generation everyone would look the same....but pale blondes are just so hot to me I don't want it to happen.

 

The segment had Harris-Perry showing newsworthy photos of 2013 to a panel and asking them to come up with clever captions. The one photo that didn’t include an image of President Barack Obama was a Mitt Romney Christmas card that featured a photo of the former Republican candidate for president surrounded by his wife and grandchildren. On his lap sat infant Kieran Romney, the adopted black son of one of Romney’s sons.

On seeing the photo, one panelist, actress Pia Glenn sang, “One of these things is not like the other … and that little baby, front and center, would be the one,” as Harris-Perry laughed. Another panelist, comedian Dean Obeidallah joked that the image “sums up the diversity of the Republican party.” Harris-Perry cracked up the panel of four with the notion that Kieran could some day marry North West, the child of Kanye West and Kim Kardashian. “Can you imagine Mitt Romney and Kanye West as in-laws?” she asked.

3 people I've never heard of, on a show nobody watches, expose their marginal IQ's to the pathetic world of tabloid groupies. It's a sad situation all around.
