Rosanne

Great response from drugs company today:
https://www.theguardian.com/culture...bien-racism-tweet-side-effect-response-sanofi

"The drug manufacturer Sanofi felt compelled to clarify that one of its most popular medications, the sedative Ambien, does not cause racism. They tweeted that “while all pharmaceutical treatments have side effects, racism is not a known side effect of any Sanofi medication”."

Am sure some of you heard about Rosanne and her tweets, latest was blaming it on the medication she is on. Would have a lot more respect from me if she just owned the mistake instead of blaming it on everything else than herself!

You mean like rogercon who are out and out racists and seek to hide nothing?

It has been pointed that on American TV that it has been said that Trump is part orangutan.

No one minded until now (except Trump).

Roseann's supporters are calling for the person to be fired from his show.

Bill Maher said a joke once about Trumps hair being the same colour as an orangutan and offered 5 million dollars for proof that Trumps dad wasn't an orangutan or something along those lines. I guess there wasn't any racism in it or meant because the it was a joke and a joke that was also about Trump offering 5 million dollars for a copy of Obama's birth certificate.

Trump went to sue but dropped the lawsuit quickly. He wouldn't have won but it's great for keeping Trump in the public eye.

Yes, I know, but the joke was a reference to Trump's colour.

Difficult being a comedian these days as you risk offending people. And being offended seems worse to people than just about anything else.

Yep Trump is one of those especially his ego.

Much simpler in the '70's. It was great being white male back then.

The joke being nothing has changed. The only difference is how repressed free speech has become.

Oh....ok.

Hair. The joke was about his hair colour.

Not really a racist joke in my book.

Only in Essex

If anyone had the right to be offended I would have thought it would have been the Orangutans,being compared to Trump could be traumatic, unlike other protected minority groups Orangutans don't have very good Lawyers.

Grins, well said!

Oh....ok.

Human beings don't change. No amount of government tyranny is going to eradicate social and racial differences.

Not sure if the law actually includes taking the píss.
