well, there are a great many who have seemingly lost their minds ... more than a few of them actually have ...

as for the pseudo-outrage ... it's not just on the menu, but highly fashionable as well ...

meh, a common, old joke. Funny under certain circumstances when the set up is there...like here where the moderator confused the two black men. Obviously the confusion was not because the moderator could not tell them apart physically, she made a name mistake and Clinton made the move.

But it's tired and recycled, not hysterical, just kinda, one-ha when used right...like in this video.

no one really thinks that "they all look alike" anymore, therefore the joke now is a joke on old, wrong claims. It's now a joke on history, and the handful of those holding on to those good old days, not on black people.

I disagree though. Anyone who does not harbor racist feelings could use this one liner under a similar set up as Hillary had done for her. Had you, a conservative, been in her situation, you very likely would have had the punch line pop into your head too, and you would have delivered it efffectively like she did, and no one would have thought poorly of you...unlike people here who are straining credibility in doing just that to her.

tell me you really aren't that sensitive.

The double standard is real.

Saying "meh" and ignoring it does not diminish that.

And my sensitivities have nothing to do with it.
Otherwise I would have been offended by Hillary.

try to keep up.

Dood,you watched it.
you saw there was no racial prejudice implied, only hoped for here.
Diminish would imply she had racist intent. Impossible, given the facts, that I could diminish something if it did not occur.

So it's ok to repeat as long as it's a joke... Didn't it originate as a joke..?? Trump can use it freely now..?? 🤔

It is a good question philosophically.

Is it ok to yell TRUMP! In a crowed movie house?

she said it to the woman(moderator?) who picked the wrong black guy...that's why it was meant as a joke. She was feigning indignation (like this thread) at the woman as though she really believed she could not tell them apart...something racists used to claim as true.

tell the truth...if you really watched it... was there ever even one second that you thought Hillary said it as a fact that she believes to be accurate?

I'd ask the same of everyone else. I'd find it hard to believe if anyone heard it as a serious verbal put down of blacks.

Of course we are not respecting that she is guilty of joking while being Hillary....

No matter where, why or what if.. I don't think it was cool to keep it alive.. I still believe if Trump had said it, no matter the context, it would be all over the news still... 😟
