She revived the show too so I don’t know if I want to praise her that much. However, if a white man was in her shoes, would the show have been cancelled? Probably not.

Apparently the revival was ordered directly by her boss in the TV group Ben Sherwood abruptly to outbid a Netflix offer

This is exactly what I have been thinking and why I have trouble praising any of these networks for being progressive. Considering I can still see countless tv shows every day with abusive and shitty men I don't really think Hollywood has changed.

This softly kills me bc the show is created by former roseanne writers and the show just finished its series finale last wk. I know that this ep was suppose to air at 8:30 but still lol. At least Patricia Heaton knows better to not ruin this show before it ended.

Roseanne reruns usually come on at 9 on LAFF too, and they're playing Night Court reruns instead

I'm not up on sitcoms but really? a banned episode about kneeling during the national anthem at a football game??? like wow Kaepernick really somehow pushed some nutball racist button with this, wtf.



I mean if it was a school shooting episode or something traumatic I'd be like yeah maybe let's give it some time but literally. football anthem kneeling is THAT controversial?

you know if a white man ran ABC they would only cancel it after it lost sponsors/affiliates.

For all we know they did. I mean, this was too fast for it to have not had immediate consequences.

No. She actually tried to run for the Green Party ticket I think.



But Jill Stein's VP nom has talked about the racism she faced from GP supporters and how no one, including Jill, tried to stop it. Can you imagine how gross things would have gotten with this idiot in charge?

the original was my first time as a kid introduced to things like feminism, understanding domestic violence and why women blame themselves, birth control, abortion, etc. in 1994 it was groundbreaking to dedicate two episodes just on abortion the way she did. now it's 2018 and she thinks ~take a knee~ jokes are groundbreaking.

The one known T**mp supporter on my FB is saying that he doesn't condone what Rosanne said, and that they're not racist, but is saying that if remarks had been said about 45 or ppl affiliated with him nothing would've been done, and she would've been hailed a hero for 'standing up'. Went on to say how 'liberals play by only their rules', and is hoping Fox will pick up the show.



Errr, you cant be racist to white people, and I guess they forgot about what happened to Kathy Griffin and Michelle Wolfe?

I basically abandoned Twitter because of how White Republicans are so clueless about the state of their country, it's hilarious and sad at the same time. They spew shit like they ever went persecution and are also been thirsting to be persecuted.

They hope Fox will pick it up? I know these dumbasses think everything they read is fake news, but Fox is about to get bought by ABC’s parent company so no way are they gonna bring it back.

there were a ton of people on twitter saying that bill maher should be cancelled (again) because he compared trump to orangutan. because they seriously cannot tell the difference between the two situations. then again, no one's ever accused republicans of being smart.

Wait what? You can't be racist to white people? Why not. There are definitely people of color who are definitely nasty purposely and dislike white people. I Cringe every time I see a person of color say you can't be racists towards a white person?? How not?? Unreal.

Assuming you actually don't know this, fine, I'll break it down. Absolutely, there can be prejudice against white people (which is fairly deserved) due to the oppression and racism constantly faced, but racism is bigger than just the idea that "WHITE PEOPLE SUCK/BLACK PEOPLE SUCK." Racism comes from the systematic oppression that is built into governments, institutions and social structures, ie. White Privilege. White is the default race in Western society, White is seen as the 'ultimate,' and everything that is not white is Other. White westerners have never faced the brutal oppression that most other races have faced - white people have not been imported to a country as a product/commodity to be used for slavery, their land has not been forcefully taken, they are not unfairly targeted by police/the law or denied jobs or places in the media.



The whole of society does not consciously or unconsciously work AGAINST them the way it does for people who actually suffer racism.



White people have not suffered to this extent AT ALL, so saying 'white people suck' does not have the connotations attached to it as when you say "i hate black people." Historically, white people have been abusive tyrants, and other races have been subjugated and abused and killed. I don't know how people are incapable of understanding the distinction, unless maybe you're not from a white-majority nation.



And honestly, only babies will hear "white people suck" and go "WAAAH MY LIFE IS SO UNFAIR BECAUSE I'M WHITE." Because IT ISN'T. It isn't fucking hard to be white. If it makes you think "WAH IT'S SO UNFAIR WHEN PEOPLE STEREOTYPE," then maybe think about how difficult life must be for every other race when they are unfairly stereotyped every single hour of every single day of their lives. There is no equality.
