Do some basic reading and you will find that I in no way disagreed, I only pointed out that linking someone to Vox to prove your point is almost worse than linking them to Fox.

First you have to look at any tweets Roseann made when the show first aired.  This would be the time frame where ABC and Roseann probably had some type of agreement.  If she made a bunch of racist comments between that time frame then you can label them as being slow.  Also, we do not know if this was not the first time ABC actually had conversations with Roseann about her tweets.  This could have been the third offense and termination was the next option.  

Two words: cash money.

Isn't it common consensus at this point in time, aside from religion, that Homo sapiens eventually evolved from apes/monkeys/chimps/etc, and that the cradle of all human life originated in Africa? Wouldn't that then mean every single human being is some part black, and some portion primate? Meaning anyone who referred to anybody else as an ape would be a racist based solely on political correctness as it is understood by some, but technically would be biologically correct?

If you go by history, and how calling blacks monkeys, apes, hell you even have cartoons and other material that show examples of this all the time.  So no, it was not stated as anything but a slur to dehumanize a race.  Hell back in the day, they had so called scientist try to portray blacks as a sub human species so they could make their case for enslavement.  Basically what you are saying is garbage.  The whole meaning of calling another race an animal is to make then appear to be subhuman and thus progragate hate for that group.  Its to make them look less then human so when you do inhuman things to them you can state they do not have human status.  Read up on this stuff so that you can understand why this is not a trivial matter.

What bothers me is how television networks feel the need to do something so drastic like this. Now, I certainly don't know the whole story, but my initial reaction is that what Roseanne did was probably on her own accord, unaffiliated with ABC. Sure, ABC can cancel the show, that's their right, but at that point I wouldn't put the blame entirely on Roseanne Barr.

It seemed a bit extreme to cancel the show, but you can't just fire roseanne from the roseanne show. It's not freaking roseanne at that point. I don't know how hard it is for celebrities to keep their traps shut.

Never thought she was racist. Actually i thought she was a immgrant or at least had immigrant roots.

People can be both immigrant and racist.

True,move whatever skincolour to colder regions and they would turn white in far future and vice versa.
