I have a huge meeting this evening, and have woken up in a real 'no meetings' mood, so have the rest of the day to turn that particular ship around.

Whoopi Goldberg tried to make some weird point about the Holocaust not being 'about race'. Rightfully got her ass handed to her. Owned it. But is being suspended from her stupid show.

Why do I feel a sense of injustice for Whoopi Goldberg, and a show I'd never ever watch, for an offensive piece of idiotic rhetoric?

sometimes guys are like "oh I'm not gay" and it's like don't jump all over it accusing

the word has no following God it's only following bad influencers so ofcourse people cast stones

my impression is that someone adamantly exclaiming themself struggles to be known cis gender included and communication and understand is what it's all about

when I showed up to my highschool reunion an it was the same group of white popular kids who had invited me the first thing out of my mouth aside from my joint was "where's all the black people" and this football player told me i wasn't allowed to say that and I giggled and said no buddy, your reaction right now is why you're not allowed to say that

don't say black or else black beauty and black culture will get appreciated? or at least invited to the damn reunion? say black say it all the fucking time in the good ways when theres no representation and don't be some white bish nobody needs a savior or to be spoken for on their behalf


you have to know if someone says who they are if they are the kind of person who joins in or cried when they hear about Matthew Shepard

i was a kid and really affected by Matthew Shepard's death and Ellen's eulogy speech will always be in my heart .... this life is about understanding not uncool kids cancelling why they dont understand .... at the end it's either for or against and there's so many special needs parents who get the terminology rong an that's not what's in their hearts


to doubt whoopi goldberg's heart and feelings on the Holocaust? to be attempt to be woke on Dave Chappelle and I'm seeing Patton Oswalt as a good friend defending his friend and saying I feel different....


Dave Chappelle sees male female in nature as born and he doesn't realize it's the beauty of identity that a woman is a woman is a woman whether you have ovaries removed or your partner is the one carrying the baby that doesn't make the pregnancy any less yours.... to know who you are and be yourself we all should applaud.... Angelina jolie had beautiful tits and her mom is from blue island and died untimely from horrible breast cancer and Angelina Jolie got her boobs done and it's sexy and safe and yet we are all able to marry nature and science for the beauty humanity has accomplished without needing excuses or definitions .... after all picard has a plastic heart you dare say captain jean luc Picard of the u.s.s. enterprise is not the heart of a lion because his heart is silicone? let science and nature be married I to happily ever after and don't be the fool ass saying any bs about whoopi or dave chappelle


and man who tries you need some small special fun today like a walk to McDonald's for a happy meal like i did yesterday evening who cares izzard have an adventure and let the spontaneous fun up your dopamine response before this meeting and then feel like a president taking meetings and assigning your feelings and feel good, it's groundhogs day you guys we have to live today over and over let's have fun!

She gets paid quite a bit to not say stupid shit on the air. I can't say I disagree with the two week suspension.

Doesn't this same show always have some right wing blonde woman saying ignorant shit left and right..

But whatever.. no one will remember this in 3 weeks and it's not like Whoopi needs to work.

Definitely. Don't get me wrong. She'll be fine.

I think- as it often is with this cultural criticism thinking- it's symbolic. I really like the idea of people with big microphones getting publicly corrected for saying dumb stuff. But I also feel like such shared public mistakes are where much of the learning happens. I don't like the idea that as a culture we could reach a point where people are scared to talk about complicated, sensitive shit.

I had to teach a class full of 10 year olds about the violent peak of the conflict between the Utes and the occupying US army. There's a great chance I stepped in it at some point in my phrasing, and supporting the students in discussing their reactions to the documents.

I guess I just feel like we should keep calling out mistakes while acknowledging the probability that we'll all make them.

oh did machine gun Kelly call a girl hott for being professionally hott? what are mom's doing? that's his right to be a young man

the point is that the good stupid ass ish is being said not the truly vile evil predatory .... let's not cast stones on human nature when there's safety and no malice of intent .... the bottom line is for or against and a person is who they are there are iterations and learning and none of us is Jesus better than anyone else and taking all the sin out of it

a kid said a girl was hott? 23 and 17 does that make more difference? where's the creep shaming the mom? it's called the best daughter makes a porn tape like pam and tommy and releases it on purpose like she learned from paris hilton and rides that 15 minutes of fame I to fifteen years because the mom is an opportunist fame whore who raised her children as such.... and they claim the other one that used t have freckles and is a makeup hoe with tiny wisdom says kylie Jenner is a self made millionaire? really like Tupac? or was that the same sex tape being stretched to throw them all on the lame ass map that America is not supposed to be drawn as at all.... c'mon gen alpha start garage bands!

robert downey jr said it first "gen alpha" and we all know a quality human when we know one you got that propaganda and fake news and fake reality tv

this makes sense without editing or filters or any fancy .... don't assume someone exclaiming they're not gay has some problem and create one where none exists and God loves Gay so put that in your newfangled "dictionaries" before you put homer simpson saying "d'oh" ya society's

autocorrect is the bain of my eXistenZ

I have no knowledge of her contract with ABC but as a host she has an obligation to be more responsible with her words than her guests. I'm guessing there's a clause in there somewhere saying that ABC has the right to suspend her if she says something stupid, even once. If they don't enforce it now, when else would they enforce it..

But, yeah, agree with you.. in xxx amount of time, no one is going to remember this (unless she keeps saying stupid shit).
