"Wanda Sykes has had enough of Roseanne.

The actress and comedian is credited as a consulting producer on the ABC sitcom’s rebooted season."




One of the nastiest anti white non funny uber-leftist "actress/comedian" quits Rosanne.

YAWN!

Crazy world we live in. Me thinks this has more to do with her being pro Trump than anything else.


Absolutely spot-on.

This is a fresh reminder of how Freedom of Speech works. Yeah she was free to think what she wanted, but he moment she said/wrote it, those rights got narrower and came with some backlash from her employer. Were her remark directed at our government, or at a specific person/persons? Do former government officials count still as government? It is a harsh reality on how fragile the interpretations of some of our Rights are.

Ask yourself this, if you had an employee who was off the clock in your company uniform out in the public eye making comments along the same lines, and you received complaints and possible loss of business, how would you handle this employee? (yes I know there are a variety of factors that split hairs a million ways from Sunday, but let's keep this simple) If now your company is labeled as supporting the sentiments of those comments now by backing that employee how does that look for you the boss? Just food for thought, not trying to mix up an argument.

From my perspective as a manager who is in charge of 84 people, this is my opinion.

If you are going to reprimand and fire one employee for something like this, but let others stay employed who have said things along the same lines multiple times, then as a manager or company your credibility is shot. I have people from all walks of life, all backgrounds, beliefs and religions, but the playing field stays even.

Yeah, I think that’s the problem here. What Roseanne said was really shitty, and everything Wetpaperbag said is true, but the playing field just isn’t level and that’s what is disturbing.

Aaaaand it will never be if the Right doesn't get over the fear of being seen as hurtful to their feelings.

Run Rosanne.....apologize and be done with it....but Nooooo We gotta have a big 4 day discussion on how Rosanne should be silenced.

Don't get me wrong their views are as valid as ours.

But they could give 2 shits if they hurt our feelings or what they do flies in the face of our values..

Take Flag desecration for instance....they could care less that the act of doing this crushes the men and women that fight for our country...and Patriotic Americans as well.

Its explained away as their right.

They'll do as they wish .....the WW2 Army Vet and all our Soldiers can go screw.


They're like a bunch of punk ass kids that were never taught any manners.

The Generation Of Me.
