Is this racist? Apparently Eric Bolling, a Fox News host on Fox & Friends, made some shocking comments on a segment of the popular morning show. In fact, the comments were so shocking that the idiot must have gotten a good talking-to during the break because minutes later he back pedaled and said he was "just joking"—to which his dullard co-host agreed.
Is it really a joke to make a disparaging comment that is not only racist but completely insensitive toward the family of Whitney Houston? All in the same breath he said the following to democratic congresswoman Maxine Waters:
"Congresswoman, you saw what happened to Whitney Houston. Step away from the crackpipe. Step away from the Xanax. Step away from the Lorazepam, because it's gonna get you in trouble. How else do you explain those comments?"
This was in response to the speech given by Maxine Waters regarding those "too big to fail" banks and establishments. She feels that President Barack Obama should tax these entities that played a huge role in bringing the USA to the brink of oblivion.
Before you try to question whether or not this quote was in a racist context, take a look at the video:
So, do you think this is acceptable? First of all, it's not even known officially how Whitney Houston died. While she is known to have had drug and alcohol struggles in her past, and it's easy to speculate, it's completely unnecessary to make such a hateful and downright bigoted comment toward another person using this as a reference. Eric Bolling can back pedal all he wants on this, but he knows that what he said was insensitive and racially targeted. Why else would he even dare make the correlations from Whitney Houston and crack abuse to African-American congresswoman Maxine Waters?
Racism, Fox News and conservative politics
This isn't the first Fox News commentator who's made racist statements. Ann Coulter stated boldly that the GOP's "blacks" are better than "their blacks"—referring to the democrats. Saying that was like referring to these African-Americans as if they are possessions, things that they own to show off whose is better than whose, and that's just disgusting and uncalled for.
Rush Limbaugh, who was once referred to as the leader of the GOP, has made enough bigoted statements to make it hard to not picture him wearing a white hooded sheet. He once said that slavery had its merits because the streets were "safer after dark" in those days. He also said the assassin of Martin Luther King deserves a posthumous medal of honor. So what does that tell you?
The blatant dripping bigotry that pumps through the proverbial veins of conservative and radical far-right voters is only inflamed by the hateful rhetoric spread by these figures, and the hosts on Fox News. When will people simply stop watching and listening to these morons? When will people realize that racism is simply, scientifically illogical?

They hate her because she and the rest of the CPC have been fighting for universal health care, living wage laws, legalizing same-sex marriage, campaign finance reform, repealing the PATRIOT Act, getting out of Iraq, ending corporate welfare and raising taxes on the rich and super-rich while lowering taxes on the middle class and the poor.
To the right-wing lunatic fringe, those things are examples of a treasonous commie plot to destroy America and kill Baby Jesus.
Racist...Racist....RAAAACIST!
Answer: Racism.
What is it?
ummmm - stupid irrational behavior
might be a correlation there, ya think?
I can't force higher IQ out of those who simply don't have the equipment.
So either the concept is flying over your heads and leaving you stumped, or you're playing games.
I'm still waiting for the explanation... I'm not getting it... Go figure ;)
You've still refused to answer the question.
More insults -- less answering questions.. that + that = typical jj Myles
The bimbo in the middle even covered her mouth when she said "Dems" as if Democrat is a dirty word. Fox News is disgusting.
Continuing the traditional progressive tactic of dismiss demean by name calling I see Lora.
Do you just hate women if general or just women on conservative leaning news channels?
Fox News always has some dim-witted, pretty face on their channel. I see why after reading some of the posts and comments by conservatives on Gather.
I watch CNN and I assure you, the pretty faces on there have a brain to back it up.
Lora,
You are a progressive, you hate! It is what progressives do! You have no clue about the intelligence level of this woman and you don't care.....Your goal is to trash her because you hate her for being on FNC, just as you are not concerned with the intelligence level of your favorite anchor babes over at CNN....as long as they are spouting progressive propaganda you're quiet sure they are smarter than any conservative chick on FNC.
Lora Covrett Feb 17, 2012, 5:37am EST
The bimbo in the middle even covered her mouth ...
SEXIST, SEXIST, sexist. So there!
