ABC cancels 'Roseanne' after star's racist Twitter rant

Is that what I said? Read my post again. Ask your mommy to help if you can't sound out the big words.

Do you always answer a question with a question? Why don't you just grow a pair and answer the question instead of deflect...Deflect...Deflect.

BTW, my mother passed away ten years ago.

Is that the standard to prove someone meant racism,Yurt? I think it is hilarious how everyone ignores the Muslim part of the insult.

Intent, Yurt?

A reasonable person should have known that comparing a Black person to a primate would be likely to be considered racist.
 
Racist Tweet Fiasco Costs Roseanne Barr More Than Just A Reboot
The hits keep coming for the “Roseanne” star.

ABC’s cancellation of “Roseanne” isn’t the only blowback its star is facing after she unleashed a series of racist and offensive tweets.

Roseanne Barr, the show’s titular character, was fired from her talent agency on Tuesday shortly after ABC announced it was canning the successful sitcom reboot.

“We are all greatly distressed by the disgraceful and unacceptable tweet from Roseanne Barr this morning,” a statement from her agency, ICM Partners, read. “What she wrote is antithetical to our core values, both as individuals and as an agency. Consequently, we have notified her that we will not represent her. Effective immediately, Roseanne Barr is no longer a client.”

The media company Viacom is also reportedly pulling reruns of “Roseanne,” which first premiered in 1988. A person with knowledge of the decision told The Wrap on Tuesday that the company is pulling all episodes out of rotation from its Paramount Network, TV Land and CMT channels.

The streaming service Hulu also announced it was pulling the show from its platform.

“We support ABC’s decision and are removing the show from Hulu,” a company spokesperson said.

She's radioactive now. Nobody will touch her now (except Trump of course).
She'll be homeless in five years. BWWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
 
So you say.

Having spawned a son like you could've shortened the poor womans' life by decades. Of course if she'd had any decency, she would have aborted you.

She lived a rich, fulfilling life surrounded by the love of her husband, her four children and eleven beautiful grandchildren.

Unlike your teenage single mom who got knocked up by DeAngeladarius Jackson on the kitchen floor while she was fucked up on meth.

Don't bother responding. You're officially on my IGNORE list. Congrats. ����������

This Jackson wouldn't happen to be black, would he?
 
Intent, Yaya?

So making a racist comment is merely a negligent standard? No mens rea?

Just because someone else says racist, doesn't always mean it is, right? With intent, wouldn't that clear things up?

Would you say, based upon the evidence, that Roseanne is more likely racist than not racist (civil court standard)?

I don't think she is. She said Muslim and planet of the Apes. So technically she didn't refer to her as an ape. The child would be half human.

I don't believe she meant it in the racist way. She just stupidly spouted off and the snowflakes flipped out.

Even half human would be racist.
