Talk show host Ellen DeGeneres defended herself on Tuesday after some claimed that a humorous Usain Bolt tweet sent out from her social media accounts a day earlier was racist.

*snip*

DeGeneres’ popular Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts often feature funny images that have been altered to include her. On Monday, her accounts sent out a picture of her riding on Bolt’s back during Sunday’s 100 meter semifinal with the suggestion she’d like to use the Jamaican sprinter’s word-class speed to get her errands done faster.

She makes me puke. She is a very sick woman and it is reversible with shock treatments.

Before she went full homonazi, Ellen was funny. She was right up there with Seinfeld, she had great observational and story-telling humor. This was back in the 90s when she was doing stand-up and ABC gave her own show.

All of that went to crap when she came out of the closet.

Put some Glasses on her and she looks like my Wife’s 85 Year Old Father. Goodness, how old is she?

Doesn’t she do Cover Girl Makeup Commercials?

Maybe Quikrete needs a Spokesperson.

I liked her Airline Seat routine, the fully upright position.

I find it funny, and I think the real racists are the people whose minds immediately went to race. That said, Ellen is a card carrying member of the liberal media/Hollywood who are the biggest promoters of “social justice.” She found out that she is not immune from the same standards that they use to go after people - usually conservatives. She is being hoisted on her own petard - a victim of the identity politics espoused by her fellow liberals.

In my opinion not racist, merely inane.

I take no pleasure in this.

I take great pleasure in this! All of her excuses are essentially, "But I'm a Liberal!" I.e., "Give me a pass, because I have the 'right' political orientation!" Implying that if a Conservative were to have done this, he should still be lambasted.

Had she been a conservative, there would be a “media firestorm” for the next couple of weeks, and no amount of apologies would be sufficient.

Precisely!
