If you are going to hire a racist bigot, have the backbone to stick up for them. Don't just benefit from them when the going is good.
They knew who they were elevating. They did it with the full backing of their corporation.
I'm sick of people doing things like this and then others giving them praise.
Come on ABC. Fight for Roseanne and her comments. You sure promoted the living shit out of the racist bigot just a few short months ago. What has changed? It wasn't your values.

(107,830 posts)just be HUMAN? Honestly, though, while she's always been a loud mouth and highly opinionated (and impulsive), I have to admit being shocked at what she's turned out to be over the past decade or so....
Damn, though, I LOOOOVE John Goodman and so many of the rest of the cast... Oh, well.... This cancellation needed to happen.

(103,601 posts)Roseanne has a long, unaltered history of saying some absolutely vile and ignorant shit, it's about damn time ABC stopped giving her a platform to do it.

(18,124 posts)Calling a 14 year old Jewish boy a Nazi when he was under the iron boot of the real Nazis takes some pretty special awfulness.

(5,787 posts)Is not seeing the show die a slow agonizing death as the advertisers and viewers abandoned them in droves.
This was a mercy killing.

(49,198 posts)We either allow people like Roseanne to legitimize hate and racism in this country, or we have someone with some power standing up to say, this is not who we are. Someone drew a line in the sand, and I'm glad. Now, let's all grab hold of that rope and pull.
All together now, Heave, Heave, Heave.
