Just going on with out Roseanne or "replacing" her simply wont work. ABC will void the pro Trump/anti liberal routine like the plague now. They will try to spin it off as a "common family" but the millions and millions of conservatives who wanted to see something that wasnt filled with liberal biased arent going to tune in again. Realistically I think we all know ABC couldnt wait to find a reason to cancel this show. As soon as they got huge ratings for being anti liberal it was only a matter of time for Disney to pull the trigger. Im not saying the reason wasnt just but I think we're smart enough here to know how ABC/Disney works. Yeah I'm sure the suits at ABC were praying for the star of one of their biggest hit shows to publicly call a black woman a monkey after picking up said show for another season Stop with the ing victim routine already. I think she said a dumb thing. I also think there's a possibility of self sabotage. She wasnt getting along with the writers (whitney Cummings quit about a month ago) and ABC said they wanted the political tone turned down next season. She said the show was exhausting her. And she is already beyond wealthy. She is the leading producer of (I believe macadamia nuts) So I do believe there's a possibility that she wanted out. I feel bad for the 200 people that lost their jobs though. Especially Sarah Gilbert.

time for ABC to revive Norm and Drew Carey Show At this point Artie Lange would get himself fired quicker than Roseanne did. If he lives to finish the pilot

This world right now is so pussiffied, its got its balls cut. She dressed up as Hitler and had a tray full of gingerbread man not to long ago. That’s what comics do. Lisa Lampanelli, Ron white etc,... plethora of comics do this. People need to take this stuff and learn to brush it off. There far more things to be concerned about like rapists, cho-mos, and murders.

It was fun while it lasted and it was good seeing everyone back. But as much as I enjoyed it, I don't fault Disney for what they did. And I know comedians insult people, but somethings should not be said.

A huge part of me is really upset that the show is over. Roseanne has been my favorite sitcom forever and like many other fans, felt like the Conner's were part of my family. I loved this new season and was excited for more. I feel bad for Roseanne having to deal with this backlash and I feel bad for the reported 200+ individuals who lost their job. I can understand why ABC did what they did. However, I stand by Roseanne. In the words of Joan Rivers, "It's COMEDY." This is a women who had been at the forefront of progressiveness before it turned into the hypocrisy that it is today. Yes, the tweet was stupid. No, she isn't racist.

And get dressing up like Hitler really only further proves that she is racist... Only seeing what you wanna see, eh? You and another member here have a lot in common. That's literally exactly what he said.

Every other sketch or show that has a predominantly black cast makes fun of white ppl. Is that racist? Chappelles show was great at this and his writing partner is a big ol honky. She's a comedian and has always had that edge. But its 2018 and Every thing anyone does is under waaaay more scrutiny than in 1993 for example. Hell nowadays if you're an anti trumper you'll get your very own show!

Murders, cho-mos, rapists. People who commit crimes, that what others should be concerned about. Roseanne committed no crime, it’s part of her act.

Is it being overblwon? Most likely. But it's not like she said it during a show or stand-up routine. Or even in a joking manner. She was replying to political commentary and she has a history or anti muslim rhetoric and for comparing black people to apes. Let's not pretend she is a victim in some kind of misunderstood comedy act. She has always been a trash can human being. Even back when conservatives hated her for her lifestyle in the 90's and for her national anthem "joke."

It's just being racist. Actions, and words, have consequences. And we can worry about racist people, murders, rapists and child molesters at the same time. This isn't an all or nothing proposition.

and for her national anthem "joke." All humor is subjective but that is definitely blasphemous especially since it happened in my hometown lol!

She didn't call a black women a monkey. She said a very light skin woman who she assumed was not black looked like a character from planet of the apes. Maybe if the meme she retweeted compared her to Caesar from the more recent planet of the apes movie I could more clearly understand how this comment is being seen as racist.
