She made a tasteless joke but that's kinda what she's known for isn't it?

It wasn't really a joke, seeing as right wing people aren't funny.

This, but thankfully the show is getting rebooted without her. But I can only assume the ratings will tank because of boycotting from the right.

I suppose. The person who was unfairly kicked off their show was really Chris Hardwick. That was fucking unjustified.

She would have said some racist shit sooner or later. Even if she shut her twitter down someone on set would have leaked some racist shit.

I'd say it wasn't, but then you have to remember she did actually say way worse stuff before that so it was more like finally getting her comeuppance.

I still don't see how making a blatantly racist comment devoid of any humor is a joke. It was just a racist remark because she's nuts.

So that makes it OK for her to say that?

the more you keep pushing and pushing and pushing, the less and less people's patience will become with you. the weight of the straw that broke the camel's back is a lot less important than the cumulative weight of all of them before it

Saying someone looks like the lady from Planet of the Apes is only really offensive if you refer to a black person

And be honest, that lady doesn't look black just by looking at her

^ Come on now, she looks hispanic more than anything

The people who bitched about Roseanne are clueless. Roseanne has tackled race relations in the past and it wasn't a problem. There was the one episode where DJ was reluctant to kiss a black girl in his school play (and that girl ended up being his wife in the new series). It was a good episode about DJ, Dan and Roseanne confronting their own prejudiced feelings. This is another case of SJWs desperately looking for something to bitch about.

She should have not even gotten the show. I don't get why being a horrible person is okay as long as you keep it a secret.

It was unprofessional. Im sure if I made a similar comment at work Id get in big trouble as well. As with her, she is the face of her show. It was a dumb mistake, but clearly understandable as to why the network had to let her go.

Its not so much that weve become soft and overly sensitive, but any racial remarks no matter how light just arent a good look for business.

Did people forget about her Susan Rice comment too? Honestly I think she's just losing it mentally.

Anyway, it was justified. Such a shame because I liked her, I liked the show and this new season too.

I really don't want there to be new show but if there is. A spin-off called Darlene would probably be okay. Just set it in a place as far away from the Connor household as possible. It could work <_<
