Sharon Osbourne's live meltdown

She's perfectly in her right to ask for specifics. And this is not a meltdown.

[...]

She will go to work with Piers at the new morning show. End of.

[...]

r1 The answer she was given was a word salad hollow cop out.

Sharon is such a cunt.

Seems like everybody was coddling Sharon and trying to placate her.

[...]

She's a racist cunt herself, so it's no surprise she'd defend that scummy Brit.

I can't stand her. But I can understand her irritation. Claiming Piers is a racist just because he doesn't like Meghan doesn't have to be at all true at all. Hating Piers Morgan is the easiest thing in the world even without the racist tag.

R7 Welcome to White Karen world. POC and Black people continually have to placate. We are called aggressive and threatening when we don't. It honest to fuck is like walking on eggshells daily around White Karen's. R8 thanks for your comment. Datalounge has changed the last two weeks. I have actually started to avoid the place because of the overwhelming amount of racist comments I have been reading. Quite a few of us regulars are thinking of going elsewhere.

She and Sheryl allegedly got Marie Osmond fired.

Fire that cunt’s ass now! Sharon is a miserable old witch.

r12 I thought Sharon and Marie Osmond were good friends? I remember seeing a picture of them having a meal with Jackie Collins a year before she died and they seemed extremely paly?

r8 Any specific examples of what you describe please?

I thought Piers hates Meghan because she dumped him?

I read a post recently by a black woman who talked about how all this woke culture really infantilizes black women. She said it makes black women look like they can't handle criticism and that they need white warriors to jump in and defend them whenever they are asked to explain or defend themselves. She talked about how this woke culture and cancel culture is watering down what racism really is and diluting the focus of efforts to really address and combat racism.

She pretty much was attacked in the comments by people saying she is only one black woman and one black voice and that she doesn't speak for anyone but herself and that she is pretty much alone in that viewpoint.

R2 Define "shouting" I didn't hear any. Have you ever seen The View? That's shouting IMHO!

[Quote]Piers has a prolific history of trashing women of color for no reason at all, all white cleverly avoiding any racially charged words..

I can't find anything about this. And I looked. Seems to be Meghan related only from my search.

This is such hypocrisy on Sharon’s part. Didn’t her talentless spawn call out Giuliana Rancic for far less when she criticized Zendaya for having braids at the Oscars?? Kelly basically insinuated she was some kind of racist for doing so! Now Piss Morgan criticizes Megs and just because Sharon is friends with this degenerate it’s okay?? I can’t stand the Osborne cunts. They need to die in a grease fire.

R11 lately it seems to me the tables have turned

Isn't Ozzy dying of Parkinson's or have they given up pretending they love each other?

I still don't understand why a half black/half white woman is called a black woman. Isn't she a mixed race woman?

I feel sorry for that poor dog in in the basket. It's probably chewing it's feet off.

R22 Its Doria who is half/half. Meghan is a quadroon.

The Talk is such a low rent version of The View. They can't even do a "Rosie vs. Elizabeth" throwdown...I never forgot when years ago Julie Chen went on Howard Stern Show and ridiculed The View for their hosts turnover and now The Talk is far worse.

wtf...link? i don't see it anywhere here?@

we all don't have streaming everywhere, please provide a link to the story you're posting, please and thanks. we all don't have time to keep up with all the gossip sites.

r19 How does her daughters choices and actions make her or any parent a hypocrite?

OP posted a link.

R28 she raised that miserable little cunt. That’s how.

Are we all supposed to pretend we don't know Meghan is lying?

I mean, Piers is ridiculous and obsessed with her, but c'mon.

Sorry, i don't see the link. i looked again. maybe i have them blocked?

i went back and reloaded the whole site. no link, just the answers to the thread. so i must have the poster blocked. i guess i'll search for it myself.

The Queen will probably make Sharon a Dame now.

i found enough clips that are so wrong. Sharon has lost the plot. i mean she can have her own politics, but her politics kind of suck if she just doesn't SEE his shit from 1000 miles away. sorry for her. She and Piers are not sticking up for anything...they are parading bs UK rag shit. Sad as we all see it.

R11 Oh, you poor thing. I would say 'Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out', but actually I think it would be good for you to stick around to learn what most people really think. We hate the lies of Meghan Markle and we hate the lies of Black Lives Matter. You live in such an echo chamber that the truth comes as a shock, I'm sure.

R31 = Piers. Fuck off.

You fuck off R37.

R36, fuck you, you racist bitch.