Everyone has their faults. ;)
and her eyes have that glazed over... "50s housewife" vacant 10-yard-stare.
Am I judging her by her looks? Nope. I'm judging her by her choice to associate with Newt Gingrich. Only the lowest common denominator of brainless women ever would. In my most humble and honest opinion.
Her alleged "looks" are simply an afterthought.. a bonus if you will ;)
No you don't Lora,
You don't know hardly anything about the woman you called a Bimbo except that she is on FNC....and since you hate FNC you insult her.
Yours and Chelsea's characterization of these women is is just a another example of progressive hate and vitriol that is so common. A reflection of progressive hypocrisy where accomplished women are lauded unless they are conservative life respecting women then they are reviled.
If Eric Bolling's comment wasn't racially targeted, then why did he make the correlation from Whitney Houston and smoking crack to congresswoman Maxine Waters?
I'm still waiting, and have been waiting for several hours... are you having a hard time coming up with an excuse that's believable on this one? If so, you're taking too long, and my point is pretty much proven.... But I'm sure you already know that... ;)
but that's to be expected.. when people of low IQ get confused they get mad.
Racist.....RACIST! The automatic response of progressives when a person of color is insulted!
Just another way you progressives express your hate and vitriol for conservatives.
Bigoted it was not, Racist it was not, only in your hateful mind.
Until you come up with an answer that's just the way it is. ;)
You felt it was OK to judge a plethora of women in another post of pictures comparing "Liberal" women (and two men labeled as women) against "Conservative" women based on ONLY looks.
That's not sexist?
Give me a break.
You conservatives are the epitome of double-standards.
The definition of hypocrite comes to mind.
Two of the females commenting were even getting catty with each other looking for a compliment on their looks from one of the male pigs commenting.
I threw up in my mouth a little just reading it.
That means 1.4 million people have seen all of the "intelligent" comments that come on these threads...
I will assume that at least 3/4 of that number has laughed heartily at these threads...
and that makes up for my disappointment in the lack of intelligent dialogue..
There are private groups on here though with plenty of stimulating conversation.. I myself have been considering making one for like-minded people that can't be invaded by the hate-brigade...
And this is certainly *not* a dating website.. though if someone hooks up with someone off of here, by all means do so.. I just hope that they're not thinning out their gene pools in the process. :(
Your OPINION! nothing more! One barely adult progressive opinion.
How about you point out the intelligence in calling others "bimbo" and "dim-witted".
There's been no intelligence in your conservation here nor in most of your posts.
Even Chelsea who boasts 1.4 million readers can seem to stir up any intelligent remarks in this exchange....Nothing but insults.
It's because you're not saying anything intelligent, insults do not take intelligence.
Hate and vitriol is all you have.
I remember using the "joke" excuse back in the day when I was in school.... Say something really messed up.... then when you get a reaction "I was joking gosh!"
and I've noticed that the word "vitriol" is overused.. I find myself using it sometimes, but after seeing it overused so much, it's one of those words that make me cringe when I see it now. lol.
Nope!
BTW R.F. you gotta a link to that "study" you keep posting about?
I want to debunk it.
I've read the studies that show conservatives as more compassionate, giving and responsible than progressives.....I think your postings are just a part of the progressive "you're stoopid" character attacks.
Dan E. you said: BTW R.F. you gotta a link to that "study" you keep posting about?
Dan, R F, I'd like to see that too if you don't mind..
that could also mean 10 readers, 140M times .....
R.F.'s cut and paste is probably from a study....the validity of the study on the other hand is questionable and the fact that he is unwilling to provide the source for vetting is also a good sign that it's source is questionable.
start here. Read the sources that are listed at the bottom.
Here you go R.F.;
"But Hodson's research is riddled with flaws. Dr. William M. Briggs, Adjunct Professor of Statistical Science at Cornell University, takes note:
[The study] is a textbook example of confused data, unrecognized bias, and ignorance of statistics...
What makes the study ludicrous, even ignoring the biases, manipulations, and qualifications just outlined, by the authors’ own admission the direct effect size for [intelligence] on “racism” is only -0.01 for men and 0.02 for women. Utterly trivial; close enough to no effect to be no effect..."
