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?

I can't imagine what Roseanne was smoking, but I am saddened by the whole thing. The Roseanne Conner as a Trump supporter premise could have been enlightening and healing--maybe even more than ALL IN THE FAMILY's Nixon supporting Archie Bunker.

@Countrycuz666 Him and Bush Sr we the last republican presidents that were not knob heads. Why do you pick such idiots? Reagan was not the sharpest of tools in the box even before he went senile. Bush Jr had burnt half his brain cells decades before on booze and coke. Are there no decent candidates in the GOP? You only have to say the word "Trump" anywhere around the world now to get a laugh. Who are you going to pick next, Kim Kardasian?

@Countrycuz666 We have a similar type of guy but from the left, Cobyn who nearly got in. He commands the same kind of fervor from his supporters. Not sure that Trump would have beaten a better candidate.
As for comments, seeing as 80% of yanks don't own a passport and would be hard pressed to name more than 2 world leaders, that is no biggie. Also Trump is never off the news. I can't look at my FB feed without at least 2 stories regarding investigations or mad tweets.
I don't own an umbrella but the weather here never takes out houses. Good luck in denying climate change.

@Countrycuz666 It is a common mistake to confuse climate with weather. Each year we are getting record breaking extreme weather events. A strong indication of climate change. Rather like an athlete suddenly getting really fast really quickly would be an indication of performance enhancing drugs. The US is getting more and bigger hurricanes every year but you can put your fingers and say la la la till your house blows down.

@Countrycuz666 Car jacking is not that popular in the UK. We don't let any idiot own a gun so illegal ones are expensive and quite hard to get. Though I live in an inner-city area and there are the occasional shootings. It is far less dangerous than say being a school child in the US. Besides that, not being in need of a penis extension. So I doubt if anyone would bother to jack my car.

I would think that there is a more creative way to deal with this than cancelling the show. Why not just kill off the character? Maybe getting seriously ill and not being able to afford the surgery or medications? Or, kill her off in a shooting and offer "thoughts and prayers" for the character's demise? But, maybe ABC was just looking for a reason to cancel the show anyway and Roseanne's big mouth gave them a good excuse. She could always just blame it on one of her multiple personalities.

it think there was a show that ran 8 seasons about a guy with a serious illness that could not afford the medical care

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..

Darn it

A Freudian slip of the tongue perhaps

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.

Yup, it was nowhere near as bad as some of my rants. Roseanne, you gotta do better than that.
