Roseanne has always been a quality show. Now that it's cancelled, I have no reason to watch ABC.

The move comes after series star Roseanne Barr made a comment on Twitter Tuesday morning referring to former Obama aide Valerie Jarrett as looking like the offspring of the Muslim Brotherhood & Planet of the Apes. Jarrett, an African-American, was born in Iran to American parents.

Never cared for her show then nor now, but I think firing her for THAT was bullshit, all things considered. I mean, she's done worse stuff, (like posing as Hitler and stuff), but even then it was purely just for comedic relief.

Go ahead and tag/ignore me. I honestly don't give a shit.

I disagree entirely.

She is a showrunner of a show ABC was rebooting and if they chose to keep the show running that would reflect badly on ABC as a whole.

ABC made the right move here, I don't know how anyone can think otherwise.

I never "defended" her. I even posted how she should know better when she's employed by ABC. In all honesty, I don't think it was *THAT* bad, however (from what I can tell) .

I mean, she apologized, too. I, did, enjoy her Twitter, though. I'm at work, so I really haven't had a chance to dissect everything she tweeted with a fine tooth comb.

How come Bill Maher gets time to form an apology and come back on the air? Where's Roseanne's window???

You guys aren't even outraged. This is fake outrage. You just want an excuse to laugh at her because, deep down, you were upset there was a mainstream television show that normalized the idea of a good, loving, Republican. This didn't fit your mold of the old, tired "bigoted, racist Trump supporter" and you didn't know how to handle it.

This is selective fake outrage. You're happy because you're getting your revenge because, deep down, you hated the idea of a loving Republican character in a TV show.

If she had been a Democrat, and said the N word on Twitter, she'd be given a second chance for sure.

If that were the case I would have liked the same result as roseanne regardless. Don't make an ass of yourself on twitter unless you want to deal with the consequences. Don't really care which side you fall on.

I would hope she made this comment without realizing the racist comparison. Kinda like those T-shirts from that website we were all surprised about a few months ago.

That's what I would think. I mean, she'd have to be pretty gutsy to be openly racist on purpose over Twitter.

I am no fan of the far left but perhaps Roseanne will learn something from this and think about what she tweets before making a fool of herself in the future now that she has suffered consequences for her foolishness.

Then she should think about her words more carefully. I don't really like the far left at all, but I agree that the show should have been cancelled.


And you're exactly right. That is on her. I'd be willing to give her a second chance is all. That's up to ABC's discretion, and I really can't fault them for their decision. It's their money.

Are you really putting forth the argument that an American comedian in her 60's was unaware of the racial implications of referring to a black person as an ape? Is that how little you respect your own intellect that you're willing to believe that excuse?
