If all it takes to piss people off is to point out where they are completely incorrect, or point out where they intentionally lied, then they need to stop being sensitive snowflakes.

If you don't want someone to point out you're wrong, then fact check yourself before talking it's the internet age, we can all do it.

If you don't want someone to point out you're lying, then don't intentionally lie.

With that much diversity in her background the only person that could even mention her would be a mime.

Where are Shields & Yarnell when they are needed?!

You have to give Rosanne credit. She is a great actress.

Watching her really made you feel like she was fat, loud, caustic, white trash.

What range.

Planet of the apes?
Really?


Everyone knows you can't compare a primate to anyone with African American blood.
But you can compare a sitting POTUS to a chimpanzee if he's white (the president. Not the chimp).
In fact, I've seen the chimp/Dubya pictures on this very site.
No outrage over race back then.
Get over yourselves.

So cancel the show.
I've not seen an episode.
WGAF?
But don't kid yourselves into thinking this was about a tweet, and not because of her marketing shift to embrace Trump supporters.


Meanwhile, if you're going to post something as a joke, it should be at least mildly funny. Otherwise it's just offensive and you get what you deserve. ala Kathy Griffin with her Trump head.

Because she is a huge Trump supporter and is popular with his base, which translates into millions of eyeballs on her show...

those comments were not offensive to her, or Trump's, followers...who think this is just Political Correctness extremism...they believe people should be able to express themselves without fear of being whacked by the civility police, regardless of who may be offended...


She was fired because your first sentence has some truth.

As for the second sentence?

I guess you're OK with a "civility police".

You know. As long as it sides with your own emotions.


I think her tweet was stupid. Not funny. Obviously it can be viewed as racist.
But has Roseanne Barr been known to be racist in her life? She's a very public person.
I've never heard of her doing anything or showing tendencies towards racism.

A couple "jokes" here and there. But nothing of substance.

Yet you want your "civility police" to bring swift justice.
Because you are offended.

You and I live by vastly different rules, my friend.

Tail is right. The hammer dropped because of her support of Trump. If the same words were said by a Trump hater, there would have been little if any reaction.

I also side with,
And I can’t believe I’m about to say this,
Victor.

This time he was just pointing out a correction. He never said “he was stirring a pot”.
Love ya like a brother FGM, but you brought it on this time.

Carry on

I, for one, am disappointed that she flew off the twitter handle. The show was moderately entertaining...I had real heartburn with the poor acting by 3 of the actresses, but it was mostly funny. They played the political jokes a little too heavy-handed, but I appreciated that they were willing to leave them in. Similar to the material from Last Man Standing -- just somehow a tiny bit refreshing for a Hollywood character to take a conservative line --- almost makes you miss Alex Keaton.....

But, I can't say that I'll miss the show; I disappointed because my wife really liked it and looked forward to it. I sorta liked that there was a 30 minute show that made her laugh and didn't make me gag....happy wife and all that....now I might have to sit through Rise or Scandal or something similar

where's the Cbid hall monitor when you need him?

I stand corrected...it appears there are a few Trump supporters in here who don't think PC has gone overboard and that offensive words or behavior (synonomous with "stupid" ?) should engender consequences....but some of them can't use the accurate adjectives to describe those words...offensive, racist...

except if spoken by their supreme leader.....he says all kinds of stuff that tweaks the bounds of decency, but gets a pass from his supporters, and applause from his base...he has loosened the filters of coarse public discourse...by his example, some people feel a shroud of personal censorship has been lifted, one that when in place allows a diverse people to coexist in harmony...

An odd question... Not really relevant because I'm pretty sure there's no chance Barr didn't know the woman's racial background.

But to play your game let's work through it. ...

If Barr truly believed the woman was white, then by calling her appearance a combination of an ape and the Muslim brotherhood, she was mocking the individual appearance of the woman herself.

In that case, the ape comment is not racist... Not really any different than calling a woman a 'dog' .... A cheap childish insult, but not racist.

But then you have the Muslim brotherhood part of it. She's implying that the woman appears middle eastern as an insult. Which, is itself insulting middle eastern people by implying that to look like them is an insult.

So she doesn't really win either way.
