Sounds like a case of “I know more than my boss and should have her job” syndrome.
White 617ch will say something stupid and I can get one step closer.

ANYTHING a White says or does, or doesn’t say or doesn’t do is eligible to be called racist. The non-White has power over the White, and can get the White fired or thrown in jail for whatever the non-White accuses him of.

The White has no recourse, no defense, and is presumed guilty.

You were offended by a commercial advertising an upcoming product that you, and I, will never watch? If that’s how they want to waste their money, then fine. Their return on investment for that piece of garbage will be negative.

These media corporations will never learn.

"In 2013, Paramount decided it would once again try its hand at producing original content for television... At the time, Powell was considered a star executive on the rise. She had headed the company's digital department as well as its low-budget film shop InSurge. Paramount hired Powell to oversee its latest foray into the television business. News of her dismissal was a surprise to industry observers who expected her to receive a high-profile job."

That's life for white folks. It's all good till you make ONE remark that ONE black person doesn't like. Then, down you go.

actually he said “colonels sanders said the n-word and never got in trouble for it”

But there’s no context to the statement.
It’s obvious they were discussing racial issues and impacts on the company and maybe he was just making a hyperbolic point about what he said (saying the NFL kneelers were hurting sales) compared to what colonel sanders said.
There’s stories out there saying they were roleplaying and he was supposed to act like he was defending racial epithets.

Regardless I don’t for a second believe what he said was racist or an inappropriate use of the word.

This was a lynching, pure and simple.

The Trayvon Martin Show? Seriously?

Dying was quite a career move.

The people who started all this racial hyper-sensitivity may not like where they finally wind up.

The end result of this, may be that white people might decide to start asserting their own racial solidarity, and stop caring who gets upset about it.

Well, it was The Nashville Network originally, and then for a little while Spike TV, or Spike... and then became Paramount Network just recently.

Oddly enough, it’s not on my package from Comcrap, but I can watch “Yellowstone” on Video On Demand for free. It reduces the commercials to about 3 or 4 per episode, and I can still fast forward through them, even. So - yeah me?

“Free speech”
If a dark skinned guy can call another dark skinned guy “a n!gger” or “my n!gga” or anything close to it, but it’s verboten for any light skinned people to use it, and the light skinned guy has to be fired, and sent to the reeducation camps.

It’s a word. Just like honky, cracka, cracker, etc. Someone calls me a name, I ignore it - cause my self worth is not derived by what someone else thinks of me.
