I have noticed a trend going around with the news cycle. Someone does something awful. People criticize the person for doing something awful. People then instantly point to someone else who also did something awful and say what about them!
So what? Can we please stay on topic? Roseanne isn't Bill Mahr. No one cares what Whoopi Goldberg said on The View. Right now, God knows, we're all talking about Roseanne Barr. Roseanne Barr who got herself fired by making a crappy racist remark on Twitter. It isn't the first time, no one's really shocked, but it is out there, and it got her cancelled.
But Whoopi, but Bill, but but but...
No, no buts. She did this to herself, there's no excuse for what she said. Ambien doesn't have a side effect of racists views. Naked sleep cooking? Yes. Racism? No. Let's not make excuses for this. It doesn't matter if you like her. I like her. It doesn't mean ABC shouldn't fire her. Free speech does not mean freedom from the consequences of speech. She said something crappy and racist and she got fired. Quit trying to make it about politics.
We're not talking about someone else so let's not follow the red herring. If we switch topics, we switch topics.
