Blackish is extremely racist..but i have the choice not to watch and i choose to not watch it....didn't really watch Rosanne either FWIW.

I watched Blackish a few times, it was okay, there were a few laughs, but nothing I would watch on a regular basis. When I watched, there wasn't anything in it I thought was offensive or racist..

In fact, I watched a few episodes of Roseann and there was an episode about some Muslims moving on side of them and if you think Blackish is bad, I think that you can say Roseann crossed the same lines. We are not talking about what was said in their show.. We are talking about saying something that you know will get backlash.

Years ago there was a black dude that was taken off of Grey's Anatomy because he called his co-worker a f@g. That was stupid of him. Just like it was stupid of Roseann. If the dude who called the other dude a f@g was the main character, they would have cancelled the show..

Here come all the liberals from their mom’s basement to ridicule an American for caring about The United States of America.

What was your point? I didn’t read your post. Sorry.

It doesn't matter what she really is. What matters is what Barr thought she is.

Cant see why it matters what Barr thought, is a black person being compared to a Planet of the Apes character different than a white person being compared to the same character?

Truth REALLY hurts..!

let's focus on ABC specifically....they have a show called Blackish that goes full bore attack on the white race but it is funny, because it is just a joke and doesn't mean anything. Blackish is extremely racist..but i have the choice not to watch and i choose to not watch it....didn't really watch Rosanne either FWIW

someone has never seen that show before

That is a great example of a guy who’s lost his mind.

You can’t call black people primates without it being considered racist.

What she said was stupid. She was justifiably fired for it.

There really is no defending her.

I know it’s not a popular opinion, but allow me to express my belief that it’s not okay to compare mixed race people to primates.

I’m not defending anyone that calls Trump an Orangutan.

Not a fan of whataboutism.
