I think Chelsea and her round table guest all make racist comments. Whether they be white, black, Asian…etc. They all have fun around the table…they know that it’s a joke. I mean that’s what comedians do they joke. We all know that when we are at home when no one hears us we joke about other races too. It’s a fact that everyone has to live with.

Black people saying stuff like, “There’s too many white people on that show” is funny, largely because there’s a tongue-in-cheek acknowledgement of what has, until nearly very lately, of the disproportionate amount of “white programing” there is to “black programming.” And, at the end of the statement, it’s a joke - much the same way that Chelsea Handler makes jokes to interview subjects like Akon about the difference between black people and white people’s opinions regarding jail-time (and this reflects a particular institutional truth regarding the disproportionate amount of black people facing jail time compared to white people).

It’s a farce - and a disservice - to pretend that everyone is the same. Various experiences in this country, black, white, rich and poor, are different. I don’t look at someone who has a billion dollars and say, you know, we’re really the same. Because we’re not. We have different opportunities, different interactions, different world-views, and thus different experiences.

What’s really (obviously) sad is Tim’s response. I think it’s totally fine to point out and joke about different identities and experiences, but his hatred is so unfortunate, especially considering the American experience. The creation of United States (that I assume he feels as though exists only for white people) was, unfortunately, contingent on the elimination of a very-large percentage of the native (non-white) inhabitants of the continent, and then the enslavement of millions more. The whole idea of “going back to Africa” as something of a self-entitled order is such a disgusting, unappreciative, disrespectful statement to make that takes no time to consider what was lost in order to create what we have.

Chelsea is a race-traitor. But, if wiki is correct and her father is a jew, that would explain it. I think the filthy bitch should be dropped off in Zimbabwe (formerly Rhodesia) so she can have all the nigger she wants, including on a plate!! The problem is, this witch and her jewish producers are pushing interracial amalgamation for whites, which is what jews constantly do. See the cover of ‘Vogue’ magazine, for example. Vogue is owned by the Samuel Newhouse (jewish) empire.

TMS: Sounds like you’ve got some anger going there, Tim. Seriously, why can’t we all just be people. If you decide to comment again, leave off the offensive language (”filthy bitch” “nigger”), or I’ll have to delete your comments.

I have never seen or even heard of this show, but that could be because I don’t have cable or satellite. I chose to do without television because of the quality of programming. I agree that the racism in this country is rampant, and in reverse to what it used to be. I have encountered the same types of issues: black people making anti white comments, and agree that racism is racism whether the racist be black, white, or any other color. The racism also extends to the freedom of religion we “supposedly” have in this country. We definitely need some changes.

I’ve seen the show, on occasion. I totally agree with you though, and we’ll never read or hear about this one from Al Sharpton and his group.
