People mag apologizes for ‘stupid & insensitive’ tweet about Viola Davis

http://twitter.com/#!/itsjustdebb/status/515339830452961280

Actress Viola Davis played a maid in the film “The Help,” and during “How to Get Away with Murder,” her new show on ABC, People magazine published this tweet:

viola will always be a maid to some people, and that's extremely unfortunate. @peoplemag pic.twitter.com/6rC12e19Sc

— Tracy Clayton (@brokeymcpoverty) September 26, 2014

After some heavy criticism, People deleted and apologized for the tweet:

Apologies for the earlier tweet. We love HTGAWM & The Help, where that quote was from. But it was stupid & insensitive. Won't happen again.

— People magazine (@peoplemag) September 26, 2014

Reaction to that apology? Mixed:

@peoplemag and what about an apology for @violadavis. She was the object of your classless, humorless statement

— Shelley Winters (@SMW220) September 26, 2014

@peoplemag it wasn't insensitive…you were just quoting a line we all love.

— ZachAttackFrankStar (@Snowballx) September 26, 2014

.@peoplemag terrible apology. Who the hell runs your social media? Fire them right now.

@peoplemag It was a fuckin quote from her biggest film.. Chill the fuck out everyone. Geez..

— Kenny (@IKennyR) September 26, 2014

Ay @peoplemag… Y'all need some sensitivity training or something. Maybe y'all shouldn't have beefed w/ your only blk editor. Do better..

— Ama Jane (@The_Black_Jane) September 26, 2014

@RhonRuns @frankibabi @peoplemag They quoted a well know line from the help…it wasn't even like…insensitive. *shakes head*

— ZachAttackFrankStar (@Snowballx) September 26, 2014

@peoplemag "stupid and insensitive" you mean… Racist? viola has been in many other things besides the help… But that's what you pick…

Last night, People also deleted a tweet about actress Kerry Washington during the show “Scandal.”

Poor, poor, pitiful POTUS: Obama doesn’t think he gets enough respect

Has Barack Obama told you lately how hard it is being president? No? Well, it is hard.

During a visit this afternoon with the Miami Heat, President Obama confessed that people are mean to him sometimes. He just can’t get no respect!

Awww … poor baby! Meanwhile, the guy’s got no respect for everyday Americans:

He doesn’t really respect the Constitution, either. But please, be nice to him, you guys. He has feelings, too!

Respect is earned, Mr. President. Something you clearly known nothing about.

James Woods: Will Lois Lerner finally desert the sinking S.S. Obama?

As Twitchy reported, the IRS claims to have lost more than two years of Lois Lerner’s emails, including communications with the White House and other agencies, including the Treasury and Justice Departments and the Federal Election Commission. Actor James Woods wonders if this is a sign that Lerner will jump ship rather than take the fall.

Demonstrably, because was each day shutting-in “y.” Exactly what sparked that tweet regarding the girl latest idiocy? In fact, as Twitchy reported, a great youthful giraffe through the entire Copenhagen Zoo had been shot to demise. Officials stated it turned-out to avoid inbreeding and the headlines sparked a bizarre comedy system from Axl Rose.

Thereafter this took place:

That guy from that one show goes on an idiotic rant against 2A

http://twitter.com/#!/back_ttys/status/471464760178147328

He’s one of those verified Tweeters you’ve probably never heard of. Apparently he was in that show “Raising Hope” so if you watch that one you might know who he is. One thing for sure is that Lucas Neff is a typical gun grabbing Hollywood lefty without a lot of intellectual fire power when it comes to the Constitution. It looks like he had a couple of white wine spritzers and started feeling his oats tonight.

To all the right wing dudes and gals implying you'll shoot me on sight if I try to take your guns away.

I will be happy to come down and personally take your guns.

Unarmed.

With a ton of video cameras.

Let's see your alpha bravery in person.— Lucas Neff (@RealLucasNeff) May 28, 2014

Walking in unarmed to take someone’s guns would be a total Chuck Norris move, if you were Chuck Norris, and it might require the defensive use of firearms if the gun owner had weak Kung Fu.

On the other hand, chances are this guy would be met with—at worst—a sound beating, but probably only a wedgie … or maybe a swirly … a great deal of derisive laughter in any case.

Actually you’d prove that a dude with a gun killed a person. Drawing a generalized conclusion wouldn’t be any more reasonable than if we said—for example—your rant proves that “C-list celebrities with Twitter accounts say stupid things.”
