The cancellation of the Roseanne reboot will cause more anger, not prevent it
The vulgar show that finally gave
conservatives a chance to vent a little bit was canceled because
Roseanne said something bigoted, which minority comedians do every
time they go on stage. But the cancellation, which the culturally
Marxist liberals wanted even before Roseanne said something bigoted,
will only cause more anger, not prevent it. Why?
There is a difference between bigotry
and ethnocentrism and Roseanne Barr's statement on Valerie Jarret was
bigoted, that is, it showed intolerance toward those who hold
different identities from her own (she is Jewish).
But you can prefer your own kin and
ethnic group without hating other groups. Ethnocentrism is an
extension of being kin-centered, and both of those traits are a basic
part of real human nature because they helped humans survive and bond successfully in a dangerous and competitive world.
Minority comedians who have suffered
bigotry against them are allowed to vent and attack the majority,
which is probably why we have so many angry Black and Jewish
comedians, but whites are not allowed to vent anger in that way.
That's how dictators rise.
