It's not. You don't know what a double standard is.

Have you ever met me before? Everyone's a cunt. I don't care if people call each other cunts. Fuck every one of you cunty cunt-faced cuntheads.

Why do think that? Firstly, no one's shrieking (speaking of sexism). Secondly, I didn't vote for Obama. I've only ever complained when people said racist things about her. You're making assumptions.

So what? I liked Roseanne's show and have never seen Samantha Bee do anything. What does any of that have to do with saying cunt vs. being racist?
No nothing. Just pointing it out is all. Samantha Bee is so unoriginal it hurts to watch anything of hers. I didn't watch Roseanne's show, but given that she's been tweeting racist and conspiracy stuff for the last decade, why did ABC give her a new show at all?

Clearly not a double standard, Rosanne Barr made racist comments and Samantha Bee just made a vulgar comment. This is not a left right issue, this is whether or not ABC wants to be associated with Rosanne Barr.

I don't know. Maybe they figured she wouldn't be blatantly racist at the height of their success? Maybe they wanted to make a cash grab before she lost her mind? Who knows?

Oh, let's not be silly. Everyone knows that calling a black person, no matter how white people want to say she is, an ape is racist. It's one of the oldest racist slurs there is.

I never saw the new show but I liked the old one when I was a kid and I had a crush on all the female actors.
Must have just been that time in my life.
I've seen a picture of that woman she tweeted about and the first thing that struck me was that she looks like an actor out of planet of the apes. Something about her jawline.
I don't normally think that when I see a black person.

I think using it as an insult is what makes something 'true' (in this case, VJ does resemble a character from planet of the apes) racist. Because it was meant to degrade her by comparing her to an ape, it was deemed racist. Although, if you don't know the person is black, while the insult is still racist, I don't think it makes you a racist person. You need to have intent for it to reflect on you as a person, in my opinion.

Racist kids are raised by racists but often enough without any overt indicator that what they've been taught -is- racist..which leads to oh so many "is it racist if" lines of questioning.
While the desert of unintentional racists might be an amusing subject..their being unaware of their own racism does not make that racism "not-racism". Probably something we should address...since...to hear the story told, the country was suddenly infested by unintentional racists of late.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
