Roseanne cancelled after racist tweet

[UNCjigga]

She compared Obama aide Valerie Jarrett to a cross between "the Muslim Brotherhood and Planet of the Apes". This was after insulting Chelsea Clinton, George Soros' family and Jews in 2 earlier tweets.

After her racist tweet about Jarrett, Wanda Sykes (an EP on 'Roseanne') left the show, and within hours ABC cancelled 'Roseanne'. Good riddance.

What? It's the age of Trump! Let's MAGA!

 

[vi edit]

Now if only we could cancel another TV show know as "Survivor: Whitehouse" for its CEO peddling similar conspiracy based hatred and ignorance on Twitter.

Good on ABC for showing some backbone on cancelling a high rated show over this. Words have consequences.

 

[BoomerD]

Good riddance indeed.

 

[umbrella39]

Bye bye you TrumpTard racist piece of shit pig fucker...

[MrSquished]

I mean who fucking knew?

 

[dainthomas]

She was just trying to MAGA. Why does ABC hate America?

/s

 

[jackstar7]

Wait... where's @UglyCasanova to decry that there is no racism?!

Or the real racism is ABC dropping the show?

His insights are, at best, confounding.

Side note -- get prepared for your next cabinet secretary: Rosanne Barr

 

[dawp]

she made a living out of being offensive before she had her show, just not being soo offensive she should have thought before opening he mouth.

So what's the over under on:

1) Is there a Trump tweet on this?
2) How fast will it come?
3) Will it condemn or support ABC?

I get the feeling that the same people who pitched a fit about Michelle Wolf's mocking of Sarah Huckabee Sanders for being a perpetual liar will either be silent about this or defend it.

It'll come tomorrow morning. He rarely rage tweets during the day (though this weekend may have set a new standard)
Can't wait to hear Fox spin this shit...

Something something Soros liberal hollywood media suppressing middle class voices and free speech.

Kudos to ABC for taking a principled stance and cancelling an otherwise highly rated show.

I haven't laughed this hard at Roseanne since I heard a disgruntled Tom Arnold arranged a cavity search for her at an Italian airport.

Couldn't happen to nicer gal. Good riddance indeed.

He has a rally tonight in TN. I’ll bet you can guess what will happen there.

 

[Homerboy]

Man oh man. Some comments on the news articles are just impossibly ignorant and.... fucking dumb. I'm out of "nice ways" to say it.

A lot of Trumptards here claim diversity in the workplace isn't important. Rosanne was fired by Channing Dungy, the new President of Entertainment at ABC, a black female.

My guess if that position were held by a white male the show would go on with only a reprimand. Trump hires almost only all white males and we see where that has gotten us.

That's fucking awesome. I would have enjoyed listening to that phone call.

 

[crashtech]

She's always been a whack job. Weirdly, I seem to remember that a long time ago she mainly pissed off conservatives. I guess she has graduated to pissing off everyone with her crazy sh*t.

 

[HomerJS]

MAGA folks gonna be pissed. You damn well know they love the new tone set by POTUS condoning overt racism and Islamophobia

 

[trenchfoot]

I fall on the side of folks who don't care for celebrities who use ugly behavior, divisive rhetoric and racism to pump up their ratings to put more cash in their pockets.

If FOX and the folks who like the kind of propaganda bullshit that FOX disseminates on a minute by minute basis feel so strongly about cancelling that show then FOX can stream it from their own servers to cater to those folks who like the kind of racist entertainment that Roseanne offers up and let FOX bear the burden for Roseanne's repugnant racist behavior.

edit: So I guess this is the kind of patriotism Trump is a fan of:
