When Roseanne Barr was fired in 2018 over a racist tweet, liberals applauded. Different years, different comedians, but the same story: outrage, pressure, punishment, and partisan applause.
The difference with Roseanne being that Obama didn't call up her boss and demand a firing. The part that really gave me a good laugh was when she tried to blame the drug ambien. The makers of ambien tweeted back that none of the side effects include racism.

If I’m dealing with somebody in customer service who’s a moronic Black woman, I wonder is she there because of her excellence, or is she there because of affirmative action?

If we would have said that Joy Reid and Michelle Obama and Sheila Jackson Lee and Ketanji Brown Jackson were affirmative action picks, we would have been called racists. Now they’re coming out and they’re saying it for us You do not have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken really seriously. You had to go steal a white person’s slot to go be taken somewhat seriously.
In what context is any of that not racist?
