I'm surprised you were able to type that, Marceline... what with a bucket of chicken in one hand, and a crack pipe in the other.

I get along fine, because everyone around me has the same opinion. Just because this board is some microcosm of people whose no lye relaxer has eaten away their last brain cell, does not mean the rest of the country is like that. And YES... they are whiners. Either take some action or stop bitching. It would be one thing if these were children, the are grown ass women. And since every one of them has by their own admission taken illegal drugs.. they are obviously drug whores as well, and sorry, but those types cannot be trusted.

Hahaha!!! Teflon, I tell ya! Standing ovations, still rakin in the bucks, and only about a dozen picketers showed up. Probably all in the same van! LOL http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-30723422 If these things really DID happen, then I guess you can say that some good comes of it. Women now know that either you summon the courage to open your mouth when it happens, or live with the consequences. All through this century, men were FORCED to go to war against their will, got their legs shot off, and God knows what else... compared to that, these women look like whiners.

Wendy's comment wouldn't have bothered me in the least. When a big ol drag queen looking circus clown tells you you're not wearin enough makeup, you got to consider the source!

I do know about prejudice and oppression, but unlike some, who spend the rest of their lives feeling entitled to WHATEVER by it, I take action and DO SOMETHING about it. I guess you can say I feel like if your'e too much of a wimp to fight back (reporting an incident to police when it happens) then you don't deserve justice. I predict we will see at least a few of them women be discredited, and the rest will fall like dominoes. Phylicia is totally right, it is a a concerted effort to discredit him, the fact that it started with a comic that wanted to bring him down because he denounces thug culture tells me everything I need to know.

Rita Moreno is AMAZING! And BTW, we don't even know what kind and IF Phylicia gets residuals. Many contracts in the 80's didn't give actors residuals, none of the cast of Knots Landing gets residuals, except for minimums set forth by the Actor's union, which is pennies... but as Michele Lee once said "However... we got good money up front". So I LUV how Rita basically said she didn't believe the allegations, but dind't come right out and SAY it, because she knew that professional victims the world over would make her out to be the devil.

I'm just laughing my butt off at you all now gathering your torches and coming for Phylicia Rashad. I think maybe the real anger is that you all know he's untouchable at this point, and he has more money than all of you put together will ever see in your lifetimes. Never seen so many butthurt crybabies in my life.

You honestly don't see the parallels of mob mentality?

I figured Phylicia's comments would have all your panties caught in your cracks. Pull them out, wash out the skid marks, and move on. Not everyone agrees with your witch hunt. And Marceline says that conspiracies among large groups of people don't happen. Ever hear of Nazi Germany? Salem, Massachusetts? The Hollywood blacklist?

I don't know why people would be clamoring to go to Cuba when they can just go to Puerto Rico. I think it should be our 51st state.

I agree, profiling is there for a reason.

And there you have it. When you discuss serious issues, you might want to attempt in the future to not base your opinions on incorrect definitions of the terms you use.

Ok... the words below. Do they all have the exact same meaning? And if not, what are the differences? Racism Prejudice Profiling Bigotry Stereotyping

This is brilliant. And a perfect example of How O"Donnell doesn't make good arguments. She's raising a black child in one of the most affluent homes in the country, in one of the most affluent neighborhoods in the country. And yes, being gay is different, we can butch it up and blend in if we have to. Black people can't do that. The whole argument they had was basically about terminology, and Whoopi trying to tell them they are trivializing the term "racist" by using it to describe profiling and stereotyping.

My whole point was try ordering your parents and grandparents how to speak, and see how well that goes over.

Yes, and I wasn't talking about you. Let's see you berate Cher for calling Kathy Griffin a "bitch". Isn't that a term that is meant to denigrate women? BTW.... in case your'e dense.. when I said "family" Most gay people of my age refer to ALL other gay people as "family".

Then go to your parents and grandparents and tell them the exact same thing. And I've had many a gay man call me "fag", I never take offense in the least. We're all family, we can talk to each other as such.

You all need to respect the colloquialisms of the older generation, instead of trying to force us all into your self righteous submission. If it's not meant as an insult, don't take it as one.

honey... "tranny" is the abbreviated word for "transgendered". It's only only innappropriate if it's used as an insult by a strsight person, neither of which applies here. I refuse to be strangled by politically correct dogma. I'm talking about what Whoopi was saying prior to that exchange you posted.

Whoopi was totally correct. Basically what she was saying is that when you use the word "racist" for piddly sh!t, that really is just stereotyping or ignorance, then you dilute the meaning of the word to the point that today, when someone says something is "racist", the collective reaction of white folks is to roll their eyes and think to themselves "Oh, sure..... EVERYTHING is racist nowadays, ain't it" and it's just dissmissed out of hand, even if it's REAL racism, like Whoopi described. Whoopi is the only one on that panel with any sense. She's the only one I'd be friends with. Who was the tranny that was on today?

No, I agree with PARTS of what she said, that's why said I "kind of" agree with her.

You can always depend on Ann Coulter for a good laugh, but I kind of agree with her here. It might the FIRST time I've agreed with her.

Ann Coulter should know, she's a woman! http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/12/ann-coulter-most-women-who-say-they-were-raped-are-just-girls-trying-to-get-attention/

No, dumbass..,, I said I didn't like that she called DOWN SYNDROME people "Retards", I have no problem using the term for people like you. So why don't you take a trip to hell in a pair of kerosene drawers.
