to just about damn near every infraction and 'outrage'.

So much so, its common place now. Even kozy knitting circles have drama and outrage Online.

But I do just have to ask aloud...

How hard is it to NOT end up in black-face at some point in your life?

To be sure, she has been considered a pretty controversial comedienne at times, but still, people ought to know better in 2007, that blackface is a no-no. Maybe not a "punishable-by-lifetime-cancellation" offense, but there are bound to be some consequences and, let's face it, it's not like has had her whole career cancelled, she just lost a gig.

WTF?

clueless about agreeing to do so a blackface part just before the first black president is elected. Having a hard time seeing why this should be anything but a wake up call. You can't take racists on the right to task while engaging in the same behavior. In what culture is blackface acceptable?

She worked really hard to help get Obama elected in 2008, especially focusing on older Jewish voters who were somewhat nervous about him.

Yes she did do something inappropriate in the context of an outrageous sketch comedy show, but that isn't, and wasn't, the totality of her being. I'm not sure that punishing her for it 12 years after the fact is the best approach.

JMHO.

You'd think at that point in her life, she would have known better.
