Re: Roseanne Show Cancelled
I think Roseanne is a repugnant person and her Twitter comment was clearly racist and bigoted. And I didn't watch the show much in either its earlier run or in its reboot. With that said, the quick cancellation of the show is going to put an interesting spotlight on every show that, in the future, has a star say something less than acceptable either in person or on Twitter. Who gets cancelled and who doesn't, and which comments lead to cancellation and which ones don't.

GF, it depends on whether they're talking about a Donk or a Conk. If they're saying something "less than acceptable" about a Conk....game on.

Re: Roseanne Show Cancelled
So why is an apology good enough for Joy Ann Reid but not Roseanne?
Oh wait, I know the answer to that.

Now it's hyper-sensitive for a company to train its employees not to single out black people?BDKJMU wrote:Meanwhile, Starbucks is closing its stores today nationwide for racial sensitivity training..we live in a hyper PC world..
And calling Valerie Jarrett the offspring of an ape and the Muslim Brotherhood is just being a complete asshat. It's pretty amazing how other (most?) people can get through life without being called a racist, sexist, homophobe, etc.; apparently if you have manners and try not to be a dick to people, it's "PC."
Re: Roseanne Show Cancelled
I'm going to guess with near certainty that Starbucks refused bathrooms to non paying members of other ethnic groups to include whites, only this one filmed instance made the editorial cut and fit into the media's overall narrative.∞∞∞ wrote:Now it's hyper-sensitive for a company to train its employees not to single out black people?BDKJMU wrote:Meanwhile, Starbucks is closing its stores today nationwide for racial sensitivity training..we live in a hyper PC world..

Maybe Fox will pick up the show.

Except here a non-paying white guy got the code and the black people didn't. And when they explained they're waiting for a friend (who showed up), they were asked to leave and the police called.ASUG8 wrote:I'm going to guess with near certainty that Starbucks refused bathrooms to non paying members of other ethnic groups to include whites, only this one filmed instance made the editorial cut and fit into the media's overall narrative.∞∞∞ wrote: Now it's hyper-sensitive for a company to train its employees not to single out black people?

She's a potty-mouthed bomb-thrower on social media. My problem here is that when she makes this remark about an Iranian woman with Jewish ancestry then all of the sudden that crosses the line.∞∞∞ wrote:Now it's hyper-sensitive for a company to train its employees not to single out black people?BDKJMU wrote:Meanwhile, Starbucks is closing its stores today nationwide for racial sensitivity training..we live in a hyper PC world..

I had her in the annoying piece of shit category long before this episode. She's just strengthening that belief.

Not sure what is exactly being discussed, but it should not single out anyone.∞∞∞ wrote: Now it's hyper-sensitive for a company to train its employees not to single out black people?

Re: Roseanne Show Cancelled
I realize that Republicans are starved for sympathetic show biz types and friendly TV shows
but Roseanne was an all around bad person to embrace
I read in an article somewhere this morning that described signing on with Trumpism or Roseanne as joining the Hells Angels because you like riding motorcycles

Watching Dan Rather comment on the situation.
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?

Every single person who voted for Trump has been called all those things. Simply because they voted for Trump and not the bitch.
Hell, I’ve been called those things by my own family members and I didn’t even vote for the guy. But because I did NOT vote for the bitch, that makes me all those things in libtards’ eyes.

Roseanne Barr is a pig! I didn't watch her original show nor did I watch the reboot for just that reason. Whether she was pro or anti Trump was never a consideration.
