"Roseanne's Twitter statement is abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values, and we have decided to cancel her show," ABC Entertainment president Channing Dungey said Tuesday.
ABC, in a stunning move, has decided to cancel its Roseanne revival following star Roseanne Barr's racist tweet Tuesday. "Roseanne's Twitter statement is abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values, and we have decided to cancel her show," ABC Entertainment president Channing Dungey said Tuesday.
Early Tuesday, star, head writer and exec producer Barr attacked Valerie Jarrett, a senior adviser to former President Barack Obama, in a since-deleted tweet in which she said "Muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby=vj." Barr subsequently apologized: "I apologize to Valerie Jarrett and to all Americans. I am truly sorry for making a bad joke about her politics and her looks. I should have known better. Forgive me my joke was in bad taste."
Walt Disney Co. CEO Bob Iger also weighed in on the decision to cancel Roseanne: "There was only one thing to do here, and that was the right thing," he tweeted.

Barr's tweet prompted a massive outcry across social media, with thousands condeming the actress-comedian's comments and calling on ABC to cancel her series. The Disney-owned network's decision to cancel the comedy marked the first time the network has taken action in response to one of Barr's controversial tweets.
Axing the Roseanne revival was no small decision for ABC.

Lol!
ValJar is only "black" because of Democrat Party Jim Crow racism and one-drop laws.
She may have slightly more African genomic markers than the average white southerner, but not by much.
She’s “black” by convention - racist one-drop Jim Crow laws passed and enforced by big government Democrats.
Let’s hope that FOX picks up the show.
ABC gets dumber every day.
Robin Roberts softball interview of Milwaukee BB player after he got tased for refusing to obey police officers’ orders is just one more example.
Everything is being brought down to the level of ‘trophies for participation’.
Black father & Iranian mother-—closely connected to the Muslim Brotherhood. .
There’s no bigger racist than Barack Obama. https://www.onenewsnow.com/culture/2018/02/16/when-art-intersects-with-white-womens-necks
She was fired because they want something else on Trump. He was already asked today what he felt about Roseanne getting fired. This time he had enough sense to ignore the idiotic question. Racist Jerret was asked today about the firing and said we have to set an example and it starts at the top. Trump had nothing to do with Roseannes firing but that will be the story. Its Trumps fault. I hope he he doesnt respond to any questions about the racist being fired. Then again I dont care. Im watching him in Nashville right now. Lets see if he mentions Roseanne. Whether he does or its Trumps fault. Its always Trumps fault.
Just amazing.
“Jimmy Kimmel” and “The View” are on ABC! Vile liberals.
To be honest, I only knew her as Iranian.
"African american" would *never* cross my mind.
Both of her parents look pretty "white" to me.
However they DO look VERY liberal.
The bat$hit crazy glasses gives it away.
Her parents were/are very left, commies basically.
I do not think she has any middle eastern genealogy. They are American. Her father moved the family to Iran for work. That’s why she grew up there.
That being said, you're feigning ignorance. There is a fairly sad history of racists referring to black people as monkeys, apes, etc., so it is rude and classless for someone to do that nowadays, amd pretty much begs for a backlash
I can't stand the mainstream media, but Roseanne tied and knotted the rope with which she was just hung.
Lol.
Some joker got in there before it was locked down.
I just started reading this thread so forgive me if this has been asked... or stated.
My question is:
Can Roseanne sue ABC for breaking a contract?
Her name is Roseannekoft Barrski a Russian colluder.. (What I tell liberals.)
They also keep deleting the facts about her family.

Some political animals remind me of other characters.
A certain tall, brunette woman reminds me of Wonder Woman.
A daughter of a famous politician reminds me of Howdy Doody's sister, Heidi.
A foreign leader looks like a toad.
One political advisor looks like a lizard, and another one looks like a snake.
An a certain newscaster resembles the comic book version of Superman.
I laughed out loud when I read what Roseanne wrote...
Her father looks mullato. Her mother also looks mixed. Who knows of what races. That makes Jerret a Heinz 57. What she really is is a Muslem Brotherhood-supporting racist. Like her brother Obama.
