so they cancelled Roseanne because of racist tweets. liked the show now all those people are out of work. she is a comedian so I think she stepped over the line without thinking. liked the original show better.

If you intimate that black people are apes, and the company that carries your show is run by a black woman, you  might have expected some problems. 

Sometimes it pays to keep your mouth shut.

I liked the show. That being said, it's a shame but the tweet was pretty vicious.  Valerie Jarrett isn't black.She's born in Iran. Her and Roseanne have a terrible history.

The thing the gripes me the most is ABC was so quick to cancel her show yet other shows are left on the air to trash people on the right (conservatives or Republicans), saying they need to "investigate." Look at Jimmy Kimmel and SNL. Do they get canceled? Nope and their shows can be vicious.

It IS a double standard. I see it more and more every day. Won't be watching ABC anymore. I only watched her show so they've lost out again. (I don't watch late night idiots, DWTS, The Bachelor or Bachelorette, or whatever other shows.  They are not worth the time   They used to have great shows but not anymore. Bye once again, ABC! .

george soros is a snake, but roseanne can't ever let her opinions stay inside.

The pairing of the Muslim Brotherhood with the Planet of the Apes is pretty obvious racism.

Didn’t like the show when it originally aired so haven’t watched the return. Guess I won’t have the chance now.
