In Roseanne’s defense, it’s hard to know the difference between racism that gets you fired versus racism that gets you elected President of the United States.

5. K&R

Barr probably thought her racist tweet would be ignored or if it wasn't she could give a quasi-apology and all would be forgiven, as it had in the past.

Thankfully ABC wasn't willing to tolerate her racist bullshit...if only some of our citizens had felt the same way about our Pretender in Chief!

21. Or she took a risk that Fox would make her an offer...

7. The racism that makes you president is anti-immigrant racism.

Populist demagogues have been using that trick for centuries.

8. Well put

9. K&R...

10. Timing is everything.

Trump caught the racism issue on the upswing. Roseanne caught it at the bottom.

[jcgoldie]

12. Is it really at the bottom?

He has 42.4% approval. Seems to me racism is still pretty popular.

[Wounded Bear]

13. Yeah, not the bottom...

on the downswing, maybe. But I'm still not sure it has crested.

[jcgoldie]

11. Perfect.

14. Rosanne's career went from sugar to shit in less than a day.

[Chemisse]

15. What's a racist woman to do?

Perhaps she expected to be basking in a rise in popularity right about now, just like Trump did after every sickening remark during the election season.

[KSNY]

16. Yes! Now to recast the show w/o Roseanne Barr...

I suggest Wanda Sykes or Whoopi Goldberg as John Goodman's new spouse.
and fingers crossed that Trump's role will be recast too with someone classier.

[NNadir]

17. Actually, the current President of the United States was not exactly "elected."

He acceded to the office because of an artifact in the US constitution which was put there to protect slavery.

18. K&R

[rocktivity]

19. And as long as you touched on the subject

what, if anything, has President Duh Donnie tweeted in Roseanne's defense?

20. It's the finest of lines. nt

22. Billy Bush says that is true for misogyny also.