Hate and vitriol! Both are essential to be an progressive. You must attack those who oppose your agenda with great quantities of both! That is what progressives do that is who you are!
The truth is not important!
Racist...racist....RAAACIST!
What is important to progressives like you and Chelsea is to attack those who you don't like!
"Bimbo", "dim-witted"
R.F. You responded: No. I'm going to give you the excuse I get whenever I ask a connie for a link or cite. "I'm not going to do your research for you." I've given up and joined the connies in their ways. BTW, there is enough right in my comments for you to easily find the study. But to repeat, "I'm not going to do your research for you."
jj suggested there might not be a link ...
And while that's one possibility, another possibility is R.F. didn't actually have a link to the study at the time it was asked for ...just took the word of someone else and never read it for him/herself, which isn't always the worst thing one could do; but one cannot share what one does not have. And there are several links to that study to be found. Dan showed and correctly described from one.
I read much of the paper... But it sounded like someone who had preconceived ideas of how they wanted it turn out 'studied'', 'researched', and used too many assumptions as concrete facts in order to "come to' that preconceived idea of how they "knew" things were.
Did you see the professional evaluation of the study you quote?
"But Hodson's research is riddled with flaws. Dr. William M. Briggs, Adjunct Professor of Statistical Science at Cornell University, takes note:

Want a little cheese with that whine R.F. (R.eally F.uc***)
Whitney Houston did not smoke crack. She said so.
you "crack" me up Chels. ;)
As far as WHitney is concerned... No one as of yet knows for sure what she died from, but many are just speculating because of her battle with the drugs... And there are several people that want attention called to so many talented celebs being killed by these drugs...
at first I was like "how sad," but now I'm like "darnit gilligan!"
and though whitney houston probably died of some sort of "drug" related stupor... I highly doubt it was due to crack.. she was a drunk and a depressed pill head by this time in her life.. not a crackhead.
We, hubby and I, watch different news channels, and yes, FOX does come on our tv also and at times we have watched it....but when it starts the "we are better than you" (just like the other news channel does at time also) we turn the channel.
Whatever happen to the good ol' days of professional media sources?
The only news that deems to be non-bias is local channel news. They tell you what is going on in the district/county and around the world without playing favorites to anyone.
Also as someone stated above that the gentleman who said what he did, was a figure of speech. If I am watching the news, I don't want juvie figure of speech, I want an adult to speak. (personally, in my conversations in the real world, I have never caught myself saying "what she/he been smoking", or "they are on the crackpipe"...I leave those silly things up to teenagers to say)
I am one... I think you refer to me as a "connie" who agrees with the above statement!
Journalism went straight into the toilet when the suits took over.
They are not journalists any more. They are TV stars who play that role!
let's also remember Vietnamese in San Jose California were given 2% homeloans, 2% buisiness loans while REAL United States of America citizens were charged astronomical rates 8%, 32% loan rates for same similar loans, just think about that for a moment . . .
If you say you do not see why telling an African-American person to "step away from the crack pipe" is racist, I suspect you're being a bit dishonest. You've never in your life heard of Caucasians stereotyping African-Americans as drug users?
Using stereotypes in an attempt to belittle a person and thus disregard her argument is offensive and childish, as are attempts to defend such conduct.
Cuz we all know that meth and trailer parks are rampant with conservative mentalities.. right up there with churches and misogyny.
that is R.F.s M.O. He tries to belittle any who stands against the progressive agenda.
To build up his own ego I imagine, but mostly because that is just what progressives do.
If this was coming from a black host, white congresswoman and a dead white star, it would go viral with the Left laughing their asses off.
I've asked this before... nobody can seem to answer that...
It would be nice to get an answer instead of a bag of excuses.....
A link to the study that you quote so often claiming that Conservatives are STOOPID?
They both are in the news at the same time and both display some similar craziness in behavior and speech pattern...
Chelsea Hoffman Feb 17, 2012, 11:27am EST
Like I said - explain to me why someone would make the coorelations from whitney houston and crack smoking to african american congresswoman maxine waters.
I've asked this before... nobody can seem to answer that...
