Imagine being part of the cast and crew and you lose your job cause of that idiot tweet.

Did she try to justify it by saying it was a joke?
I hate when people do that. Sure it is a joke, but it doesn't make it less racist.

And I share a last name with her. There aren't really any other famous Barrs other than Anthony and then the kicker brothers of the 80's (different spelling).
So people often hear my name and try to jokingly associate me with her. It is really a lot of fun.

Re: What are you currently watching on TV?
Wow, that was pretty blatant. Feel bad for the rest of the cast and crew but Roseanne burned her own bridge while she was standing on it this time.

Wow. Good on ABC.
I am curious to LV's thoughts on this as he's been the biggest defender of the show.

Re: What are you currently watching on TV?
Knowing where Roseanne herself is "coming from" (somewhere in outer space), the afore-mentioned "modern" values came off as simply disingenuous to me. I don't buy Roseanne as a "sensible" conservative to Jackie's "wackiest of the wacky" liberal. Or including a black grandchild just to prove that she's not racist. The whole thing made me uncomfortable.tragabigzanda wrote:I agree but I'm also bummed. The reboot has ranged from good to fantastic, and the modern Conner family was an awesome venue for the writers and performers to explore the ideas that seem to be tearing our country apart.run2death wrote:She totally deserved it.
