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.

So not only do the queers rank below the Muslims in the liberal pecking order of protected classes, they also rank below blacks. Now for the next round of the playoffs, who wins out between blacks and Muslims?

But as for the queers: Get back in your place, Ellen.

I saw a photo of Gwynith Paltrow w/o war paint.
Her skin looked the surface of the moon.

I never saw what was ‘its’ attraction. But of course I have never been politically correct.

I love the editorializing in the original Yahoo story - they come right out and say of course no one would ever believe that DeGeneres was a racist because all her life she’s fought for equal rights and even had this Bolt guy on her TV show - what a far cry from Trump, who’s also hired all matter of people for his projects and promoted many “minorities” to high level positions, but is branded a racist and misogynist for calling out some women and immigrants.....

Yeah, it was right up front. `some say’ and `nothing to see here’:
“some claimed that a humorous Usain Bolt tweet ... “

Just dumping the boiler for a fellow `rat to keep if from blowing up the haunted hotel.

So-called “entertainers” today wouldn’t have been worthy to shine Gleason’s shoes.

Really? why? It’s kind of funny.

A picture of someone on the back of Phelps while swimming would be funny too.

You didn’t get your liberal vaccine this year!! :)

DeGeneres had this to say: I am highly aware of the racism that exists in our country. It is the furthest thing from who I am.

Typically lame excuse from your typically lame racist. I'll bet the Hollywood branch of the KKK meets in her living room.

You know, i’m 48 and I would say that I’ve changed a lot regarding thoughts about race.

I judge people by who they are a lot more than I maybe did in my teens.

So i just see TWO PEOPLE in the picture. And it’s funny.

One would HAVE TO be a racist to see anything else.

I still go off on rants about BLM and the sad thing is some of my posts make me sound a lot more racist than i actually am.

Have to stop that.

I’ve gotten clobbered in the pat when i didn’t put my sarcasm tag :)
