Hollywood Producer Apologizes After Racial Jokes About President Obama Leak To Public
What is great about this story is it just once again proves the hypocrisy of the left. These are Barry's Hollywood "buddies" and strong supporters. There isn't a real bone in any of those people. It is all hypocrisy and fake.
Quote:EXCLUSIVE: Producer Scott Rudin has issued a public apology for the racially insensitive comments that surfaced last night in an exchange of hacked private e-mails between him and Sony Pictures Entertainment chairman Amy Pascal. Joking references they made to black-themed films that President Barack Obama might like were not meant for public consumption, but they are hard to defend in the harsh light of a public forum, without context. Rudin made the point in this morning’s New York Times about this hacking breach was a criminal act, when he was asked about other hacked e-mails between the producer and Pascal referencing the movie on Apple’s Steve Jobs. Here, Rudin said he simply wanted to apologize.
“Private emails between friends and colleagues written in haste and without much thought or sensitivity, even when the content of them is meant to be in jest, can result in offense where none was intended,” he told Deadline. “I made a series of remarks that were meant only to be funny, but in the cold light of day, they are in fact thoughtless and insensitive — and not funny at all. To anybody I’ve offended, I’m profoundly and deeply sorry, and I regret and apologize for any injury they might have caused.”

I don't find this unrealistic at all, honestly. We're all probably guilty of it in some fashion.

Likely.
I will say that they would probably still be funny ""in the light of day" if uttered "by the correct person(s). It's just that this guy "isn't the right person".
Now he has to deal with a sh!t storm coming from the PC Police. However, if he's sufficiently liberal, he'll get let off the hook by the media with this apology. If he were a known conservative - they wouldn't let up until he lost his job. That is how the PC crowd and media get to choose who gets crucified and who gets a slap on the wrist.

This is a prime example of why lefties are so ugly due to the stress of going through life walking on eggshells and doing everything they can (even if it means being fake) not to offend somebody's sensitive feelings.
Too afraid of backlash. Wimpy bastards.

Probably no doubt about it. It's the reaction by others, the arbiters of who's allowed to be Ooooooffended and who isn't, that illustrate the hypocrisy of the intolerant leftists.
But, I will say this. This clown pretty clearly confirms zerO's contention- that we're all a bunch of racists. Especially the cowardly, white, leftists.
Oh. And Kim Lung Un is giggling into his rice soup ALLLL day long on this one. Bet that's the last "assassinate Dear Leader" movie we see out of Hollyweird.

They only voted for him because he's black, to prove they weren't racist. Too stupid to realize that voting against him isn't racist in the first place.

Why be a closet racist when you can simply offend everyone and avoid the stress.

Or maybe he's just a regular guy who makes a couple off-color jokes now and then.

I don't have a link, I'm going by what I think, therefore I don't have a link and can be written off as bad info. However, I can assure you that it's not just 2 out of millions that do this. And, in my opinion, I find it hard to believe that ~90% of lefties that condemn people for this haven't ever done it or currently do it now, amongst their closest friends.

Sony Exec Who Made Racial Remarks About Obama Calls Sharpton, Jackson To “Heal”
Isn’t it racist to assume black people need “leaders” and insulting to think they want leaders like these guys?
Quote:Amy Pascal is in crisis mode following the leak of racially charged emails between herself and producer Scott Rudin in which they mocked President Obama.
As a result, the Sony co-chairman has reached out to both Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton to begin the “healing process.”
“I’m being proactive,” Pascal told The Hollywood Reporter about her conversations with both leaders. “And I want to accept responsibility for these stupid, callous remarks.”
Pascal and Rudin talked about what to ask Obama at a fundraising breakfast in the fall of 2013. The exchange suggested she bring up black-themed movies including “Django Unchained,” “12 Years a Slave” and “The Butler,” as well as comedian Kevin Hart.
“It was a very preliminary conversation, and we just talked about getting together and hoping to discuss a healing process,” Pascal said of her conversation with Jackson.

You never used the N word? Ever? You never told or condoned the telling of a racial joke? Ever? By definition, your being a liberal automatically makes you a racist.
