Trump inserts his foot in his mouth - again

How is ABC Television allowed to have a show entitled "Blackish"? Can you imagine the furor of a show, "Whiteish"! Racism at highest level?


What a complete buffoon?? Oh and a week late, too. The show premiered last week dumbskull. He really should give up on Twitter. He really doesn't know that everyone can read what he writes. It makes him look like a bigger fool than he already is . . .

No it doesn't. It's impossible.

I now know the show is on the air! He sure likes giving advertising to that which he hates - doesn't he?

I'm watching this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black-ish

Advertising exec Dre looks forward to a promotion that would make him the first African American senior vice president at the agency where he works in the premiere of this family sitcom. However Dre worries that there is a price to pay for his success when his son Andre Jr. announces that for his 13th birthday he's converting to Judaism in order to have a Bar Mitzvah like his friends.

I could only sit though 5 minutes. I mean the black father wears sneakers to work while the white employees dress more formal and he is getting a promotion. I was so let down by this show. The show with DL hughley was much better portraying a rich blck family.

But I will watch it again tonight because of your comment.

Even My Wife and Kids with Damon Wayans was better

I think this show can be better, too

Does anyone actually take him seriously? Is there anyone who legitimately goes on there because they feel Donald Trump is an admirable person? I just have a hard time imagining anyone going on there because they genuinely want to hear what Donald Trump has to say.

those black-white barriers that Republicans love to keep up. It poked at both black stereotypes (grape soda, fried chicken) and clumsy white over-compensations and the "urban" olive branch.

It's no HBO-quality show, though. It has network-stupid stink on it, but it's better than pretending black-white issues don't exist.

So as to distinguish a new gaffe from the two-day-old one, and from the five-day-old one, etc.
