Same ones mad at Roseanne losing her show are the ones who were mad at Michelle Wolfe.

Same one pissed at kneeling football players and say that if their employers don’t agree with that they’re saying then their employees have every right to fire them. But it’s funny to see Roseanne herself admit that she’s wrong and shouldn’t have done it but there are folks who are still vehemently defending her. How can you still defend someone who themselves thing they’re in the wrong?

While you can assume what she meant, the fact of the matter is at best she said it indirectly. Muslim Brotherhood is quite clear, but Planet of the Apes isn't. If you know about the franchise, it's about apes vs humans. Everybody jumped to the same conclusion instantly though. Now I'm not saying that what she said was ok, or that she couldn't be indirectly referring to the ape part of the franchise, but it just goes to show how indirect you can be when speaking and have it turned into whatever people want it to mean.

While she does say some outlandish stuff, she had to know how people would take this in general and how the SJW's and media would aggressively react. Assuming her career would be completely unaffected seems unlikely. I wonder if she or the cast was having problems with ABC and wanted out but couldn't, so she sabotaged herself to do so. Last Man Standing was sold off to Fox by ABC, so it wouldn't be a shock to see the same thing happen here.

Are you suggesting everyone else is racist for assuming she meant to imply the apes and maybe she intended how rugged the humans look? Because that's kind of a funny way to think of it that I hadn't considered. Still, what she was implying is quite clear

That’s what it is. Because Roseanne went at Chelsea Clinton and never made a single ape reference. But she’s gone after 2 black women and referred to both as apes. But we’re the ones who are racist for putting 2+2 together.

Freedom of speech comes with consequences. Good anyways, the show was boring.

Yes! It’s like people don’t understand what “Freedom Of Speech” really means. I guess I’ll use another reference to kneeling NFL players. As much as I love Colin Kaepernick and am a huge 49ers fan he knew what he was getting into when he started kneeling. He has the freedom to exercise his right to protest but fans also have the freedom to show their disapproval by not showing up to games. And owners have a right to not sign him because it would hurt their pockets. This is a prime example of that same sort of thing. ABC does not want to be associated with such a thing so they let Roseanne go. The same folks pissed off about this are the ones who cheer on Colin Kaepernick not playing in the NFL again

PC nonsense of the modern world has killed off Roseanne Reboot. You can not have an opinion that the PC crusaders disagree with on social media. On social media you basically have to tell people what they want to hear and give off the vibe of all sunshine and rainbows. 

 Nothing “PC“ about what she said. How can she admit that she’s wrong but you defend her? If she believes that she made a mistake why do you think she’s right?

OMG now Roseanne is on twitter blaming her reckless tweet on Ambien. Really?

Next she’ll go to rehab. It’s what celebrities do when they screw up.

I was just kidding and thinking that’s a funny interpretation. It’s obvious what she meant by the reference.

I mean, she has the right to express her opinion but one has to remember that freedom of expression doesn't grant you immunity against potential backlash.

You're getting too offended over something incredibly minor.

Only happened because she is conservative and the joke was on an Obama Member. Joy Behar is still on the air.

Well she is been hating on people who supported Obama/Hilary for years, she called herself a Radical conservative and someone who is disgusted by her own children because some ended up like liberals.  It was not a secret they know who she was and still greenlighted the show. Black/White/Muslim/Jewish/Left or Right/communist or Capitalist if you keep saying stuff like that on Twitter you should know that people will one day have enough of you.

Wow, I never really watched Roseanne, but seeing this thread title shocked me since I heard how amazingly well the reboot did. I just asked "How in god's name could it have been cancelled?", and well, the answer was ... informative.

Not surprised it got cancelled, but surprised she'd say something like that openly. Was it even a response to something, or did she just randomly open her mouth (metaphorically) on Twitter and say it out of the blue?

Let me just say that you should be happy if you never were a follower of her on twitter.

With the one of the last shootings one person replaced one of the anti gun speech kids with hitlers audio she retweeted it with 'Nazi Salute'. That one was before the new show aired I think not sure.

Good to know.

If i ever work for ABC i can say suck my dick but not  racist jokes.
