  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I looked at her IMDB page...I've never seen any of those movies.

I've heard of three of those movies.

Hmm.

Probably not enough explosions and people getting hit in the crotch.

Cute reply. I didn't ask about mocking though but rather about impressions. Sad if you don't know the difference.

Discussing the accuracy of facts in a news report is not really the time for impressions.

Prosecutor: The victim states you dumped him out of his wheelchair and beat him with a stick. How do you respond to these allegations?
Defendant: Have you seen this guy? [Does impression.]
Judge [giggling]: Case Dismissed!

But thats not a fair comparison. You are talking about a judge, trump was a presidential candidate therefore your analogy falls flat. :scratch:

What are the right occasions for televised impressions? On light entertainment programs, late-night talk-shows, maybe even a reality TV show.

Would Trump in blackface doing an "impression" of Van Jones cross the line with you, hypothetically speaking?

One would think that Trump, himself a 14-year veteran of reality TV, would know that.

Let's be honest. She's an actress. She doesn't make a product. She exists for my entertainment. Without my dollar, she's not a millionaire. She doesn't get a big platform to use.
If you made her a millionaire then you are not real good with the money in your entertainment budget.

Who's Van Jones?

Suffice to say, he's a reporter, and he's black. You can Google the rest.

Would you think it's okay if Trump "impersonated" him in blackface?

You didn't know who Serge Kovaleski was, but that didn't stop you.

So c'mon, why can't Trump put on a good ol' fashioned minstrel show?

He is the dude that declared the election results were 'white lash' against obama. The fact is, obama was elected twice and got plenty of white votes and clinton lost in reality from; minority lash, with fewer blacks, hispanics and women voting for her compared to obama. Jones was so ticked off, he got very close to losing control on CNN. I used to like the guy, but lost a lot of respect for him.

Doesn't ring a bell at all. Perhaps since I don't watch Clinton News Network.