I know nothing about this show, but viewing this clip in a vacuum makes it seem that Underwood cannot point to specific statements but can only imply that intemperate criticism of a black woman is misogynistic racism. No QED there.

I’m trying to not read a lot of this so I grant that this isn’t the broadest view out there. Just based on this clip.

What an interesting man R40 is,

R22 Doria is not mixed. Both her parents were black.

R40 They never have any evidence, just feelings. Any criticism of a black person, especially a black woman (or in Markle's case, a sort-of-black woman) is apparently racism. People are getting sick of it and a backlash is building.

R42 Only black in the American sense ie quite mixed. Not black in the proper full-on African sense.

In our company, we had a woman who fudged the numbers in our accounts and embezzled over $2000. She was fired, then she claimed she was fired because she is black. It was a clear-cut incident with the numbers on documents, solid proof. Yet she continued to tell anyone who would listen she was fired because she was black, and we were a racist company. She convinced some of the elders in the black community it was true. For the next five years, we lost business and we were told it was so because we were racists. How does any person get away with that?

Mixed people are very much black. Also Sharon was very rude and disrespectful to Cheryl. Swearing to the point that the camera had to cut to an above shot of the set did not look good for her. She may be the producer now but she can still be fired. And I hope she is. Cheryl can be annoying at times but she did not deserve to be spoken to like that.

R46 As long as she's fired because she's a cunt, not because she's a racist cunt.

Or maybe she should be fired because she's a cunt who's racist. Someone help me out here, please?

I love Sharon. She can do little or no wrong. I wish she'd be back again as a judge on one of these talent shows.

Oh Christ! I hope she's not heading to GB News too.

It took us long enough to get rid of this bitch to the US. She is rude, racist and obnoxious woman. We're well rid of her from these shores.

Sharon KNOWS Piers Morgan is racist. He’s a major Trump ass kisser. So don’t anybody pretend Cheryl had to provide SPECIFICS. if you don’t know he’s racist and that Sharon was defending a racist you’re too stupid to breathe.

Of course Osborne is going to defend Morgan, they were all buddy buddy in Simon Cowell's Syco productions of X Factor & BGT.

Sharon is clearly biased which clouds her judgment in this case. Not that I care about Sharon or her opinions.

I mean, Joan Rivers was a total suckup to Charles and Camilla and badmouthed Lady Di whenever she could.

Most people play favorites and would spit on Jesus himself if he finds himself on the opposite side of a feud with one of their friends.

May Piers and Sharon never grace our screens again. Bye Bye!!! Assholes.

[quote]$20 she's leaving the show within 24hrs.

You think she's giving up that paycheck? Her old cash cow can't tour anymore to make the big bucks.

Like Piers, she'd rather quit than get fired when given those two options by the producers and showrunner.

She’s a fucking nasty person, and exudes vitriol and hate from every pore in her body.

“If anyone should be crying, it should be me!”

Wtf, she went full Karen.

[quote] “If anyone should be crying, it should be me!”

Dear Sharon,

sit down with me for an interview and I give you something to cry about, you basic bitch!

R16 Yep. But it sure pays off for white women with no discernible skills like Robin di Angelo.

It’s very condescending.

I'm starting to understand why Ozzy choked her, he was probably, just trying to shut the vile shrew up.

R16 Isn’t that the case for each of us? We all represent one viewpoint - our own.

r16. That sort of group think is not limited to black people.

Adam Kinzinger is being canceled by his own conservative tribe (even family members of his) for speaking his mind which apparently doesn't represent the GOP, sorry, GQP.

Every group and community has a group think mentality not every member agrees with 100%. And it's up to both the group as a whole and the individual to decide whether the (slight or big) difference in opinion is a deal break or not.

sorry, is a dealbreaker or not.

"Corrective evolution." Interesting. Some folks understand nothing about human nature.

Calling all snowflakes to unite! We must cancel Sharon, the time is NOW!

She's a heinous beast.

Her 15 minutes were up a long time ago

I'm so weary of hearing discussions of " racism" toward blacks.

Marie Osmond is smiling right about now.

There are numerous examples of the UK press making Meghan out to be evil for the exact same things Kate did.

There are a lot of examples of headlines and articles that used dogwhistles like "straight outta Compton" and "niggling" and comments about Markle's mother being an unemployed pot-head living in a neighborhood riddled with gangs and violence, and stories about Meghan being sent to Africa to get her out of the Queen's way.

