Roseanne canceled by ABC for Roseanne's "abhorrent, repugnant" tweets

I would've thought that by 2018 the advice of "Don't call black people apes" would've been pretty universally understood. Guess I was wrong.
Also am I the only one wondering what the fuck she must have been looking at that morning to be thinking about Valerie Jarett period? Of all the various Obama personnel to get set off by, I can't even fathom why it was her who made her self-destruct.
I kind of take this as a sign that even if the GOP is winning the political war right now they're desperately losing the cultural war.
You're not gettin' your colonies back that easily, mister.
I'm on to you...
Honestly the tweet reads like she's off her meds or something. How could she think tweeting such inane racist shit was acceptable, consequence-free, and professional? It's the kind of shit you'd have to be schizophrenic to write. Not saying she is, she could just be an asshole, but it boggles the mind how a sober, sane person could write that.
See the beauty is she'll never work in television again, because not only did she get fired, she took down the whole crew. She lost jobs for everyone. Nobody will want to work with someone who's lost lots of people their jobs in one fell swoop.
Ironiclly she posted on twitter that she was "Ambien-posting".
So more like she was on her meds...
Isn't Ambien a sleep aid?
So she was sleepy?
Like, I sometimes say some goofy shit when I'm sleepy but I've never said racist shit on Twitter.
I've seen my friend's dad do some nutty shit sleep walking on Ambien, so maybe racist twitter posts aren't far off. vv

Baby in Chief
It's like he's actually fucking retarded.
Get on that Bob Iger!
When your Ambien kicks in, you're basically drunk/high, you are highly impaired.

This chick is so drugged on Ambien she's basically stoned and doesn't know what she's doing.
If Rosanne actually was fucked up on Ambien when she got on Twitter and shitposted, it doesn't at all excuse her from the consequences but it at least goes some way to explaining why she went full retard at an odd hour for seemingly no reason.
Sheesh, if he thinks THAT'S horrible I wonder if I should make that bust of him after all...
I take a pretty high powered muscle relaxer every night called Zanaflex that makes me really sleepy and feel high as shit often times and I don't always remember everything, but I do know I've never popped one and put on my Klan robes and gone marching. That kinda has to be in there to begin with before a medication will bring it out.
I don't really expect anything less from someone who believes Pizzagate conspiracies and other nonsense. What a shame for all the people like Sarah Gilbert who worked to get this all together and are now out of a job as thanks for their efforts.
...What are you doing with Klan robes?
Well, yeah. A lot of people with racist thoughts keep them locked away, especially older people. They aren't going to change, but they will bury it deep down to be more socially acceptable.
My girlfriend is into some weird shit ok this is a joke in case she sees this don't hit me
I think that makes it worse though is what I meant. Since the original series dealt with a fair bit of that, and especially this new one was about her character learning to tolerate things unfamiliar and new. Basically broadcasting a message of acceptance and piercing the veil of ignorance so that hiding hatred isn't necessary when you can replace it with something better. Lessons the real life person apparently couldn't give half a shit about.
According to Roseanne she didn't think Valarie Jarrett was black

I just google image searched Valarie Jarett and frankly I believe Roseanne because upon seeing the results I actually had to look up whether she was black

It seems to depend on the lighting whether or not she "looks black".
Does this mean that Disney is now canonically the deep state?

Look who is still butthurt and expects an apology.
This is classic narcissistic behaviour; he expects that he gets a share anytime anyone gets something. If someone gets something nice, he's entitled to his own win, somehow. In this case, he wants an apology since an Obama aide got one, and if he doesn't then it's not faaaaaaaaair and, uh, I guess he'll try and block the Disney-Fox deal to retaliate. In fact, I'm calling it -- if Bob Iger ignores Trump for like a week, expect the government to try and stick its dick in the deal.
Trump supporters want Bill Maher fired since he compared Trump to an orangutan

When the only thing that can stop the Disney empire is Trump's need for attention and apologies
I don't know anyone who cares about bill maher. The democratic party has moved to the left of him and he hasn't kept up.
Trump supporters continuing the tradition of showing people what a real triggered snowflake looks like.
Trump supporters also once again showing that they cannot tell the difference between "mean jokes" and blatant racism.
It's funny that people who are upset with this and give this excuse are the ones who got upset about the NFL restricting protesting during the game. They said business have no rights to fire you about what you do at or outside of work, yet support Roseanne being fired. It's unprofessional to make political statements and protest at work as well as make racist comments on Twitter. These people were free speech advocates for Kaepernick but when the tables turn they laugh at them.
If you're for free speech then it's all in not what you just want to hear or think is good.
The hypocrisy is disgusting.
Honestly, I'll believe it. I've had a friend wake up after taking ambien, who promptly begin arguing with me that vehicles of certain colors should be illegal.
This post screams of "why cant i call black people niggers too?". There's a difference between free speech and hate speech. Person protesting the state of the union is one thing, someone calling a black person a monkey and a jewish person a literal nazi is another.
Why are you putting words in my mouth? I don’t support racism. I’m simply stating the fact that it’s insanely hypocritical to say you’re for free speech for one person and not another. That’s not free speech. It doesn’t matter how offensive it is, it should be protected if you believe in it. I am a hard believer in free speech but I support business reserving the right to fire you for it. I’m for the firing of Roseanne. I’m also supportive of the NFL placing restrictions on the players. Kneeling was offensive to some and that’s why they were upset, not because they are racists. Kneeling because you don’t like the president is unprofessional. He has the right to protest but not if the employer permits it. I’m simply saying play fair regardless of the stuff being said.
