Michael Moore's take on Sam Bee, same as mine...


Michael Moore
?

Ha! The White House today, still not denouncing Roseanne’s racism, tries to confuse the issue by going after Samantha Bee’s brilliant rant against Ivanka last night. Watch it here:
SAM BEE: TRUTH-TELLER!

I have no use whatsoever for Ivanka or the rest of the clan, but I fail to understand how name calling makes things better.

the C word is in any way acceptable, you really need some sensitivity training.

And yeah, I know some women don't mind. But those of us who do, I can assure you, mind enough to make up for 5x as many woman as don't mind. It's one of the most disgusting words in the English language.

And I'm disgusted by Bee's use of it. The bit is great; the usage of that word is not. So many other words would've been just as effective in the bit if not more so. Shame on her.

Correct though. In the US that is a horrific word to call women.

you know what you are getting ahead of time. she's says what she means on the show, full frontally, just like the title, not swept under a blanket of a tv show "representing a part of America" while racially attacking others and acting like a moron on social media. false face on the screen projecting lies on one of the big 3 networks, but acting horribly behind the mask.

no where near the same thing.

Go, Sam!

Interestingly, I am currently reading a book titled "The North Water.' It is about English whalers in the 19th century. The word "c**t" is sued as a derogatory (and often) term for either sex.