The whole point of a dogwhistle is to say something racist in a sideways manner to give yourself plausible deniability. In a world where trolls are constantly using "niggling" or "niggardly" to be racist, when a rightwing tabloid uses it, it's AT BEST a mistake; at worst, it's also trolling.

Piers Morgan, a rightwing stooge who hacked into cell phones for Rupert Murdoch, has been frothing about Meghan Markle for years now. When told that he was crossing boundaries with his attacks, he couldn't handle it and left his post on live TV, then flounced rather than deal with the complaints.

Sharon's only real argument here is that "he's my friend and I think he should have freedom of speech to say what he wants, and you're persecuting me by implying I'm a racist for supporting my friend."

That's bullshit on so many levels, I can't believe anyone would defend this. Piers has freedom of speech, he's still tweeting, he could have kept his job and not quit. He didn't want to deal with the CONSEQUENCES of his speech, and Sharon doesn't think he (or she) should have to.

Someone asked Sharon about how defending Piers might sound like defending his racism, and she went into Karen Meltdown Mode, doing the EXACT same thing Piers did: pitch a fit rather than address the question or accept criticism like a grown, mature adult.

It's baffling anyone would defend either of these people. They both had professional ways to deal with what happened, but instead pitched shitfits for attention.

Word Up!

Sharon is a Royalist Tory and she whined about her own suicide attempt/depression repeatedly. It's incredibly hypocritical for her to defend Piers Morgan's comments calling Meghan a liar. She's trying to make it about "racism" when that isn't even why Piers got canned.

R71 Oh how ridiculous. The word 'niggling' is quite common in British English ie. a niggling suspicion, a niggling doubt etc, particularly in the register that most of the broadsheets are written in. If reading that acts as a trigger for anyone, that is their problem.

OMG I am so sorry I used the word 'trigger' in the previous paragraph. It must have devastated you to read a word that rhymes with....

Regardless of how one feels, I forgot how much superior The Talk is compared to The View. Each co-host clearly articulated her perspective and tried to engage in a reasonable, easy-to-follow debate.

On The View, the co-hosts often go off on illogical tangents and resort to ad hominem attacks. Sarah Haines is the only one willing to have a discussion to try and fully work through an issue.

Is Cheryl the pussy stink woman we always talk about?

She’ll be gone by tomorrow.

BYEEEE

Good lord. Piers Morgan is the hill she’s going to die on? Oof.

If you kick every Latino out of this country then who is going to be cleaning your toilet, Donald Trump?

They're ALL garbage, R25. "The View" should've been canceled years ago. And I actually used to like Sharon, until I saw that clip @ R4, whenever it came about (just two or so years ago?). Sharon is a cunt, and total trash. Television will be better off without her.

[quote]She's perfectly in her right to ask for specifics. And this is not a meltdown.

It was. That dried up trout pulled out those white-woman-harrassed-by-black-woman tears quick smart.

[quote]Oh how ridiculous. The word 'niggling' is quite common in British English ie. a niggling suspicion, a niggling doubt etc, particularly in the register that most of the broadsheets are written in. If reading that acts as a trigger for anyone, that is their problem.

r74 That was a headline on a tabloid next to a picture of Meghan's face announcing her engagement to Harry. They ABSOLUTELY meant it to read in a spurious way in that snide, giggly, faux-innocent way they celebrate some fat lady like Kirstie Alley or Gemma Collins showing off her "tan, flashing pins".

[quote] I still don't understand why a half black/half white woman is called a black woman. Isn't she a mixed race woman?

Yes but it is only her black half that offends the BRF, Piers Morgan and Datalounge.

Sharon is racist. White people who are racist always overreact in this way rather than just listening.

Ok things that hurt Sharon in the segment:

1) Defending a Right-winger , Trump lover like Piers:

We all know the more flagrant Trumpists have problems with "others" . Others meaning LBGTQ, any person of color, immigrants, and women if they are not conservative and stupid. Meghan checks many of those boxes, especially the foreigner given she is an American and we are discussing Brits' reactions and trashing of her. Despite what people want to admit Brits love to look down on us much in the same way many Latin countries look down on Mexicans and Guatemalans.

2) Not acknowledging it might be a racial angle motivating Piers and the tabloids in regards to Meghan. "Why can it not be he just doesn't like her? Why does it have to be race?"

