Who here likes Roseanne?

Sorry to be the bear of bad news but the show was just cancelled after Roseanne made a racist tweet about one of Obama’s former aides.

from what I'm seeing, the tweet could be racist but it also may not be

@Jackaloftheazuresand Really? How could it not be racist? Just as an example...

@Graylight go look at one of the original Planet of the Apes face masks and then look at her, she has similar facial features.

@Jackaloftheazuresand Stop right there.

@Graylight Well that was the whole thing anyway, it wouldn't be the first time someone said another human looked like an ape. Go look up Trump orangutan or Bush chimp

@Jackaloftheazuresand Because others have said it it's somehow less racist?
Jackaloftheazuresand · 26-30, M
@Graylight It can easily be said to be about facial features and not race