It would be nice to get an answer instead of a bag of excuses.....I
If I was quoting a study like that I wouldn't have offered the link up either! LOL!
But I was just pretending to be Chelsea broken recording;
"Answer the question"....Answer the question"....."ANSWER THE QUESTION"
(prove a negative)
I find myself wondering why you omitted the fact that Bolling was responding to Ms. Watters reference to Republicans as Demons.
Is it because it is acceptable in your eyes to Literally Demonize Republicans; but a horrible injustice to use equally heated rhetoric against Democrats?
I could care less if they all got in name calling matches.
Racism and bigotry on the other hand isn't acceptable.
Again, I'd like an answer to my above questions instead of silly excuses and paper tigers.
Did not even look into the fact that there might be some reason for sharing, just automatically assumed it was racism.
The libs definition of racist is anyone who does not agree with a black person.
Got to go meet the wife for dinner... gone for the day!
Not hateful and demeaning either!
Progressives..Gotta love em;
We can be hateful and demeaning and derogatory...but as long as we aren't racist we're O.K.! LOL!
So... I've no choice but to believe that you too are a racist... since you can't even convincingly explain why the statement was *not* racist. Yet you just "shout" insults and smartass retorts... go figure..
small minds usually can't break out of those small little corners....
goes right along with your insults to other posters.. you're not intelligent enough to keep up with a couple of girls so you call them ugly... either your 10-years old on your mom's computer or you're a miserable, lonely old man..... who probably doesn't have a healthy family life.
That's just my analysis of someone as rude and snide as you're being.... You have major displacement issues due to your apparent lack of critical thinking abilities.
That's not a personal attack, but a sincere recommendation that you seek help for your problems.. It can't be healthy for whatever family members have the displeasure of living around you.. or yourself.
You mean like;
"Bimbo", "dim-witted", " racist" "small minded".
Why correlate whitney houston and crack abuse to Maxine Waters?
The only thing that the two people even remotely share is their race... for one thing...
I know none of you can answer that question, as I've tried for over 12 hours and you all would rather insult, bla bla bla -- more proof that you are cognitively unable to answer the question.
Like R.F. just said... racists generally don't think they're racists.... Thankfully the rest of us can recognize it.
jj -- do you suffer from hypertension or anything? I'd figure someone as full of ignorance, hate and bigotry like you would be... physically ill.
Exactly.
Only in the mind of someone who is immersed in racism her/him self (either obsessed with studying it, searching nooks and crannies for it, or practicing it).
However, because of my own thoughts when now and then Whitney was in the news either being beaten up by, or trying to "get off" drugs with Bobby... And having seen some of Congresswoman Waters' 'greatest hits' . . . when I heard it, I took Boling's statement to be a reference to the fact that Waters is on the same crazy path that Whitney was.
But, if you like (or if that's the "way you roll"), you are free to jump to the first conclusion that comes to your mind that it was a reference to the fact that both women are black rather than a reference to the fact that both are just a bit crazy in only slightly different ways; one crazy gone on drugs most of the time (more's the pity for that lost life of possibilities and actual accomplishments), the other crazy gone on arrogance, power, and just a bit of bigotry herself (class and political bigotry at the least). Though jumping to that conclusion really does seem more likely to indicate the jumper's state of mind rather than Boling's.
More proof of my correctness....
no answering of questions though... still typical..
It's racist because I (she) says so! Now she wants any of us to prove her wrong, essentially proving a negative.
Only a mental midget would think that way.
You might not like the answer, but it seems I did answer it - a full 46 minutes before your own above snide comments to me.
Lee Y. Feb 17, 2012, 7:02pm EST
Nice try though, Lee.
Like it was said earlier, racists will be the LAST to admit they're racists.
That's a matter of opinion, not racism.
I used to have a close friend who acted just like Maxine... Suffice it to say he is no longer with us ... It was sad to see his downhill slide. All due to his drug use. Then again, Maxine may simply be putting it on for the base ... Same result for those watching from the 'outside' though.
Here we are, then. At the crux of the matter and the main reason for all the bluster. A difference of opinion.
For instance I absolutely view Waters as crazy and totally understand Boling's reference. However, I do not and have never thought Charlie Rangel was crazy and if he had been used in the reference even I might have to wonder what the motive was.