3) Trying to justify her acceptance of someone's bigoted views because "it's his opinion":

Mexican's are dirty criminals is an opinion, Blacks are inferior to whites is an opinion. Gays are sinners and sick pedophiles is an opinion . I like Cool Ranch Dorito's is also an opinion. Not all "opinions" carry the same weight, implications, and consequences. We are all mature enough to know when someone starts down the Bigot Highway it leads to actions.

4) Sharon not making the connection by allowing a bigot in your presence under the title "friend" you are actively admitting this person's views are okay! I.e. you have no problem with it and lack some degree of empathy. Even if situational you expose your own bias.

5) Her justification he is a Royalist and grew up believing you serve your Queen and country:

Like point #4 she fails to see that the British crown was literally a colonizer. The Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade had a British route and let's just pretend South Africa which was raped for its diamonds and wood is just a Qanon theory. Yeah.. lady Royalist might as well be Son/Daughters of the Confederacy. Lastly, like wtf are you not seeing how in THE nation that kicked Britain's ass and in many ways far surpass it today how that was not going to play well with American's in general ??

In short, she removed all doubt she is an idiot.

DISCLAIMER: These are not my personal feeling. I'm just highlighting reasons why I can see she is getting backlash.

"I read a post recently by a black woman who talked about how all this woke culture really infantilizes black women. She said it makes black women look like they can't handle criticism and that they need white warriors to jump in and defend them whenever they are asked to explain or defend themselves. She talked about how this woke culture and cancel culture is watering down what racism really is and diluting the focus of efforts to really address and combat racism.

She pretty much was attacked in the comments by people saying she is only one black woman and one black voice and that she doesn't speak for anyone but herself and that she is pretty much alone in that viewpoint."

Is this black woman named George Glass?

Can we just fire all white people from all entertainment jobs and only have black people on TV and in movies? I’m tired of this shit daily. It’s like we’re living in some watered-down Frau version of 1960s Alabama. This topic dominates everything and it WILL NEVER be solved no matter what is done. People are out for blood, for revenge & power not equality.

she just posted this insincere message on twitter "reflecting"

damn I was hoping her career would be over too but she loves to be on tv too much so she backed off. She's full of shit

Sharon is trash just like Piers Morgan

Great another fucking racist trash thread.

I've been here for almost 20 years. There's always been a vein of racism running through the site, but these Klan Grannies have taken it to unfathomable levels.

Fuck off back to the Daily Mail, you racist cunts.

R89 says the misogynist, if you want to split hairs. Go clack your fan to Drag Race as you scream YASSSSSSS

R87, how white are you?

Oh Sharon, go the fuck away! Insincere, nasty old cunt.

[quote]she loves to be on tv too much so she backed off

I suspected she would, with Ozzy sick and neither one of them living within their means, money meant more to her than anything else. This may have even been her plan from the beginning.

Cheryl’s pussy stinks.

PURGE ALL DISSENTERS

r30 At what point are people responsible for their own behaviour? Its a big leap to say Kelly said something prejudiced or racist etc there her mother brought her up to be racist and is therefore a hypocrite. A big leap and beyond oversimplistic.

R1 and R2 did you bitches even LOOK at the video? Sharon was totally erratic in how she was while everyone else was calm. I applaud Sheryl for not losing it, cause you KNOW they would call her the angry black woman attacking poor Sharon. Sheryl has a point: Piers did not say explicitly racist things, however, the way he has gunned for Meghan and continuously attacked her like she's the absolute worst person to ever live. How DARE she even marry into the Royal family, all while ignoring Prince Andrew's child rape claims. And Sharon knows this. She's being a fucking BITCH.

r97 He has commented plenty on Prince Andrew and called for him to be stripped of his titles.

Karen Osborne is and has always been an evil witch. Why anyone in the US pays attention to this monster is a mystery. She needs to fuck off back to the UK to be with her good buddy Pierce.

I believe Sharon and accept her apology. I hope she won't be fired from the show or "cancelled" because she doesn't deserve it.

I think she was told to grovel or leave. She has bills to pay.

Newsflash: we are all the human race. Everyone trying to benefit from or be a victim of differences in skin pigmentation is exhausting. Get the fuck over it.

Another faux apology like Justin with a tweet typed by an puny relations person. Insincere!

She’s the British Roseanne.

Sharon Osbourne looks like a fucking waffle cone.

Sharon is a nasty miserable old cunt.

This is karma for her implying that Chris Harrison was a klan member.

She sent her personal assistant into A HOUSEFIRE!!! to save her no doubt tacky art and then fired them for complaining, she also bragged about shitting in another employee's suitcase, so the woman was already known to be a truly evil and crazy cunt.

