Re: Lindsay Lohan: "I wasn't driving. the BLACK kid was"

Don't act as if you know what i'm doing. Just because i can see both sides doesn't mean i'm pro- one side or pro- the other. You've got some nerve to even think that.

The problem is that being able to see both sides doesn't mean you need to give both sides credence. It's fine to state that which each side believes, but you can't always be on the fence; you aren't always allowed the benefit to believe in gray.

The problem with perception of something being racist is that it means that you need to worry the perception of every action, and that makes no sense; instead of just doing things, you need to worry about the perception of each and every one of your actions. And outside of politics, that just doesn't make any rational sense; where does it end? If a janitor points out that he is cleaning a black floor, does it mean that he thinks that all blacks are dirty? After all, I am using "black" in a differential sense; how is that any different than just differentiating someone, in an objective sense, on the basis of an obvious difference?

If i wanted to say she was racist, i would have came out and said it. But i simply said it was perception - and it was. So unless you have something more pressing to accuse me of, i'd suggest you back off.

The problem is that there is no difference, PR-wise, between being perceived as being racist and being racist; it's the same thing and there is no effective difference besides semantics. By pointing out that the perception is there, and that the perception is acceptable, you also point out that she is racist.

Yeah, I get that you are merely saying that what she said can be perceived as racist. At the same time, realize that you are okaying people to say that any statement, regardless of whether or not it actually was racist, can be racist just be perceiving it to be so...

That is sort of what this thread is about: Should a person be judged as being racist based on a statement that she didn't even say and that, even if true, was not inherently racist? Or is the statement that someone is black a racist statement?

Re: Lindsay Lohan: "I wasn't driving. the BLACK kid was"

Who cares. Lindsey is a coke and alcohol addict who is a threat to the public. Crashingone car and getting pulled over in another while being drunk is putting innocent lives at risk because of this twit.

Re: Lindsay Lohan: "I wasn't driving. the BLACK kid was"

I wouldn't be surprised if she's prejudice, who cares, but I'd probably like a better source of proof than TMZ

Lindsay gets off easy for cocaine bust! I hate celebrities......

The D.A. filed seven misdemeanors in a Beverly Hills courtroom this morning against Lindsay Lohan reports TMZ . No felonies were filed and a plea bargain may go down this afternoon. She was charged with two counts of DUI and if convicted will go to the slammer for a minimum of 4 days.

The D.A. said the amount of cocaine seized from Lohan wasn't substantial enough for a charge. He said it was below the .05 grams required by office policy for felony filing.

TMZ said that being busted twice helped Lohan, because it shows the D.A. that she has an addiction problem. The fact that she went back to rehab also helps her.

One source said, "Prosecutors in this county see a lot of kids in crisis. There are lots of kids struggling with addiction. The first sign of trouble usually involves a car. We're not going to throw every one of them in prison. It doesn't make sense."

Her career is dead anyway. She's too much of a liability, and the last hit she was in was Mean Girls, which came out in 2004.

Re: Lindsay gets off easy for cocaine bust! I hate celebrities......

As much as I think she's getting off too easily, I don't think being a celebrity helped her in this case (tho' it probably didn't hurt her).

She had "below the .05 grams required by office policy for felony filing". Celebrity or not, barring a little corruption on the part of the prosecutors, there wouldn't be a felony charge.

I personally have met several people who often do a night here or two nights there for misdemeanor drug possesion.

Re: Lindsay gets off easy for cocaine bust! I hate celebrities......

It's all too obvious that celebs usually do get breaks.
In this case, it was a small amount of drugs. Most prosecutors go after the dealers and distributors. Lohan's major source of income is as a movie star.
The long term effect on her career remains to be seen. If she continues on this path of self destruction, her career will be shot.
But then again, look at Kate Moss. The picture of her snorting cocaine was front page and now she's back at the top of her game.

She is a allright singer, and the queen of remake movies, I think her career will be fine.

...Assuming she has the discipline to actually work.

Yeah...like what's that fuck-up Demi Moore doing now. Her career and life-style in the early 80's was almost exactly the same as Lindsay Lohan's now. She was fired from General Hospital because she couldn't keep the snow out of her nose.

You never know how people can turn their careers around.

Agreed. She simply lucked out and didn't have enough cocaine for felony charges.

Meh.

Is she killed herself at least that would be entertaining.

Watching her stagger around Hollywood is SO last year. If I have to hear one more person brag about doing blow with her I shall scream.

Re: lindsay lohan gets 1 day of jail?

When are these young girls going to grow up and start acting like human beings? Or is this seasons must have a jail sentence? I'll just be glad when the latest must have is a noose around the neck.

 

[Soilwork]

Re: lindsay lohan gets 1 day of jail?

I didn't think much about it but yeah... This season's must-have IS a jail sentence that's either ridiculously short or CUT short.