On the other hand, Pelosi is way further off the deep end than Maxine. With Reid coming up on her heels. Then there is what's 'is name green czar Jones...he hasn't even been able to see the deep end for a number of years.
It was just Maxine's bad timing to make her nasty, silly, crazy sounding remarks during the same news cycle as Whitney.
Like I said, it's a matter of personal opinion; not racism. You probably like all of them ... I would be hard pressed not to feel like sitting with my back to the wall in the presence of any of them. Except for Rangel...
That's a matter of opinion, not racism.
I used to have a close friend who acted just like Maxine... Suffice it to say he is no longer with us ... It was sad to see his downhill slide. All due to his drug use. Then again, Maxine may simply be putting it on for the base ... Same result for those watching from the 'outside' though.
It was just Maxine's bad timing to make her nasty, silly, crazy sounding remarks during the same news cycle as Whitney's untimely death.
So really ... all we have here is a difference of opinion. I think Maxine behaves crazy/ abominably sometimes and you don't. +shrug+ Apparently Boling agrees with me and many others.
So, like I said, that's a matter of opinion, not racism.
However, accusations of racism (whether true or false, real or imagined, fake or convenient) draw more attention and more comments and ... well, I see that. It's the difference between the attention and career potential of being on the garden party beat vs being embedded with the troops.
Drama sells, polite conversation and flower shows ... not so much.
We had almost a half of year in high school on that stuff ... Nothing new here.
Do you have velcro straps on your shoes too, jj? Because this is so simplistic I'd not be surprised if my 9 year old niece could grasp and understand this without having to lower herself to even your subhuman-behavior. :)
I would be more than happy to rationally, and civilly debate this with you, I'm just confused on the "Racist" issue, I don't quite get it. Maxine is a ???? (interject description) and Whitney was a junkie...I guess I just don't get the question here. I'm gonna re-read, re-watch and see if I can't the "Point". In the meantime if you get this soon please let me in on it!!!
I am not seeing the racial component here, except in your mind. You failed to correlate Xanax or Lorazepam to any particular established group. Read the entire comment, not just the portion that you may consider offensive and explain all of the correlations.
Do only black women smoke crack pipes? I did not know that until you brought it to my attention. Which group does the Xanax represent? Stressed out white housewives? Is correlating Waters with stressed white housewives racist? What about Lorazepam? I admit to have taken a generic equavalent of this? Was Waters correlated with midwestern white men?
Could you explain all of this without the presumption of racism.
Houston admitted to doing illegal drugs as well as abusing legal drugs. Houston appeared at public functions obviously under the influence of some chemical cocktail. Houston was a public figure that recently died under questionable circumstances.
A few weeks ago the comparison would have been Amy Winehouse, before that Micheal Jackson, before that Anna Nicole Smith, before that .... pick you favorite young dead celebrity.
If anything the reporter was guilty of trying to be hip and current and coming off as just another blithering idiot with an opinion ... sort of like the elitist writers that try to make a big issue out of small comments.
Answer the question or move on.
1 attempt at explaining how Eric Bolling's comment isn't racist. (Scott the zionist) Who tried to explain it by (no surprise) making racial stereotypes, further proving my point.
0 (that's ZERO) successful attempts at explaining why Eric Bolling's comment wasn't racist -- instead, multiple attacks at saying that "liberals call everything racist." -- well throwing out those insults is far easier than admitting that YES, this was racist.. It's also apparently easier than.. oh I don't know.. thinking.... obviously.
funny, sad and pathetic all at the same time.
Chelsea is a closet racist that thinks the African-American population are inferior to her. That is why Chelsea feels compelled to run to their defense, she feels they are not capable of dealing with controversial subjects. She is just a closet racist using this site to demonstrate her superiority over the poor defenseless black population.
She is a poor thing.
whitney was smart before drugs fried her brain.
maxine has no excuse
Whitney Houston and Maxine Waters have absolutely NOTHING in common. One is a congresswoman who's been in politics for several years, doesn't have a past of drug abuse and isn't an entertainer.
