LINK 'Roseanne' canceled after star's racist Twitter rant
I consider myself a fair person, and I admit that I watched and loved Roseanne when it was on 20 years ago. Even though Ms. Barr lost her damn mind over the years I watched the reboot and actually was able to separate the troll from the show...but this morning I was done. Now I see that ABC stepped up and did the right thing before I could boycott the show...bravo! One time money didn’t get in the way of what’s right. Hear that, NFL?

But her rendering of The Star-Spangled Banner was mint.

I will never understand how social conservatives could overlook her screeching, spitting, vagina-grabbing mockery of the national anthem, but get so upset at Colin Kaepernick kneeling that lifelong NFL fans burned their (quite expensive) season tickets and fan gear. What could possibly be the difference between Roseanne Barr and Colin Kaepernick?
(Read that last question with a sarcastic tone of voice, by the way; the answer is rather obvious.)
@ErikGunderson Nothing conservatives do ever surprises me now. They are the masters of logical disconnects.
And what was Kaepernick doing, @Torgo?
A couple of friends and I share some sick humor. We have created jokes that we would NEVER share with the general public.
These jokes are of the type of making fun of those who would actually think such is funny. So, we are laughing at the imbecilia of that type of thinking.
But I know others would not understand our history, our real emotions, our intentions.
That she thinks that way is sad enough, But that she said it aloud is what is most disturbing. Especially after decades of life that should have included some education, and some understanding that some shit should not be written nor spoken for the WHOLE world's notice..

Personally I think Roseanne is mentally ill. Nothing new, I have heard her speak of her childhood, screwed up and she never had therapy. Has gotten worse over the years. ...conspiracy theories...delusions.

Lots of people have mental illness and aren't racists. Lots of people are racist and don't have a mental illness. I don't think the two are any more related than whether or not people with mental illness like brussel sprouts
@MsDemeanour But she IS mentally fucked up!!
I'm not angry with Roseanne, she's just a piece of intellect gone astray. My gripe is with the television station trying to make America great again by bringing back an old show. "Let sleeping dogs lie", yes? Trump has done nothing but bring the hidden truth in this country to the forefront like a social media post. "Here's America's true face so let me share it with you" and he screws with the protocol that many of us have followed for many years yet never really questioned.I've learned that the solutions are in the questioning and if we don't ask then we'll never know so instead of pointing fingers and wasting energy putting people down, I ask "why" and seek a rational compromise instead of joining a faction of hate that hates on another faction of hate.

I can’t blame the ABC for want to present a successful show, that will bring in MONEY !!
And I applaud them for presenting a show with a controversial viewpoint - TheRump did win a POTUS election after all!
But I am also glad they drew the line...

Vengeance does the mind good of the person offended, morally right or not...
If I watched my parents being murdered, or was emotionally unaffected by the knowledge of the event, I think I’d be a pretty diminished human being.
If such a terrible event took place in your life, and you didn’t carry that with you until the day you died, I think you’d be lying to yourself, or pathetically distant from your parents emotionally...
There’s an appropriate time for being emotionally unhinged as well - when your parents are in the process of being murdered, is a good time for that imho.
I was a practicing Buddhist for 30 years...
I don't watch sitcoms...it did not disturb me because people say dumb things at times...Yes we live in a new era where some things will not be tolerated if it affects the dollars they collect. Jarrett belongs to a powerful clique...I'm not surprised of the outcome.
