a white woman and well known racist just could not stop herself. She feels entitled to spew her filth. Archie Bunker played a racist. Rosanne is one. She spewed this on twitter, a well know TV personality felt it was cool to just vent her spleen on a black woman. She called her an ape. She is a trumper. What a surprise.

Karma baby, you just got your ass kicked to never never land. No show, CANCELLED. All reruns, CANCELLED. Bye baby bye.
Fuck you.

As for her coworkers, I feel for them and for you to imply it was their white privilege that got them there...no it was Rosanne's that got them there. You need a little understanding here. Not all white people wield their whiteness as privilege. Rosanne did. only Rosanne.