The show used to be fun with Julie at the helm.

Sharon is a god damn mess! Her hubby cheats and she allows it.

Cheryl could have cussed Sharon out and REALLY made her cry.

Another example of this bullshit about everyone is racist and all white people are evil. Excuses excuses

I honestly think that segregation will return to the world and Blacks can live in Black City's and Whites can live in White City's and calm will reign in the world again.

From twitter in a direct response to Osbourne's tweet:

'I think Sharon was lying about being depressed and suicidal in the past. She just made it up for attention in the media. Sound familiar?'

It’s nothing to do with race. The racism is actually fine with TPTB. Piers got canned because ITV is doing work on mental health and the hill he was prepared to die on was that be believed that Meghan Markle lied about suicidal ideation. The charities and advertisers he and they worked with complained that his rants were contrary to all the work they had been doing and caused the very harm they were trying to stop. Anyone in a similar position would be similarly reprimanded, not just in media.

Bull. Shit.

Sharon’s black cohost was having a normal conversation and Sharon took it over with her iT’s WoRsE tO bE CaLlEd RaCiSt ThAn To Be RaCiSt years. She didn’t WANT to listen.

Sharon should have vetoed the topic. Bringing it up on the air made it a bigger deal than it had to be. It would have blown over if they just ignored the whole thing.

R97 You said that Piers did not say explicitly racist things and that is why Sharon wanted specifics not tears.

R102 newsflash: you're an ignorant shithead. And unfortunately not everyone sees people the same way you do. Stay off these threads instead of dictating that we need to "get over it" and bury our heads in the sand like you.

God bless Sharon Osbourne. She is really about to be fired because whiny bitches on Twitter with nothing better to do with their time except bitch about everyone and everything under the sun couldn't keep their mouths shut. Well, she has a supporter in me whatever she decides to do next. And as for The Talk, I'll never watch another episode if Sharon is gone.

By Bitch!

Bye Bitch...and Grammerly wants me to pay for it?!

R121 Speak for yourself. She is one of the most interesting people on television. What else does The Talk have to offer? The rest are boring ass bitches. Sharon Osbourne IS The Talk. They get rid of her, they get rid of the show and it will be off air within 6 months.

The Talk has lots half of its audience since Julie Chen left. I blame the cunt Mrs O. She’s a cancer.

Wasn't it rumored that she kept Ozzy on drugs because he was usually easier to control? (except the attempting choking of course which was probably justified.).

R124 Julie Chen stood behind her husband after he tried to fuck half the women who worked for him and tried to sabotage Janet Jackson's whole career as punishment for the Superbowl incident because how DARE a black woman have a breast. And after he was exposed for being a sexual creep, Julie decided to start calling herself Julie Chen-MOONVES instead of just plain old Julie Chen and that was a "fuck you" to all his victims. Yet she still gets to host Big Brother.

I think that's worse than anything Sharon did.

CBS is grandstanding because of that stupid royal interview. But as others have pointed out, the network has a history of racism towards black actors on their shows. Ask Taraji P Henson. And of course, comparing their actions towards how they treated Janet and Justin Timberlake.

What happened to Eve? She was doing the show remotely and then just seemed to stop showing up. They have two random women on the panel now.

They need to restructure and bring in some big names again. Brigitte is excellent on her guest appearances. Carnie Wilson is good as well. Why these two have never been asked to be permanent is interesting.

I have no use for this woman otherwise, but she's absolutely right, I'm with her, I'd defend her and I'd say fuck the haters who try to shut people up by parsing words to help them scream *RACIST!!!*

It's a uniquely American phenomenon that has now spread like a shameful cancer to Great Britain. It's literally becoming socially illegal to question anything about the black community or a black person if you're skin isn't dark. That's where we are.

So she is going to lose everything because of Piers fucking Morgan? I'm sorry but he isn't worth all that. It is a real shame. I feel bad for Sharon.

I have watched this video 5-6 times...

I truly admire Sheryl remaining so calm as Sharon barely stopped herself from imploding/exploding.

And I agree with Sharon, that nothing Pierce said about MEGAN is racist. (I have no idea what other shit her friend has said though about other folks)

And from what Sharon said on this show alone, I do not see how she can be accused of being racist- ON THIS ALONE. She seemed genuinely hurt/offended. And do I admire a loyal friend- Sure. But again, I have to google Pearce and see what other shit this guy has said. And from what I know politically, he is GARBAGE. So that for me is a strike against Sharon.

