Want to make a bet?

For every link you can provide from a black person who says these comments were not racially offensive I will post ten that say it is.

Deal?

Nah, nor are you the ONLY middle aged white many that said these comments were insulting an entire race

I have no doubt a large population of the African American population were insulted with the comments.

Seems you are mistaking me with someone defending the comments. I'm simply asserting comments by ABC employees (Jamele Hill, Wanda Sykes, and Jimmy Kimmel a few) have been made about Trump that are on par with the comments Rosanne made. I suppose there is something in me that doesn't give added merit to a slur based on who it was made about. Now comments that directly name an entire race is a totally different matter. 

But I try not to keep caught up in race. I'd like to see us one day evolve as a society and perhaps one day a slur about an individual can be considered a slur about that individual and not an entire race.
