She'll get called out for stepping over the line, but if it draws attention to a legitimate issue (which it does) I don't think she'll lose any sleep. By the way, what's more vulgar, calling someone an offensive name or intentionally taking young children away from their families to make a political point?

This is a good discussion about our desensitized society - don't want to get sidetracked with politics. We have other threads for that. I'm a about a generation older so I'm just trying to get a handle on these comments and reaction and some perceived double standards about them. I don't watch Bee but from what I understand she also has a track record. I mean if I told a female coworker she was a C I'd probably be fired. BTW Bee has apologized - give her credit. To continue: For instance my generation always had a problem with the N word - society was always told you couldn't use it. But now it has become popular to use it IF you're black and talking about other African Americans. But if you're Caucasian and say it you're racist. These things just puzzle me.
