I couldn't wait to see how the racist right wing nut jobs would spin this one. And here we go.

Is that the best you got, HM? Did you forget that Planet of the Apes was a fictional movie? What point are you trying to make anyway?

Who is saying they care? I am finding it ironic that Liberals don't care when actors lose their jobs. It's the same irony they wallow in when these military hating leftist morons wrap themselves in the flag to defend "heroes" like McCain simply because he doesn't like Trump.

It's like children playing the opposite game.

Roseanne has been quite vocal in her support for Trump.

Meanwhile, everyone in the cast has also lost their jobs because she is such a crude lowlife.
 
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 waited several hours to apologize. Honestly if she had clarified immediately afterward that the comment was only in respect to Valerie's individual looks, she probably would've gotten off. But she was like, "Islam is not a race!" A stupid comment because Valerie is not even Muslim (she was born in Iran to a charity doctor in a time when Iran was our ally, that doesn't make her a Muslim), and shows she apparently didn't even care about the obvious problems with the comparison of an african american to an ape.

took her that long to sober up. I'm not defending her at all -
my complaint in general is only the fact there are no 2nd chances on social media

overkill. 1 tweet should not destroy a lifetime of works.
Tweeting still isn't a crime like sexual assault

Get real. A 12 year-old could have seen what was coming from her unforgivable ignorance.

Her life SHOULD be destroyed.

Racist assholes should be destroyed forever.

I don't even understand why anyone gives a shit about a low level Obama official two years after his presidency ended? How much of a grudge these people hold for such a great presidency.

Past presidents should get the benefit of waiting for historical evaluation -
new presidents should get a honeymoon..hyperpartisanship destroys all perspectives

get the fuck out of here.
people say terrible regretful things - and when you say it on social media it's out there.

But she walked it back and apologized. You are advocating no forgiveness for a disgusting remark.
That's not a liberal value, it's not even humanistic.

we fuck up, we apologize, and we move on -we don't go back like the Cultural Revolution in China
and send you to relearning camps. at least not yet.

Even her reruns have all been dumped.. Part of this is blowback against Trump. The country is fed up with big mouth trash talkers.

listen to you.
you are espousing punishing one person for what you perceive as the sins of another.
That's worse then class warfare -that's collective punishment.

And you call Trump a hater??
Check your supply of mercy and forgiveness -your dipstick reads low on the compassion guage.

western values -hell even Buddhist values where karma is "unforgiving"- allow for compassion and redemption.
 
our culture has become a vicious, unforgiving, didactic ( patronizing) hatefest.

She needs sanctions, she does not need to be utterly destroyed
