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.

I have been a huge fan of hers since she did her "Domestic Goddess" stand-up routine on Carson...although I have always been aware that she is a bit unhinged and hated by many...she has brought me joy and laughter for decades. She is dead to me now...breaks my heart...who knew she was an ignorant racist? Not I!

@Fernie, I feel the same way. While I never cared for her stand up routines, I liked her show. She had a lot of great actors and actresses that made that show what it was.

It is like she died because there is no going back after saying what she said. Apparently she had a history of saying a lot of hateful things.

@Peapod Yes, she has stepped over many lines but this trump support and racist BS is the last one...you are right...no going back. I'll bet she is shocked at the consequences of her tweet which came down swift and hard

@Fernie, I think she really thought she could just take it back. The president has gotten away with being vulgar. I see vulgar and nasty all over the Internet, so maybe none of us should be surprised to see it come from celebrities.

@Peapod Yep...if she actually didn't see how horrible that tweet was...she is a typical trump supporter...they do NOT think

@Fernie, I hate this sort of thing, regardless of whom someone supports. But I do admit to seeing unprecedented hatred (at least on the Internet) coming from his biggest supporters. He is simply someone that seems to have given a voice to some people that have always been quietly racist, bigoted, and just plain intolerant of people they don't want to understand. Of course that is NOT all his supporters.

@Peapod NO!not ALL his supporters are dead in the head. Many are now seeing the mistake they made but his KKK level supporters were ALWAYS here....he enticed them out of their hidey holes and apparently Roseanne is one of those
