2. And why make the only black woman in their lives invisible and silent?

Could it be that even Roseanne knows she can't get away with her crap in the presence of a grown-assed black woman - she'd get eaten her alive.

So much better to prove she's so not racist by parading around a completely dependent 5-year-old black kid who hasn't yet formed any political opinions and certainly won't challenge any of Roseanne's.

Why dont they show the gender fluid kid getting kicked out to live on the streets? ismnotwasm Mar 2018 #1