The other is an R&B singer who *had* a cocaine problem (she herself said it wasn't crack) and who died from UNKNOWN causes (most likely alcohol and prescription pills).
Now, what correlation does Whitney Houston and Maxine Waters have? Two entirely different worlds. Entirely. There is *no* reason to compare the two unless you are *oh wow* comparing them because of their skin color.. That is literally the ONLY thing the two share.
So, all ignorant insults aside.. Try to think for a minute and answer my question above... otherwise, I'm just going to assume you're the same troll you always are.
that is in absolute and complete agreement with your comment, that the 2 people have nothing in common!
as to whitneys drug use being past or present - i said her brain WAS fried - drug use has effects sometimes, long after the usage is stopped.
no insults at all.
and i made no comparison between those two, in fact i pointed out they are entirely different.
is agreeing with you wrong too?
maxine is a few clydsedales shy of a budwieser team, when it comes to things she says - as far as i know, whitney had an excuse to be, but really wasnt!
why do you assume it is racist?
did i say it was only one race or the other that says stupid things?
did i say that only one race uses crack?
now you MAY be able to take what i said as an insult (true or not) against maxine, rather than a plain truth - but i made no disparaging remark against whitney.
ah but i see you decided to attack ME personally as a troll .....
i was simply looking at the comments on the main page, and saw one by someone else - to be honest, when i came to the post, i had no clue you wrote it.
I won't acknowledge you anymore until you want to take a stab at answering the very simplistic question asked in this thread without resorting to petty troll games. Not interested in them.
not sure what question you refer to - there was no question posed to me,
in fact i think i may have seen a question to someone else, that another person responded to, and you ignored - and said you are still waiting for .... was it dan maybe? to respond.
petty troll games lolololololol.
you are not interested in debate or discussion - you expect us to take your opinions as gosp[el.
and i will say this to you, and say no more on this - when i was having my haed bashes in with billy clubs, and got broken ribs, and nose, marching and defending civil rights - you and those with your attitude, were not there. you and those with the opinions you state, were not in the jail cell - and did not have YOUR life threatened.
so call 1800 Helen-wait, and press pound sand.
bye .. have fun dodging the points..
Thanks for all the clicks... At least I can capitalize off of your toddler-like intelligence!
Maxine "Aunt Esther" Waters, well, what can I say, she's worked in government most of her life and now sees herself in a position to throw her weight around and hell others what to do. At least Fred Sanford could tell Aunt Esther to jump in a lake and she can't do anything about it. Thanks to brainswashed constituents on the dole, she will be voted in again.
I always believed that able-bodied people on welfare who has the vote is far more dangerous than 1000 Mohammed Attas with 707's loaded with fuel or Iran with 10 ICBM's each with a 25 megaton warhead. If I may borrow from the great Cicero, we can survive the enemy without but not within because these voters enable voting for the enemy that promises to keep the gravy train coming and adding boxcars of goodies to it.
So brief. So true. And just so in agreement with the views of the author it's uncanny. Well, except for the last part; but two out of three is not all that bad as far as being able to agree is concerned. Lol.
Del Nerkez Feb 18, 2012, 12:09am EST
it is very wrong to compare whitney to maxine.
whitney was smart before drugs fried her brain.
maxine has no excuse
"Dan E. Dec 31, 2011, 5:11pm EST
Charles,
The progressives have enslaved Blacks once again by making them dependent on a government paycheck.
I remember when the Democratically controlled congress in the seventies set the standard that no household in which an able bodied male resided could receive "welfare", effectively causing a mass exodus of fathers from their homes to make sure that their families had food to eat and subsistence for their children, An effort to destroy the family structure and make more dependent on the government."
Well of course you can't answer my question when you spout racist absurdities yourself! More whites on welfare than blacks, my friend and everyone knows that... except you obviously... but you'd rather think "blacks rely on welfare" -- when most of them do not!
*facepalm*
good luck with all that, Dan... forget I tried to ask you to show me some insight when you lack it in every post you've ever made!
Broken recording, racist....Racist.....RAAACIST! Answer the question...answer the question...ANSWER THE QUESTION!
LOL!