My main issue is the "ghetto" comment about Holly. That to me IS racist when said regarding any person/people of color. Even when said about a neighborhood- it comes across racist and denigrating to me.

I suspect what will get Sharon fired is Holly's tweet/accusation. I truly saw nothing offensive from the conversation with Sharon and Sheryl.

Sharon demanding an explanation of/or examples of racism from a POC about a racist is what will get her fired. Raising her voice in anger? Telling her "don't you 'dare' cry" '? Fuck you, bitch. That's over the line right there with that superior demanding the inferior to not 'dare' react bullshit. Fuck her right to racist hell.

She said it clearly and loudly right from the get go. She knew where her attitude led and how it would be interpreted and did it anyway. Spare me. Her outrage and tears were a result of her knowing it was the end for her and that she couldn't hide her bullying and racism behind her 'cheeky' brit humoUr any longer. Bye bitch.

[quote]Pierce ... Pearce

You tried twice and still got it wrong both times.

[quote]MEGAN

Also wrong.

What should get Sharon fired was her use of the F word on the show. She knows that she’s on live tv and she couldn’t control herself. Fuck her and fire her saggy ass.

I also think her hairstyle and coloring deserves to be fired.

It's not live R133. It's taped earlier in the day.

The rules are:

If somebody is deemed a racist (this applies to transphobes as well), you have three choices available to you.

a) join the pile-on and demand their cancellation. If they are a friend, family member or colleague, publicly condemn them and never speak to them again.

b) keep your big fat yap shut about the whole thing, lay low until it blows over, and never mention it in public, ever.

c) defend the person, which will put the stink of racism on you as well, and put you at risk of your own cancellation.

I've always thought Sharon was a sharp cookie. I'm not sure why she option c was the way to go here. Maybe she thought she was too powerful to be at risk herself.

Back in 2013 at height of Justin Bieber’s bad boy behavior, Sharon said, “I think that he’s lost. I really do. I think he doesn’t realize he’s white and not black, that’s a huge problem”.

She would up apologizing for her comments on The View a few year later.

R135 Yes, the show is live,except on Friday. The controversial show on Tuesday was indeed live.

[quote] b) keep your big fat yap shut about the whole thing, lay low until it blows over, and never mention it in public, ever.

I'll take "b" for the win, Skipper!

R5 Angel, don't understand what you mean. What's a salad?

"What should get Sharon fired was..."

This is the problem. Erasing people because they don't think like you is bad.

Well after the Leah and Holly tweets Sharon is done.

Painful to watch. "He's my friend,I'm not going there".

This was a last ditch effort to help the ratings. But I think they will finally get rid of Sharon. Good riddance.

sheryl u big fat bully !!!! u had no specifics of what piers said....weak.

but how will her fugly daughter get plastic surgical and more shitty clothes???? if her ass is fired.....

I’ve never watched this show, but I just watched this clip. That’s not a meltdown. She was perfectly measured and reasonable. They all were.

It’s ageism trying to bully Sharon for this.

WTF? Sheryl gave no specifics bout piers to sharon. Be strong sharon!

[quote]White people who are racist always overreact in this way rather than just listening.

Bitch puh-lease, call someone black a racist and watch the fur and excuses fly. It's IMPOSSIBLE to be black and racist! I'v literally read that here on the DL.

Yea, reverse racism is rife these days.....gonna get weird.

Odds are good that Piers would hate Meghan if she were a full white American actress who blue balled him. But can we ignore issues of race? No, that’s being a part of systemic racism. We WILL include the fact that Meghan is black, we WILL ask for her experience. If certain things made her feel bad in reference to being black who are we as krackers to ignore that? Let it all be laid out there and then we can confront whatever’s making someone uncomfortable. Being white as snow and denying racism through anger and tears is bullshit. If it hurts your heart to have someone think you’re racist that’s good, use THAT as an impetus to really listen to someone and let them say they’re black, they’re gay, they’re a woman or WHATever, and let them say why certain things affect them in regards to that.

I sure wish homophobia was called out with as much fervor by the black community as they do racism.

Crickets.

The Talk was canceled on Monday and Tuesday so the lawyers can work out how to fire Sharon.

R152 being racist while diatribing about racism. Nice.

I don't watch The Talk but Sharon came off nasty and too self-righteous. I hope they fire her ass.

R155 I’m racist?

i prefer sharon to that fukking turd megan mccain....

Sharon's a hateful bitch and that alone makes me she drowns in her own shit.

