ALGAYDO 35,509 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 So, it's okay to be an offensive (Caucasian) asshole towards millions of people (O'Reilly), but not okay for a POC (Aslan) to be offensive towards ONE person just because he's a (Caucasian piece of ****) president... okay.

I mean, CNN and Fox News are different companies. You can't compare O'Reilly to Aslan because they were not under the same leadership. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeehawKylie 7,817 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Anderson Cooper made a similar comment about a Trump supporter defending Trump even if Trump were to defecate on his desk and simply had to make an apology. Firing seems extreme. It's his opinion on twitter. CNN readily invites white supremecists on the air to spew their hatred for the ratings, surprised they don't appreciate the drama of it all.

This was meant more as a general overview of caucasians vs. POC in media as a whole, as in all of them in American TV, not individually. But you do have a very good point, I must say ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Not an excuse for what happened tho. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This comment from Aslan doesn't seem terribly out of line, compared to others that have been allowed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's a weak argument Definition of POC is naturalized, hence totally depends on one's appearance and associations. Reza Aslan is a professor who speaks english as one would expect from a highly educated individual, also he doesn't dress up in some local attire, not even look "POC". I don't think anyone considered Aslan to be a POC. For those who don't know this is Reza Aslan: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Thats not how being a person of color works sis It's not a conditional or temporary state of being. Albino black people are people of color, light skinned hispanic people are people of color, light skinned black people are people of color, mixed people are people of color (at least in America). You may have a different level of privilege than other people of color, but its all intersectional. Also, "as one would expect from a highly educated individual" what? That's actually hella problematic 私自身もこの世の中も誰もかれもが, どんなに華やかな人生でも, どんなに悲惨な人生でも, いつかは変貌し, 破壊され、消滅してしまう. すべてがもともとこの世に存在しない一瞬の幻想なのだから Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supersonic 49,376 Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Is CNN desperately trying to gain a conservative followship to out-fox Fox News or what is happening? They used to be reputable but as of late they are constantly serving low-brow "conservative disguised as a liberal" kinda BS. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
