She was wrong and no it was not blown out of proportion, it is about time that someone put their foot down and does the right thing. By her or anybody else being able to just say sorry with no consequences normalizes it. Someone should also wash the big orange marmalades mouth out with soap too.

Well, Mel Gibson's 2006 drunken tirade against Jews got him blacklisted from the movie business for almost a decade, why not Roseanne?

Gibson has since been allowed back in somewhat but in 2010 he made more racist comments, this time about "niggers." Since there wasn't a lot of press about it, perhaps he just doesn't matter as much to the public now.

I never pay any attention to her so I don't know what she said, but racism is always wrong. I sure got a laugh out of a newspaper headline though, saying the manufacturers of Ambien claim that racism is not a side effect of their drug!
