"Roseanne" took unnecessary shots at "Blackish" and "Fresh Off the Boat"

https://shadowandact.com/this-weeks-roseanne-episode-took-offensive-unnecessary-shots-at-both-black-ish-and-fresh-off-the-boat/


Here's the line from "Roseanne Gets the Chair," which many referred to as "nasty" on social media:

Roseanne: We slept from Wheel to Kimmel.

Dan: We missed a lot of shows about Black and Asian families.

Roseanne: They’re just like us. Now you’re all caught up.

They can miss a lot of Black and Asian families in their audience, probably best for all involved.

my tv will be black’ish when their show is on.

They lost me after the first premiere. The conspiracy tweet, nazi cookies & trump praise was enough. Then abc stated tRumps support could only be a good thing because *ratings*.
Abc has no integrity as I can see they had no careful strategy of responsibility with this show except viewers.
