Duh!

I guess in the entertainment industry that means she contributed to the RNC once. Just because one black actor claims she made racist comments or took her humor wrong does not mean she is a supporter of white nationalist groups.

austin said...

lmao - I was kinda bored with today's blind buffet until this.

Winter said...

I assume the black actir/incident you're referring to is Aries Spears telling a story of how she commented that the dirt under her fingernails made it look like she had been raped by a pack of n----. That is a ridiculously racist, offensive and humorless statement, if it was said. Moreover, the blind said nothing about that story. It alleges she donated to a type of group. 2 separate instances. Also, another commenter said something about her being Jewish. There are plenty of people who don't really like their own kind. It's not an unbelievable scenario by any stretch of the imagination

david said...

After posting -- and because i found this hard to believe -- I looked it up.
I found that back in August, 2016, Aries Spears on a radio show accused Alex of being racist right in front of him and Debra Wilson while on MadTV back when it was on the air.
Maybe there is some truth to this.
Oh, my!

Re: "There are plenty of people who don’t really like their own kind." She's very much a supporter of the #ResistTrump movement and has expressed on her Twitter how appalled she is that Steve Bannon is a white supremacist. She retweeted Chelsea Handler addressing the issue on Feb 2 with this comment "Please read this carefully. It's horrifying. We can stop this."

austin said...

Apparently she used the "N" word in jokes she told in their presence during their MadTV days.

This one sounds fake said...

Jewish people usually don't go for the nazis, you know cause of the whole nazis murdered millions of jews thing ? But family guy, the show she's on can be incredibly racist and misogynistic at times.

andy said...

Miss Swan?!

austin said...

Yeah, Seth MacFarlane has even said that Family Guy's politically incorrect comedy premise draws it's inspiration directly from the 70s/80s TV show Those Were The Days character Archie Bunker.

OKay said...

Da fuq? No, she voices Lois on Family Guy.

Guesser said...

White nationalist groups hate Jews more than anything. Since this is a solved blind, it could be considered libelous. It could have just commented on her racist comments, which she apparently felt comfortable saying in front of people she thought were friends.

austin said...

I think he's questioning whether she's the same comedy character who played Miss Swan on the MADtv series. She is.

Do Tell said...

"All in the Family" was the name of the show. "Those Were The Days" was the theme song.

Ay said...

Uh, she also played the character miss Swan on mad tv.

Ay said...

Nice try. I doubt many celebrities will admit they're or racist, or support Trump for that matter.

austin said...

You're so right. Thank you!

austin said...

She's Jewish, and she has unequivocally expressed contempt for white supremacists - you know.. the Nazi movement that Adolf Hitler who tried to wipe Jews off the face of the earth started? Nuff said.

Ay said...

She's a celebrity, whatever she says publicly is to maintain an image.

A lot Asian men don't like blacks. I think sometimes people hate not because they had a bad experience with someone of a particular race but no Jew would be apart of organization that believes Hitler did the right thing. No Jew. Unless they need a hospital and a white jacket. That's not hate that's mentally unstable. I'm only 50% Jew and I could never be apart of anything like that.

Shalene said...

A lot Asian men don't like blacks. A lot of Mexicans do too. Some just don't like each other's culture like arabs and Jews don't mix well.
I think sometimes people hate not because they hate a color. but because they had a bad experience with someone of a particular race but no Jew would be apart of organization that believes Hitler did the right thing.

Sorry left out a few words *my phone is still messing up typing so slow*

ALL ethnic groups in the world are racist en large. Asians and Blacks are some of the most racist people I have ever met.

Having said that, in today's waycist hysteria, being 'white nationalist' might actually just mean, supporting Trump. Anything that isn't 'I am an evil white devil and I am responsible for the misery of all other ethincities', is deemed racist nowadays.
So over this bs.

Jennifer said...

Until someone calls out Beyonce I don't give a shit. I am tired of this hypocrisy.

Jennifer said...

A white woman was burned alive by blacks. Fucks given by the media: Zero.

(Jessica Chambers)

Sure Thing said...

100s of years of lynching and tar and feathering and burning and car bombs and driving while black. Fucks given by white people who only give a shit if it's a white person dying: zero.

Imprisoned violent sex offenders were more likely to have been male and white than other violent offenders (table 2). Offenders serving time for sexual assault, in contrast to those incarcerated for rape, were substantially more likely to be white, and they were nearly 3 years older, on average, at the time of their arrest for the offense. While about half of incarcerated rapists were white, about 3 out of 4 prisoners serving time for sexual assault were white.

Sally said...

@Jennifer I'm with you on that. Beyoncé is a paradox. She talks about the power of women, particularly black women, yet her skin has been getting lighter for years to the point she almost looks white now, despite her saying some racially-charged things about white people. And her claiming to support women, yet at the Grammys she presented herself literally as a golden goddess being fawned over by other women of varying ethnicities. Talk about deluded.
She must be having some sort of identity crisis. I imagine it must be hard to figure out who you are beneath the veneer when nearly everyone has an opinion about you and people worship the image you present as an entertainer. But why does she continue to tout the strength of black women, while becoming whiter by the day? That's what I don't understand.
Nobody calls her out on it because she is worth half a billion f*cking dollars. I believe there is some truth to her and Jay Z and the Illuminati rumors.
And I believe within the next 2 or 3 years, if he doesn't start singing their praises again like a good little altar boy, we will see Kanye West dead of an 'accidental overdose' blamed on his mental health issues. He is highly medicated now...

marlo said...

Sally - you are far too nice, Beyonce doesn't even know how to spell 'paradox'. She's just an illiterate zombie, doing whatever it is she is told to do.

SarahS said...

Hahaha--I was JUST saying this, this morning! Box of ROCKS intelligence! TRY and interview her with something non-scripted.....its the best!

longtimereader said...

Tell that to vicki nuland.

AppleTartin said...

Bobby Lee told a story on his podcast that after Alex left Mad TV the producers wanted him to take over as Miss Swan. He couldn't believe that they didn't see how insulting it was over how racist the character was and refused to do it.

do_better said...

Oh, that's weird that you think that, Jennifer. I googled Jessica Chambers and found hundreds of articles about her murder. It was even covered by People. I didn't even have to search for "burning" or "murder," her name was enough. What does that tell you? If it doesn't tell you that you're wrong and/or prone to exaggeration/lying, then think on it some more. Stop worrying about Beyoncé and work on your critical thinking skills.

Checkmate.