Empty rhetoric from an empty mind
And the comments the guy made? How else would you explain this woman's stupidity??? She certainly talks like she's on drugs all the time.
interesting...
"disgusting is what she is.."
also interesting..
Bigotry is so saddening.....
"demons who are ruining our country" - (Maxine Waters)
Definition:
de·mon/ˈdēmən/
Noun:
An evil spirit or devil, esp. one thought to possess a person or act as a tormentor in hell.
A cruel, evil, or destructive person or thing.
Please stop projecting your bigotry onto someone else who didn't say anything bigoted in the first place. ;) It only makes you look worse.
What does a racist look like? UGLY.
Chelsea you responded to Marilyn like this: Ugly because she's not white, Marilyn? the venom dripping from your comments says it all ;)
Chelsea, jj is correct when he says Marilyn didn't say that. You said it. You thought it, and you said it. And you falsely attributed it to Marilyn. Projection?
I'm beginning to think you really don't care what anyone says or writes because you will rearrange whatever word symbols they type out in order to say what you are thinking instead of actually addressing what the commenter, in this case Marilyn, actually said. Nice.
Waters makes herself look ugly by the things that she says. Not because she's black. There are many many people of various colors including black brown tan and every similar hue who can express themselves in much better ways than she can and who never lower themselves the way she does on such a somewhat regular basis. So 'black' can't be the reason for the behavior.
No, sorry; you can't use that bit of biological happenstance to make Maxine's comments and behavior seem better or of higher purpose than they were while making Marilyn's seem worse ...
In other words, however hard you try you simply cannot make 'black' the excuse for Water's behavior. Her behavior comes from much deeper than that. Out of the heart the mouth speaks. And that's something that is much harder to overcome even in our society than skin color.
Racism.. bigotry.. it's all good huh Marilyn ;)
The answers are "no", "yes", "true', 'false", "possibly" and "ask again later".
If the question is "I stereotyping a tool used by small minded idiots?", the answer is YES. If that is not the question, then what is?
Yeah, I get what you are saying Eric. It took me a good bit of time to actually track down "the question". It was especially frustrating because an I-pad is not an ideal tool for this kind of conversation (imo lol). And the time I took to do it was almost a waste of time since she didn't accept the answer in any case lol.
Eric S Feb 18, 2012, 10:26am EST
You want someone to answer a specific un-named question in a post filled with dozens of random questions?
The answers are "no", "yes", "true', 'false", "possibly" and "ask again later".
If the question is "I stereotyping a tool used by small minded idiots?", the answer is YES. If that is not the question, then what is?
Maybe you should be more specific than spiteful... Why are supporters of fascism so spiteful? Nevermind.. answered my own question..
Wow, talk about a sociology experiment... this study was totally right if they go by the types that have commented this thread so far:

Are you sure you are reading the comments... There most certainly were several valid answers to the question You asked (as ridiculous as it was) at the time you made this comment.
But it seems the only answer you would accept is one in which one of us admits to something that, while in agreement with your pov, would be totally untrue and legitimately off the deep end itself in this particular context.
It is all about Hoffman seeking validation of her stereotypes and support for her bigotry.
If you support and validate her, she is happy as she can be. Disagree with her and she becomes non-responsive at best and snarky at worst.
She asked a question, I answered her question, she did not like the answer. She did not dispute or parse the answer I gave, she just dismissed it because it did not validate her hate.
"I stereotyping a tool used by small minded idiots?"
are you saying you're stereotyping a tool by small minded idiots? Or are you saying something else?
You haven't answered anything -- but your attacks are well noted and typical.. not to mention telling of your weak argument/stance.
Do you drive a pickup truck too?
The last pick up truck I saw was on blocks in front of my white trash neighbor's house. What's your point?
No, sorry; you can't use that bit of biological happenstance to make Maxine's comments and behavior seem better or of higher purpose than they were while making Marilyn's seem worse ...
In other words, however hard you try you simply cannot make 'black' the excuse for Water's behavior. Her behavior comes from much deeper than that. Out of the heart the mouth speaks. And that's something that is much harder to overcome even in our society than skin color.

John, was wondering if you had yet figured out how to make it seem like I was lying about my own opinion?
