Thoughts on Roseanne being cancelled?

Probs misspelled her name. I don't really care. The show was garbage. She isn't even remotely funny and her IQ is double digit. However I strongly oppose any sort of censorship or prevention of free speech, regardless if it's hate speech, so I do not agree with the decision to cancel the show, as worthless as her career and show is. The fact that it's backlash for something I believe she has the right to say makes me disagree with the outcome.

Yet let me also say that I would be more inclined to defend her had she actually made a witty remark or made me laugh with her racist tweets. But the number one reason I dislike what she says is it wasn't clever or accurate. Jarrett doesn't look like a Planet of the Apes character at all. She isn't even dark sinned enough for that to be a good insult. I'm not that thin skinned. When someone wants to say something racist I don't care. I just laugh at them and their ignorance. But my god if she could at least make it funny. Maybe tho she wasn't joking. In which case then it's just another lesser human being operating from her primitive brain spewing the most outdated points of view around. And therefore should be treated with only a universal gesture of


And then forgotten about.

I didn't even realize that Valerie Jarrett was African American.

@MrBrownstone lol she was Former President Obama's advisor. I had never studied her personal life closely. She just looked like an older woman to me. I never really gave it much thought as to what her background was. A lot of folks I've seen say, who's that? So you are not alone.

@MrBrownstone You know, it doesn't really hurt her that they cancelled the show. I read somewhere not long ago that she was worth over 80 million usd.
