Is Trump's Racism Rhetoric Reponsible for ABC To Cancel Rosanne's Show
I watched the reboot for all of about a minute and a half. It’s hard enough dealing with trumpkins at work and in social settings, I turn to entertainment to escape that noise.
Buh-bye Roseanne. Don’t feel the least bit bad when shitty people face consequences for shitty behavior. I’m happy your resurrection was short lived and hope your quick return to irrevelance lasts considerably longer
Edited to add: what’s the over/under on how long it takes her to find some airtime on FOX news, or our POTUS to tweet about it?
Barr apologized before ABC’s statement on Tuesday, saying that her statement suggesting that former Barack Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett is a product of the Muslim Brotherhood and the “Planet of the Apes” was a “joke” that was “in bad taste.
“I apologize to Valerie Jarrett and to all Americans. I am truly sorry for making a bad joke about her politics and her looks,” Barr said. “I should have known better. Forgive me-my joke was in bad taste.”
The bigger you are... the harder you fall. ABC said they ain't having it. She messed up
She's been making a living by ridiculing other people for YEARS! Saying you're sorry just isn't enough. She's like those sexual abusers..."Oh...did I offend you? I didn't mean to." Uh, huh. Too bad.
Actually, thinking about this reminds me of those Xtians who do horrible things and then, find ''forgiveness'' through their churches. This supposedly makes it all better again. SO SORRY someone was hurt but I've said I'm sorry, so you have to forgive me.
Thanks for posting this topic! Roseanne Barr is the female equivalent of the treasonous groper...she's coarse, unintelligent, whines and "exaggerates" to the point of sheer duplicity. So, I'm delighted that her show is gone because she just panders to the fans of you-know-who. (Can't bring myself to speak his name. He's VALDEMORT.) Anyway, I'm proud of the show's producers, who stand up for something important!
I have mixed feelings about this. I watched the show because I thought it was bringing up controversial topics: Rosanne's Support of Trumpism, possible transgendered grandson, single surrogate motherhood, prescription pill addiction, etc. However,when I heard about her comments onTwitter that were racist vs Valerie Jarrett,a former Obama staffer, I was toying with the idea of boycotting the show. ABC, and its parent company Disney Company made the decision for me. Donald Trump and his verbal rhetoric has enabled entertainers to bring us back in time with ugly racism. Ironically today is the day Starbucks has closed it's
corporate stores for racial inclusion/sensitivity training. MSNBC is hosting an important forum on racism in the US tonight at 8:00 PM. Very timely.
Alrighty...
