The maker of Ambien is hitting back. People of all races, religions and nationalities work at Sanofi every day to improve the lives of people around the world. While all pharmaceutical treatments have side effects, racism is not a known side effect of any Sanofi medication. I was just coming in here to post this tweet. Sanofi has killed me dead.

Arkady Babchenko is not dead. It was a sting to catch the people who ordered the hit:
I have a friend who's a Russian expat journalist living in Kiev and he is very critical of Putin and in the media pretty often. I'm worried for him. I'm reassured that Babchenko wasn't actually killed, though.

Trump's bitching ABC hasn't apologized for bad things said about him:
Uh, calling out your lies and bullshit isn't mean, racist, or uncalled for, genius.

You guys, my MIL's cousin just shared a "Share if you think the View should be cancelled for what they said about Trump" meme and it is taking everything I have not to point out she supports the NFL kneeling ban so shes being super hypocritical. (For the sake of family harmony, I can't. Long story.)

cakewench ,I think you need to say something. That is some asinine racist bullshit. Saying something specifically to her will cause no end of grief from my MIL. (We're heading to visit them at the end of June and it's going to be 4 days of nonstop Fox News and Game Show Network. Ugh.) However, I have made plenty of non-specific general posts of my own on the subject, so that will have to do.

John King and guests were just talking about how 45 supporters are turning on Gowdy.
I guess the 40598345345345345 hours spent grilling Hillz on Benghazi just weren't enough to keep them liking him.

From FB: "When you make Big Pharma look good in comparison, you've done something very wrong with your life.'

If we take absolutely nothing else away from the conversations here in recent weeks, it's to stop ignoring racist grandpa to keep the peace. Nothing is ever going to change if we shelter other white people.

@ges072115 - I asked her what hateful comments the women on The View made, since I cannot watch (it's on while I'm at work) and haven't seen any coverage of them saying anything racist and disgusting like Roseanne did. And if they did say something, racism is wrong and ABC would be equally within their rights to take similar action, and should. That shit should not be tolerated.
Basically, asking for receipts, for which there are none. Because if Joy or Whoopi said anything like what Roseanne said, Fox News would still be giving it prime time coverage, and we all know it.

This is a good way to approach something like this, because it puts the focus back on the reason Roseanne was cancelled- racism. People want to try to compare calling names and racism to minimize the offense.

Racism isn't "just name calling," racism seeks to undermine a person's value as a person.

So I finished the town hall. There was a conversation about microaggressioms when a woman discussed how sales clerks will look past her in the middle of a transaction to tell the person behind her, "I'm sorry, I'll be right with you." I can't imagine how exhausting that would be. And as a white customer, I don't think I would even have picked up on that because I'm not living her experience of being looked past. It was really heartbreaking to hear how something as simple as trying to pay for a pair of jeans can make a person feel less than.

His statement seems to suggest audio. I feel like he means recorded phone conversations.
