Has Shaming people become the Norm in America?

[legalboxers]

In the past few days, there was a gentleman who was out of work, who was an actor, on a now non-syndicated television show since the main actor was named in a lawsuit. His name, Geoffery Owens of the Cosby Show

Why did this happen? Why did a certain news channel believe that this was correct?

His supposedly fall from grace has made him do the walk of shame. But everyone needs to work and make a living, right?

wow.. really?

But a certain "well-known and factual" News Channel, believed that shaming someone is proper

But Im sure people forget their starts, and where they came from. and forget that one day, that well will run dry, and they will end up doing something, which maybe beneath them.

When Madea calls, it’s worth a listen.

Filmmaker Tyler Perry offered a job Tuesday to “The Cosby Show” alum-turned-Trader Joe’s cashier Geoffrey Owens.

A photo of Owens, 57, working at Trader Joe’s accompanied by job-shaming coverage recently went viral, prompting Owens to defend himself on “Good Morning America.” “No one has to feel sorry for me,” said Owens, who played Elvin on the hit 1984-1992 sitcom. “I’m doing fine. ... Every job is worthwhile and valuable.”

Perry, perhaps best known for playing the cranky grandma Madea in his popular film series, wrote on Twitter that he respected actors “who hustle between gigs,” so he offered Owens a job on “OWN’s number one drama.”

Summary of My MyTake:

We forget that in everything, we work hard to get to where we need to get to. We do not shun people on their beliefs, their opinions because it does not bode well with yours, we will not speak ill of someone because of whom they are and use talking points to make ourselves feel better by talking ill about them, or laughing at their misfortune.

Nice mytake.
There's no shame in an honest job.
Not sure why some people feel the need to mock him or to put a spot light on his job.
Nor am I surprised in the least to have seen this on this particular news channel as they tend to cover such "news" as this. Myself I could care less about it and am proud that he has a job. It's only too easy for actors to get caught up in the Hollywood lifestyle.
After all a job is a job and we all have bills to pay and food to put on the table.

Why make fun of a guy for working? I don't get that. Anyway, I would suggest that you be careful to not overstate the importance of one tiny-ass segment on a cable news channel, especially one like Fox. It doesn't mean that most other people would shame the dude.

Fox is highly influential. It's where half of GaG users get their opinions.

[Anon-ymous1]

@MarketData It is unfortunately highly influential.

Yeah, the internet has made people into assholes. Or at least made it easier to be one anonymously, in public.

[BillieJean1070]

Sadly it has.
