but yet our president can make all the remarks he wants and no one does anything about it

Well, she (or anyone) doesn't HAVE to like any particular person or group. A person doesn't HAVE to like black people or white people or Christians or Atheists or Muslims or LGBTQ or women or men or liberals or conservatives. But it's better for everyone if you keep that to yourself. Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences.

I stopped watching/reading the news and I quit all my social media accounts, because I'm so tired of everyone tearing everyone else down. The internet has really exposed how savage people can be.

Freedom of speech means just that.  You have the freedom of speech.  I can say whatever I want to say.  Saying if you do not like someone to keep it to yourself is denying freedom of speech.  I do not have to like you. I can voice that. Does not mean you have the right to get me fired from my job.  No, saying bad stuff about other people is not right but neither is a lot of other stuff going on in this world.

I have seen it happen personally where some whine bag got mad because someone said something negative about her business.  The comment made was completely true.  And it wasn't posted online or anything like that.  Just a simple comment made about something witnessed in her store.  SO she runs her mouth and ends up getting the person fired from her job.  Boils down to money talks.  And the two businesses had nothing to do with each other.  She just knew where the other person worked and went to her superiors and basically told them I want her fired or I will not do business with you any longer so they gave her what she wanted.

People are just down right evil.

Well, if you think you can say whatever you want, go for it. But it doesn't mean there won't be consequences. It's not denying your freedom of speech if you keep your dislike for someone to yourself. It's being a decent and civil person. There are people I don't like, but I don't go around bad mouthing them just because I can. It only makes them feel bad and me look bad. So what's the benefit?

That's too funny, 2nd Amendment JOE!  So, the world's most interesting man has struck again!

I have a feeling Roseanne has found her place in controversy once again and we'll be talking about this for a while.  *groan*  Sadly, her 'singing' the national anthem comes to mind....

I believe she deserved to be fired for the inappropriate / racist tweet she made. She should have thought about it before posting it. I don't understand how she wasn't expecting a negative backlash especially with the ABC president being black. I also feel that her apology was not sincere after she posted more tweets after and in the following days going back and forth. I watched Roseanne when I was younger and liked the show; I didn't want the newest season. I hope they do bring the news show back without Roseanne because all the cast & crew shouldn't be affected by her bad choices.

Then half the people in tv land needs to be fired.  Others have said worse than she did.  It depends on who you insult.  And she did apologize.  She didn't go back and forth on that.  Unfortunately I did read some on her Twitter account and she did argue with some people who were attacking her.  YOU would defend yourself as well if people were attacking you.  Anybody would.

Celebrities do this type of things ALL the time and then immediately apologize.  I doubt any of them are sincere.

It's 2 different things.  No, just because you can say something doesn't mean you should.  But technically she can say what ever she wants.  Like I said before, I do not like her, I never have, but if you are going to punish her for what she said then you need to punish the rest of them.  THE ONLY REASON she was fired and the show was cancelled was because she supports Trump.  That's it.

Didn't the Beckys change in the first couple of years?  I hate when shows do that.  HEY, maybe they can just hire a new Rosanne. LOLOLOL

Yeah, with no explanation why...then even made fun of it about a year later...

Sometimes you can google and find out why they changed. I guess they think you won't really notice. And a lot of people wouldn't.  There have been other shows that done that.  Usually it is just not the same at all with the new one.

Have you ever seen the orig first episode of Leave it to Beaver? It had several characters change.  The older brother and the dad both changed and seems like somebody else did.  But I like the new ones better.  Prob because that is all I ever saw.  I don't remember where I saw that orig.  Seems like it is on the DVD the first season.

No, thought they were always the same....

[mardukblood2009]

I never liked her and I really didn't like the show either so I am glad it got cancelled. I don't know why anyone was surprised about what she said. I mean just look at her show.

No, they changed maybe in about the 3rd season? Maybe later? I didn't watch the show that much but did catch that they changed that character.  I have always thought she was offensive.  The show was okay more when the kids were younger.  I didn't like it at all after they got bigger.

So everything that I don't like I should wish it would get cancelled?  We are not all the same and everybody likes different stuff.  There were a lot of innocent people who lost their jobs here.

She was incredibly stupid to make a racist tweet on twitter. I did enjoy her show but I'll never watch anything with her in it again. I would consider watching an adaptation of the show with all the actors except for her ...

I avoid Hollywood "personalities", and shock news stations.

They thrive on on sick, rude, crude, and personal agendas.
