Ah so concern trolling. Ignored.


Okay.

I just read things for what they are; I do not put words in people's mouths. If I did, I would be horrible at my job.

Notice how others have to reach into it and find out the real meaning but when Trump says something and people defend him and say "I don't see anything racist about it. I don't see how you could misunderstand it" and then don't read into it themselves because otherwise they're wrong >_>

Actually, never mind. I did like his roasts on Comedy central but the crowd didn't seem to find him funny which had me feel bad for him but outside of that, I've seen him in mostly movies and just didn't like him.

It's like, grow up and realize not everyone sees the world the same as you.

"Grow up and realize that some people are racists and that's fine."


"I'm not gonna watch Roseann because I don't like that she says things on Twitter that I think are racist."

*stops watching Roseanne*
*Roseanne gets canceled*
*The amount of racists and racism in the world stays the same*

This is why it's an overreaction. I'm not saying you have to like what she said. But the fact that people stop watching TV (and the NFL) for stuff like this just shows how overly sensitive we are. Stop forcing companies to fire everyone over saying anything we don't like. It's unproductive and just plain mean. I liked the show Roseanne. But now we can't have it and it's all society's fault for being so sensitive and mean.


Alright, you seem to have bad understanding skills.

Wanda Sykes quit.
The people who were funding it complained.

The world hasn't had a say in this as much as the people who run the show themselves.

if you still don't get it, you're just ignoring some facts so that your argument stays valid which means its not valid.

Everyone took it as racist, so if that really was what she meant that was the time to explain it.

And I think Wanda Sykes should get over it and so should the funders. What are they funding? They are funding a TV show. and Roseanne is making that TV show good. What she says on Twitter is neither here nor there.


Both are allowed to be affected by this in whatever way they want. You said "don't like it, don't watch it' but they're funding it and giving money to a woman that they dislike. heck, Gilbert herself says that she and Barr are constantly bickering because of Barr and her crazy. This doesn't feel like its necessarily the only reason.

If a lead star's own racist rantings aren't a reason to cancel a show, what is?

I'm not complaining about ABC's choice to cancel the show. If they feel that ratings will be bad because of it, then they have no choice, really. My problem lies within the fact *that* the ratings would be bad, AKA society being all like "ohhh Im' not watching Roseanne anymore if she's gonna say stuff on Twitter I don't like"...it's just as bad people being all like "Ohhh I'm not gonna watch the NFL anymore if some players are disrespecting our country and kneeling." I mean, come on people. Show some resilience. Show some toughness. Recognize what you're getting in return. Learn to ignore shit you don't want to hear instead of attacking those that say it.

We are getting so culturally mad at each other. We are all at each other's throats all the time. People are different. We should embrace and respect diversity.


ironically racists tend to not respect diversity but it just sounds like you're saying we should respect her racism because she's different >_> that's how it comes out but I'll allow you to explain yourself before I actually decide that's what you said.

"respect it enough" you lost me. Sorry. I gave you a chance. I don't respect racists nor want them around. If my daughter grows up in a world where people like you are comfortable with admitting that racists should be respected just because they have different beliefs, then I would rather not be in it.

So hatred must be met with more hatred? That's somehow supposed to reduce the overall amount of hatred in our society?


Lol "Let's all defeat racism with love! Everyone, we must love them and if someone is racist, just don't worry about it because we'll defeat it with love!"

From what people seem to be spouting about you, you probably like to take offensive things and defend them and try to come off as some hero.

Racism shouldn't be respected and those who won't go down should never be given the chance to BE respected because then we will fall as a society.
