Valerie Jarrett actually has the facial structure of an ape. That comment was in no way race related. Its not her fault that you guys apparently think of black people every time someone says ape or monkey.

A bunch of geniuses over there. Who would’ve guessed no one wanted to see Roseanne without Roseanne and that people would boycott the show as a frick you to the network that fired her


Roeseanne's biggest enemy has always been Roseanne.

She is a talented actor/comedian/writer/producer who just happens to be a complete a-hole.

Well if you do business with her you go into it knowing she's going to have a complete a-hole moment once or twice a year. If you can't handle Roseanne at full a-hole then you don't hire her in the first place.

Whether she leans liberal (which she has) or conservative (her current tack but that could change at any minute) the one constant as the Northern Star is that she will be an a-hole. Either don't do business with her or expect her to live down to your expectations.

How is Roseanne a racist? Serious question.

Only in the minds of the drama queens who love to get offended.

She's obviously not, it's just an easy go-to.

Network TV is ran by a bunch of liberal idiots who are blind to reality.

Norm said she's liberal but she's single issue on Israel, and she thought Obama disrespected Israel so she supported Trump who was pro-Israel.

I've never cared for her, but it's kind of hilarious that network execs thought they could just ditch her and keep doing the Roseanne show without Roseanne.

John Goodman is strong enough to carry a show, but this was a dumb way to do it.

Good.

I said all along they rushed their decision.

Should have suspended and let things cool down..

I was actually hoping Roseanne would get picked up by another network.

I imagine Roseanne is more of an idiot than an actual racist.

Still not a good luck to refer to any black person as an ape or monkey, but it's a shame some people do look or act like certain animals.. regardless of their actual ethnicity.

It’s like I’m the only person who remembers when Roseanne was considered filthy, unpatriotic, and... liberal. She was an Air America radio host for god sake.

Probably realizing that Jarret and the rest of the CORRUPT CRIMINALS in D.C. are being exposed and about to go to jail..

Maybe. They decimate lost the Home Impro..
Last Man Standing crowd. They hold onto butthurt like LSU fans. But being honest, Roseanne was the worst part of the new show, she was awful.

Am I the only one that has always thought that her comment wasn't about race at all? That woman looks exactly like that character in Planet of the Apes.

She didn't know Jarret was black.

So how was it racist?


Oh bullshite. Whether or not she should have been fired immediately without giving it sufficient thought and discussion is obviously open for debate, but this lie was so transparent you could take high-definition pictures through it. She clearly had strong opinions about Jarret and didn't even know that extremely basic thing about her? She was trying to cover her arse, and just made it worse because, well, it was such a transparent lie that people became even less inclined to believe any of the other excuses she tried to roll out.
