Liberal Double Standard


Television has been taken over by political correctness but only punish the republican 'offenders'.
Rosanne Barr is a very public Trump supporter. She even made her character of the same name a republican. The reboot of the sitcom Rosanne was initially very successful. Her cast was very diverse. The kids were now married with kids. DJ was married to a black woman and they have a daughter. Darlene has a transgender son. But when the star took to Twitter to express her discontent with Valerie Jarrett the world became unhinged.

I am the first to jump on racists. Ignorance and vile remarks don't have a place in my world. But I have had a brief online encounter with Rosanne Barr. In my opinion she is very impulsive and opinionated. BUT if you take exception to something she says, she will hear you out. She will also acknowledge how you feel and can see why you feel that way. In my opinion if Valerie had been white with big ears she would have said she was an offspring of Dumbo. I was shocked by what she said. I just don't think she's a racist.

Rosanne was fired by ABC very quickly. The show is now called The Conner's. It's not getting the ratings in part to fans being angry at the firing of the star. It's been said ABC even regrets acting so fast in firing her. They said maybe a suspension would have been a more reasonable reaction.

The double standard was blatantly clear on a recent CNN broadcast. Three black male guests were speaking on Kayne West and a recent White House visit. One of the guests said something like 'that's what you get when a negro reads.' There were other just as offensive remarks.  The guests were not punished nor reprimanded. The excuse being black people can talk about other black people in racial terms. So its not racist unless someone of a different race says it? I found it offensive. Rosanne tweeted, she wasn't on television and her world was turned upside down.

Why is there a double standard in the television industry? Political correctness and its consequences  only applies to conservatives. Liberals are looking more and more like dictators. Do as we say not as we do. What we want is right and you are wrong. Mob mentality on the streets and infringing on the rights of others in the media. When will it stop? I hope with the midterm elections. Conservatives get out and vote on Nov 6th.
