how so..she tweeted it and no one stopped her. Its the opinion of the majority her tweet was abhorrent and thoughtless and we are allowed to voice our disgust as are her bosses.

It fundamentally bothers me that we have liberals coming onto the board right now trying to connect this to Donald Trump and his supporters. How big of a hack must you be?

Does Joy Reid's homophobic online blog posts mean all her viewers are like that?

Gee, I wonder why people are connecting Trump to Roseanne. I'm sure he called every successful new show!
That was WEEKS BEFORE this dumb tweet.

If Barack Obama had praised scheniderman for his work as NY AG weeks before the news broke about scheniderman's abuse of women, would it be fair to connect it to obama?

The problem with the double standard argument, which I appreciate, is whether or not Roseanne is a fight you want to wage.

She's not one of us (or you or anyone on the conservative spectrum), she's just an attention-seeker who flattered the President. While maybe she can still be held up to show the double standard, I personally wouldn't invest much into fighting on her behalf.

If not tweeting that an African American woman is like an ape is having to "Watch what you say," you must be a real gem of a human.

I didn't see the tweet, but if she called a black person an ape on fricking Twitter then this is a classic case of "play stupid games, win stupid prizes"

Brave of you to share this bit of information into you. I find your thoughts disgusting, but I appreciate the candor.

Well the loyal Trump supporters lashing out in this thread don't help the argument.

Racism is and should be a nonpartisan issue, but you only see if from the right.

Her show was a joke so it's no surprise it got cancelled, racist comment or not.

You're trying to use logic and reason. Neither works when used with a regressive audience. Sadly!

Not a good tweet but Disney-owned ESPN just hired Keith "Trump Nazi" Olbermann

Double standard is pretty sad

This is sad. Sad that she would say something like that. I happened to like the show. I got a lot of laughs from the show. It was good and I have no problem with a character on a tv show being a Trump supporter. I mean that's real life.

Sorry, but you're going to have to give us an example of an entertainer saying something worse that a black woman being the spawn of an ape and living to continue their career.

It can't be racist if you challenge the underlying blackness of the target!
