She is getting a little taste of her own liberal medicine.

Basically, she tweeted a photoshopped picture of Usain Bolt's now famous picture with her riding on his back saying that this would be how she ran errands from now on. And, just like clockwork, social media parasites deemed it racist since he is black and she is white.

Can't wait for all of the precious little snowflakes to melt and go away.

It really is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. It's not racist in any form, whatsoever. Like you said, though, these people get their feelings hurt so easily and everything is offensive to them.

Racism will end fast if the blacks and Hispanics quit pointing out there differences and begin to assimilate into modern culture.

I'm hispanic and find this comment offensive ;-)

:beer:

I can see how that would be, but the time of worrying about hurting peoples feelings has to stop. I guess I should just clear it up a bit. I'm not saying that a Cuban migrant shouldn't leave the culture he is used to, as far as the Cuban lifestyle that, without stereotyping, they are known for. They are more free spirited and find a lot of joy in life. That is part of their culture. The culture I am talking about in general is the "blame whitey", or "blame the system" mentality that mostly is associated with blacks in a higher percentage. We all have our faults. Organizations like Black lives matter have the right idea, but have the wrong execution and leadership. Marches like what MLK jr. was part of is the correct way to bring about acknowledgment and possible change. It can also create empathy from other races. However, rioting and burning up your town just causing disdain and hate from other races and does nothing to fix the race gap. I've noticed more than ever that the progressives will just shut down, scream and shout whenever you try to have a conversation with them. They can never back anything up with facts. Sure, they will throw statistics out, but you know what they say about statistics.

You're preaching to the choir, I was just teasing. Not offended in the least bit but as a Cuban, I do have some aunts that are super liberal and were actually on the Bernie socialist bandwagon and it made my mother, father and grandparents very upset. They are also easily offended

Anywho, yes, you are right.

I found this wonderful as she is in with the group that is quick to point out and condemn this from the other side of the aisle. Just like the media would have destroyed the GOP if it used a term like "Tacobowl" for the Hispanic vote yet glossed over due to who is using the term.

Racism will end when everyone realizes that no one really gives a shit about offending others, especially in a racial context. People will always have social stereotypes and they will always be used to get at others in a confrontation or just to simply offend someone. The best thing you can do is just stop caring and move on because no one cares. People think that is not fair because people now believe that we all have the right to live a carefree, safe, and somehow wealthy lifestyle which is absolutrly absurd. You dont rate shit from anyone and you rate what you are willing to work for. If you aren't able to come up over the next guy then that is your own damn fault, not his, regardless of his upbringing and good fortune. Just because someone has money doesn't mean they are truly happy. People need to start understanding again that money doesn't equal happiness.

As previously stated,"Idiots being idiots."

I'm not an Ellen DeGenes fan, but she's a very generous person who has given much freely to many over the years and to accuse her of being racist is being an idiot.

This is why I hate social media like Twitter (the worse IMO) and Facebook...and this PC climate we live in today. There is literally nothing a person might say or do that likely won't result in varying levels of negative comments and accusations. Someone always takes an immediate negative spin on something that was generated innocently with no hidden meanings. Like this one from Ellen D. The negativity that Twitter specifically generates is like fingers scraping a chalkboard. Which is why I don't have, nor would I ever have, a Twitter account.

Idiots being idiots.

This is news?

Actually you are correct. News would be someone not acting the fool.

What if she was being racist and actually said something "offensive?" People can have any opinions, likes/dislikes, etc.., regardless of how many precious little bastards find offense to the words. There are so many other things in the world which should cause anger none being mere opinion.

The left has become this ravenous animal that will attack anything it deems a threat and once those are gone, will start chewing on itself. These SJW morons will eventually be whittled to a small faction after they've turned on everyone in their own circles. Kind of fun to watch them cannibalize themselves though.
