Maybe a news flash for you, but... some races have had a slightly different experience than others.

Tell me about it, I am not white and I been stereotyped most of my life... I laugh it off,  I deal with it... sad what America has become (will this post be removed too?)

Black people insult each other all the time it's not a 'white' thing bro.

She should stop forcing on that Gin Tonic, as it is diluting her brain and common sense.

And there is the bottom line for me.

 

How much different/better would your life experience have been if for your whole life you were judged only on your character/actions and not pre-judged based on appearance.

Black people would not refer to themselves in the third person, then snidely correct themselves while jovially dissing each other, BRO.

If you do not understand that in 2018 you can not refer to a black person as a mixture of ISIS and an Ape, then you are so stupid that you should be forced to wear a helmet 24/7 for your own protection.

 

This isn't difficult...

as a non PC person i don't understand you can not refer to a black person as a mixture of ISIS and an Ape,

im a Heinz57 and would find humour in being referred to as  a mixture of ISIS and an Ape, I'm also told i am a handsome man as i cruise the coconut bar.
some people are just hard to please i guess.

 

Referring to a racial group as apes or monkeys is racists.   It is the same type of remark as calling Thais monkeys.

I don't like her and would not watch her if you paid me. However liberals are hypocrites look at the attacks from them. Look at the WH dinner and that nasty attack on the press secretary all the liberals were having a climax. PC is what's wrong with the USA these days someone says something they don't like and they run into a corner seeking therapy for hurt feelings.

What are you talking about?

The WH- dinner is meant to be a roast!

You do understand the difference between a roast and a private opinion, voiced on a twitter -account, do you?!

And please point out ANY remark by ANY comedian at the WH- dinner, that  was as vile and tasteless as this idoits tweet?

This is what is wrong with you right- wingers: you think that freedom of speech means, you can say anything and there are no consequences!

Roseanne has executed her freedom of speech and ABC has executed its right to take her show of the air!

Simple, really!

I've got an idea.

Roseanne Barr for president of the United States of Amerika.

Republican party nominee 2024.

Sounds crazy?

What, because the incumbent racist bigot isn’t working out so well?

I don't have any idea if what she said was racist, because I have no idea about who she was talking about. However, thank you for taking her show of the air. I saw the first two minutes and wanted to puke.

 

It is amazing that the formerly 'very left wing' Rosanne is now playing a racist and right winger. Something fishy about the whole thing, like it's a role for the masses to eat up because the real racists are so hard to find.

They're not hard to find. They're the base supporters of the man-child.

People say far worse things about other people on the media all the time. Seems to me that they just found the reason to shut down a show that right wingers enjoy.

I've been called "ling" many times because I have a hairy chest.

Some people obviously live to look for insults where none exist.

Once again this is a failure to understand the difference between affectionate caricaturization and racial stereotyping.

I challenge you to find a single example of such racism on the media that has not generated a similar reaction. Even rightwingers have condemned Roseanne and applauded ABC's decisive action.

Calling YOU a name and equating an animal to your race are quite different.

Are you being purposefully obtuse?

 

If you cannot tell the difference between someone calling you a monkey because you are hairy and referring to an entire race, or individuals within that race, as monkeys you really shouldn't join the convo.

So you can call a black man an ape, as long as you don't mean all black people?

Are you a black man, who's "race" or ancestors have been stripped of their humanity and was bought and sold like furniture AND have been called apes and monkeys?

Then maybe...just maybe...you have no idea, what you are talking about!

No.

 

Roseanne Bar made overtly racist comments.

 

ABC fired her for making overtly racist comments.

 

But you now want to portray the rightwing audience as the victims.

Of course Trump wades into this, like all the bigots defending RB’s racism, they just can’t miss out on defending racism and bigotry.

Although Trump didnt not defend  RB .

That is the reality , although you are quite welcome to change the facts around to suit your anti-Trump agenda

I liked the old show and I liked the new show.

I found Roseanne's political change truly bizarre but I could look past that and enjoy the show just as entertainment.

I'm now wondering if there might be a serious medical condition behind what she's doing now. A brain scan is in order.

There is talk now of doing the show with the same cast but Roseanne gone. Why not? Just kill her off in the script. She did an evil thing to her cast members and staff. Why make them suffer especially if there is still an audience for the show without her, and I think there probably is? 

Or they could get really funny and just replace Roseanne in an inspired way. Perhaps Rosie O'Donnell just to get "trump's" goat?

I don’t think brain scans detect personality disorders.
