Twitter makes racists remarks, not people.

Damn Autocorrect.

I think Roseanne is a repugnant person and her Twitter comment was clearly racist and bigoted. And I didn't watch the show much in either its earlier run or in its reboot. With that said, the quick cancellation of the show is going to put an interesting spotlight on every show that, in the future, has a star say something less than acceptable either in person or on Twitter. Who gets cancelled and who doesn't, and which comments lead to cancellation and which ones don't.

GF, it depends on whether they're talking about a Donk or a Conk. If they're saying something "less than acceptable" about a Conk....game on.

Correction - anything negative from a conservative will be in the spotlight.

So why is an apology good enough for Joy Ann Reid but not Roseanne?

Oh wait, I know the answer to that.

Now it's hyper-sensitive for a company to train its employees not to single out black people?

And calling Valerie Jarrett the offspring of an ape and the Muslim Brotherhood is just being a complete asshat. It's pretty amazing how other (most?) people can get through life without being called a racist, sexist, homophobe, etc.; apparently if you have manners and try not to be a dick to people, it's "PC."

I'm going to guess with near certainty that Starbucks refused bathrooms to non paying members of other ethnic groups to include whites, only this one filmed instance made the editorial cut and fit into the media's overall narrative.

Maybe Fox will pick up the show.

Except here a non-paying white guy got the code and the black people didn't. And when they explained they're waiting for a friend (who showed up), they were asked to leave and the police called.

She's a potty-mouthed bomb-thrower on social media. My problem here is that when she makes this remark about an Iranian woman with Jewish ancestry then all of the sudden that crosses the line.

The Colin Kaepernick of Hollywood

I had her in the annoying piece of shit category long before this episode. She's just strengthening that belief.

Not sure what is exactly being discussed, but it should not single out anyone.

Agree.

Roseanne has (had) a show?

Stop it...you’re just confusing them further!

I realize that Republicans are starved for sympathetic show biz types and friendly TV shows

but Roseanne was an all around bad person to embrace

I read in an article somewhere this morning that described signing on with Trumpism or Roseanne as joining the Hells Angels because you like riding motorcycles

Watching Dan Rather comment on the situation.

Libs are just pissed she made fun of our last President.

Wrong. Again.

Every single person who voted for Trump has been called all those things. Simply because they voted for Trump and not the bitch.

Hell, I’ve been called those things by my own family members and I didn’t even vote for the guy. But because I did NOT vote for the bitch, that makes me all those things in libtards’ eyes.

Roseanne Barr is a pig! I didn't watch her original show nor did I watch the reboot for just that reason. Whether she was pro or anti Trump was never a consideration.

She is indeed a pig. Roseanne lost me with that disastrous National Anthem. She gave white trash a bad name.
