I do have a question…and I don’t mean to imply that anything would justify this…but why Valerie Jarrett? This seems so out of left field. Had Valerie been in the news recently???
I was surprised that ABC greenlit this reboot to begin with. Rosanne’s politics are not exactly easy to hide or explain away, which is what ABC was having to do on a constant basic.
I haven’t learned how to create an image from a tweet, so I have to do this in two parts to capture the beauty of a dictionary.com tweet.

Bizarre is one word to describe Roseanne's comments about Valerie Jarrett, or you could use this one: dictionary.com/browse/racist

Earlier, dictionary.com tweeted this (Huffington Post put it in image form, for my benefit):
Unfortunately, I have to warn that dictionary.com is atrocious as a dictionary replacement. Even at the elementary grade levels, teachers warn kids not to use it.
ABC can fire whatever racist they please. Barr is free to go on saying whatever stupid things she wants.
Nah, more like “Nice broadcast spectrum there, pity we need to reallocate it to Time Warner/AT&T…”
She can sing the National Anthem at the White House then spit and grab herself by the p*ssy.
Trump would like that.
This “Planet of the Apes” thing keeps re-appearing. How vile
It’s like a flashing red neon sign: Racist.
Being a close associate of a known racist, and profiting from that association, is not a badge of honor or a feather in your career cap.
How the hell Liev Schreiber looks himself in the mirror every morning is a puzzle.
Doubt that she becomes a host: Not young enough and she’d have to bleach her hair.
Trump tweet about failing ABC and liberal, Hollywood media in 3, 2, 1…
She has managed to make hundreds of people lose their jobs because
she just couldn’t get her seething tin foil racism under control. Let’s face it----another
trickle down supporter of trump goes down in flames. Now we have to listen to his idiocy
for the next few weeks.
(I have to admit that I am absolutely shocked ABC booted her).
Because her screeching, crotch-grabbing rendition of the national anthem wasn’t disrespectful but football players, of all races, taking a knee to silently protest racial and social injustice is.
Mr. Mueller, please hurry. Better yet, Mr. Reaper, now’d be as good a time as any…
And this time, it won’t be 'grim" if it happens.
I might point out the fact that pretty much everyone ELSE on the show are liberal. If a conservative network tries to pick it up, it’s going to have a a cast of one.
They are off the hook for having to make that choice themselves. All in all, given the circumstances, they come out ahead.
Absolutely!!
Maybe the “overrated actress” Meryl Streep can take over the role?
Barr’s apology was not too impressive. Reminds me of this:
His name is Bobby, he looks like a potato
[…]
Oh Bobby, I’m sorry you gotta head like a potato
I really am