Sharon has caused the show to air repeats Monday and Tuesday. Vile cunt.

Sharon shoukd remain on the show with a huge ass raise in pay as this has people talkkng about this shit ass talj show like never before. Have Sharon and Cheryl mud wrestle next. Sharon is a massive cunt and i love her for it.

She's just playing the victim and trying to make it look like she's being attacked to garner sympathy. She's a whack job and frankly I think a good psychiatrist would diagnose her with some form of personality disorder.

It’s a witch hunt. Sharon isn’t racist.

the black chick on the show callin her out, with no specifics of piers racism.....sad

[quote]Sharon isn’t racist.

The ghetto comments say otherwise. Her meltdown says otherwise, she made everything about her -- about her friends, her age, how the black women weren't allowed to feel a certain way, only SHE was allowed to be hurt and to cry. She basically said that racism never happens and the real crime here is that she and Piers might get accused of racism, which shouldn't be allowed.

When she came back after the commercial she was even more confrontational, and demanded this black woman "educate" her about the whole thing. Underwood said she didn't want to talk about it because she didn't want anyone to think they were calling Sharon racist, and Sharon spat out that it was too late for that.

Underwood was trying to calm the situation down. Sharon fans NOW claiming that Underwood not explaining and "educating" Sharon means Sharon was the victim here is really, really rich.

On top of all that, Sharon is a Brexiter and a good friend of Piers Morgan and probably a Tory, Ozzy has said "well, Trump gets things done, regardless of what you think of him" and in the same interview Sharon said Boris Johnson was "just an eccentric."

With all that, there's no way you can say unequivocally that Sharon is not racist.

“I have black friends...”

I like how R165 says Sharon and Ozzy are racists because they have expressed favorable/indulgent views toward Trump/Johnson. Things really are getting out of hand...

[quote]Sharon has caused the show to air repeats Monday and Tuesday.

Deadline: The Talk has canceled its live shows for tomorrow, Monday, March 15, and Tuesday, March 16. The staff was notified Sunday of the hiatus which comes on the heels of CBS on Friday launching an investigation into the heated exchange at the top of Wednesday’s episode.

Scheduled guests included Elizabeth Vargas (March 15) and Carly Pearce (March 16). The show is currently slated to return to originals Wednesday, March 17.

“We are committed to a diverse, inclusive and respectful workplace,” CBS said in a statement Friday night. “All matters related to the Wednesday episode of The Talk are currently under internal review.”

R87, why not talk about racism all the time? Given how much it interferes with peoples lives and even results in more than a few deaths, what reason would there be for not talking about it so much?

Other than you are tired of it.

And let me guess...you are white and it does not directly impact you?

[quote] It's IMPOSSIBLE to be black and racist!

Against white people. The power dynamic is different.

Black Jamaicans despise black Nigerians as a rule. Is that racism?

You get rid of Sharon the show is over and you may as well cancel it. She is the only one who brings life to that deadly boring show. And they want to get rid of her for misspeaking once? Fuck that and fuck them. Everyone in charge at CBS are diots. Sharon Osbourne IS a good woman and it is sad to see her being punished for nothing. All she ever wanted to do is be a good friend. She saw Piers suffering and felt sympathy because of her empathetic heart. She is most certainly not racist but they're trying to force a racist label on her anyway so they have an excuse to fire her and it makes me sad. I hope she isn't too upset by this bullshit.

R172 = Sharon. Will you be sending feces to your co-workers?

[quote] I hope she isn't too upset by this bullshit.

Meghan made her cry. At least she didn't throw a teapot at her head.

[quote] Black Jamaicans despise black Nigerians as a rule. Is that racism?

They’re the same race, cracker.

Better not tell the Jamaicans that or you will be outed as a cracking racist R175.

Sharon owes Sheryl a HUGE apology ON AIR! Fuck off until you do that Sharon you vile vile vile cunt!

R177 For what? She didn't say anything bad to Cheryl or about her. She just said she doesn't think Piers Morgan is racist and asked Sheryl to explain why she thinks he is. That is all.

So white people should sit there and shut up and accept any and all things blacks do whether good or bad? Thats IGNUNT!

I cannot say I ever saw Sharon Osbourne in anything but a few clips over the years.

But she does seem to be a piece of work. There is always something she did or said that stirs the pot.

Is being a bitch her shtick?

R167 - if you’re not “racist” and support Trump, who openly courts white supremacists, then at the very least you have no conscience.

