“Misleading? You mean Barr wasn’t fired over the tweet? “

It was a Barr tweet about VJ, not a VJ tweet.

“And to all the other nicey-nicey girls here who are so upset that Roseanne made an mean joke and are glad somebody ratted her out to Teacher - stick it where the sun don’t shine!”

Preach it!!

It’s refreshing to see a post from someone with a spine. I’m beyond sick of cowards who are supposedly on our side condemning anyone who dares to insult their leftist masters.

So you just sit there quietly and obediently abide by the rules of the left

Feel free to boycott ABC and Disney.

Sorry you are so sensitive. I really don’t think the comment was that bad. Not at all like holding a severed head when so many Americans had heads sawn off.

Tell me again why people think a comment about planet of the apes is racist? Just who automatically relates Apes with blacks? I would think that people like that are the racists

Well I stand corrected then. I HOPE she comes back. It’s the only show I watch on TV other than OANN and FOX.

All depends on one's point of view I guess.

It happens here all the time. Meanwhile, over on Twitter, dozens of successful and funny people are rushing to her defense. But over here? “Oh, she’s in such bad taste!” I can’t stand it.

I’m not discussing what’s ideally right or wrong here - but our reality as it exists, and what’s smart or stupid within that context. I wouldn’t have posted or tweeted something like that if I wanted to keep my show. Barr has been around long enough to understand how things are stacked, and she could have foreseen this.

What happens to the show, and its influence, now? She was winning; and this could have been avoided.

Maybe some of the Freepers are right, and she wanted to lose it after all.

It’s funny that by setting up a system where you can only call white people monkeys or apes, lefties are implying that the comparison to white people is too far off to be genuinely insulting. What does that tell you about leftist opinions of black people?


Exactly. I always felt that the insult “white trash” was insulting to BLACKS.

Jumping to the conclusion that comparing Jarrett to being an offspring of a humanic ape is racist says more about the racism of the observer!

Roseanne probably didn’t even know that she had a black father. Most of us think of her as an Iranian muslim spy who looks like somebody threw acid in her face. I didn’t know she had a black father; news to me.

This tweet wasn't bad at all. There have been far worse by David Letterman, who even was involvement of sexual harassment (he admitted it); Kimmel; Jon Stewart; April of CNN; etc.

ABC probably had plans to drop it all along. They just used this as an excuse. No way were they going to allow a show headed by a pro-Trumper. For ABC (and other networks) left-wing political agenda come first.

Freedom of speech doesn’t necessarily protect you from firing if you’ve said or done something that your employer dislikes or finds damaging to business.

I'm sorta thinking that had the show been left on the air, we would quickly discover that the tweet did absolutely nothing to damage the business.

I don't think Roseanne's demographics would give a crap.

Honestly, you cannot actually SEE any African features. She looks less black than Megan Markle. Duchess Megan Markle, I mean.

"Seems to me America there’s a clue here as to the power of the anonymous international leftist cabal behind the curtain manipulating the machine that makes such decisions over the Democrat party, and their sycophants such as ABC."

A very big clue. If someone don't know that the news, entertainment, banks, major corps, political parties and the schools are owned and controlled by the NWO cabal then they haven't been paying attention.

They try to keep their control of our culture somewhat hidden while they sleepwalk us into their new world order, but they do have one rule and if you violate that rule in one of their controlled fields you will be destroyed.

What's that rule?

ADVANCE THE PROGRESSIVE NARRATIVE.

As long as you do that you are allowed to compete for the money, the fame, the power, the sex, the money and, of course, the $$$, But if one time you fail to advance the progressive narrative you are gone as quick as Roseanne being kicked off the set of her #1 rated sitcom.
