Orochi_ posted... What did she do or say? https://variety.com/video/roseanne-canceled-racist-tweets/ ABC canceled Roseanne Tuesday morning after the shows lead, Roseanne Barr, let off a series of racist tweets the night prior. The tweets included a comment referring to former Obama aide Valerie Jarrett as the offspring of the Muslim Brotherhood & Planet of the Apes. Barr apologized to Jarrett on Twitter Tuesday morning and announced she would be leaving the social media platform. However, shortly after the apology, Roseanne consulting producer Wanda Sykes tweeted she would not be returning to the show and ABC president Channing Dungey announced in a statement a condemnation of Barrs tweets as well as news of the networks decision to cancel the show. The show had previously been renewed for another season, and that revival finished its first season as the number one scripted primetime television show in the 18-49 age range. wanderingshade posted...

Zikten posted... Apparently Rosanne was never needed for her own show. Kinda funny Honestly I never liked the Roseanne character that much. Among the adults I preferred Goodman's character and Jackie. But the original show was written as more of an ensemble kind of thing when it came down to it. Its best stories rarely hinged on Roseanne as hard as other sitcoms did with the "main" parent, so I'm not surprised they were able to make it work. --- Lusa Cfaad Taydr ... Copied to Clipboard!

MICHALECOLE posted... Oh, I'm fully aware that I might be taking the L on this, but Valerie Jarret is the most light-skinned black woman I've ever seen. I can fully believe that Roseanne thought she was making a joke about a white woman. Admittedly, I had either forgotten or never knew the Muslim Brotherhood part of the tweet which does reframe it pretty hard <_< --- http://i.imgur.com/Er6TT.gif http://i.imgur.com/Er6TT.gif http://i.imgur.com/Er6TT.gif So?

Both said and did a lot of "shock value" stuff that lead to their popularity. The public in the past had a large hand in encouraging her. If she had dressed up as Hitler at the height of her show's popularity in the 90s, some people would have been outraged but sadly she would have been forgiven. Even Whoopie Goldberg and Ted Dansen was doing extreme shit that caused outrage but was eventually forgotten. --- "But who prays for Satan?

TomClark posted... I honestly don't know how you could take what she said as anything other than catastrophically racist.I'll be honest, I missed the Muslim Brotherhood bit which does seem to make it pretty unequivocally racist. But as I said, the woman she was talking about looks very much like a white woman. Call it a double standard if you like, but comparing someone to a monkey is only racist if it's against black people. No one has any issue if you're doing it to a white person (see the Bush jokes). So if she thought the woman was white (which she did later claim), there wouldn't be any racist reasoning behind her insult. --- http://i.imgur.com/Er6TT.gif http://i.imgur.com/Er6TT.gif http://i.imgur.com/Er6TT.gif So?