If you're going to be friends with - or even defend - a loathsome creep like Piers, at least acknowledge the fact that he's an asshole, says shit to provoke outrage and and is often mean & nasty in a way that is unnecessary & hurtful. That's a fact. It's not necessarily a fact that anyone who criticizes Markle is a racist - maybe you are or maybe you're not, but just criticizing her is not inherently racist.

I suspect that there is a lot of shit that Sharon has done & said which causes her to be very defensive (for good reason), but rather than flipping her shit, she could explain like a coherent adult that you may hate Piers and think he went overboard in the stuff that he said about Markle, but that makes him an asshole. Not necessarily a racist asshole

All she had to say is, "he's my friend and I stick by my friends", "no one wants to see their friends in trouble"

That's it. If this cunt wants to lose her job over someone like piers morgan, she deserves every single thing she gets

Cancel the entire family. They've always been vulgar, greedy, slobs

[quote]Sharon Osbourne IS a good woman

We have literal DECADES of evidence that says otherwise.

Rolls eyes at R170.

It appears day is coming when all the white Karens and POC will create a revolution all by themselves. I wonder if the liberals can just stand in the background and watch it all happen?

Nice racism, R175.

The word "racist" is thrown around incorrectly as much as the word "homophobe". If a white person doesn't like a person of color simply because he feels that person is a bad person, that is not racism. If a white person dislikes a person of color simply because his skin color is different, that is racism.

Fire that fucking cunt Sharon. Let her go back to her cheating husband. Go away bitch. Please and thank you. Just go away. Cunt.

This thread was hijacked by a woke BLM troll. The one yelling "cunt" in all the replies, and screaming about the Osborne woman apologizing? That's one person.

I heard her say nothing wrong, certainly nothing that would equate racism. But let's be honest; for most American black people, racism is when a caucasian disagrees or dislikes an African American person for any number of basic, standard social reasons. The unhinged woke crowd, (mostly black twitter, lead mostly by black women under the age of 40) are trying their fuckworthy best to literally outlaw the mere offense of someone black. And fuck if they haven't come close to it. Where will all those rabid black twatters run to when they finally ignite a national race war? Because they won't be happy until they do. And the real racists are just itching for it. I say let them go after each other and rid the planet of two vulgar demographics of humanity.

When someone says "Let's be honest" it usually is a signal that they are about to lie.

r190 is the guy who started the thread on John Kerry today, saying he was exactly like Ted Cruz. R190 is a lifelong Democrat who simply could not vote for Kerry because he's so evil and awful, doncha know.

Has Leah Remini commented?

This is the new reality we live in. If you don't see racism everywhere and denounce it, that is proof that you yourself are racist.

It is very similar to how accusations of witchcraft were handled in the 1600s.

Has Julie Chen-Moonves commented yet?

The difference is that only a fool believed witchcraft was happening. But today only a fool cannot see the workings of racism.

Maybe a better analogy is that all these people who claim there is no racism and white people are like those who went around saying that they were virtuous, while killing innocent people as witches.

Non-white people are the new witches.

They are destroying our crops, our economy, and corrupting our youth. Anyone who says that our misfortunes are due to our own folly, is clearly in league with those dark-skinned witches.

Sharon Osborne disingenuously trying to force Cheryl Understood to use the same definition of racism as her own, when Sharon is a white racist and Cheryl is black, is one of the most disturbing things I’ve ever seen on TV. I hope Sharon was fired. I don’t know how Cheryl kept her cool.

I don't know if anyone else got this vibe, but when sharon said, "and don't you dare cry", I felt like she was really saying, "don't use the race card"

R198, that is exactly what she meant. She knew if Cheryl cried it would make her look bad. But she looked bad already.

Sharon Osborne is the literal current definition of cunt and relishes in being so, for at least two decades. Fuck her. Her time is up and if I have to go along with the SJW “cancel” crew so I don’t have to hear about her anymore... I’m in.

Say why you will about Julie Chen Moonves, the show reached its peak when she held the reigns. She kept the show light and funny. The ratings have gone downhill since she left. Every segment is about social justice and Sheryl looks literally terrified of saying the wrong thing. She asks Elaine “ am I right Elaine?” After everything she says

Elaine is woker than woke and gets off on feeling superior. She is who twitter outrage would be if it was a person.She is ruining the show.

It will be over in by the end of the year especially if they cave to the woke mob and lose their remaining viewers.

She's a spindly withered crone and she knows it so she just gets meaner with every passing day, not that she was ever very nice to start with.
