Roseanne Barr Got “Roseanne” Canceled After Posting A Racist Tweet
May 29, 2018
The President Of The United States’ favorite TV star loves Twitter almost as much as he does. And they both use it to spew racist malarky, but only one of them has been pressured to apologize and is facing actual consequences. Roseanne Barr has officially crossed the line after a racist tweet prompted consulting producer Wanda Sykes to finally quit that bitch. Now ABC has just announced that they too are quitting that bitch and canceled the fuck out of Roseanne.
While responding to one of her mind bogglingly ratchet conspiracy theories, The President of The United States’ favorite TV star chimed in on a post about the Obama administration spying on French presidential candidates (a Julian Assange exclusive!) and took a pop-shot at Obama’s former advisor Valerie Jarrett.
Can you guess what race Valerie is from this tweet? I bet you can!
According to Variety, Valerie is “African-American” and “was born in Iran to American parents”. Because she’s a subterranean, mouth breathing troll, Roseanne first played coy at first when called out on her racist bullshit.
Muslims r NOT a race.

Whoever it is at ABC who has the unenviable job of monitoring Roseanne’s Twitter activity must have sent out an alert. Roseanne actually issued an apology.
I apologize. I am now leaving Twitter.

And within two minutes, somebody must have let a bitch know that wasn’t good enough, so she issued another one elaborating on why she was a bad girl (but not really).
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.

By this point, Wanda had finally had enough and announced that she was quitting the show.
I will not be returning to @RoseanneOnABC.

But you can’t quit what doesn’t exist anymore. ABC just announced that Roseanne has finally gone too far. Thanks, ABC, good to know where you stand.

Ah shucks. And to think, ABC went and had Twitter make a Roseanne couch emoji for nothing.
I guess there’s still a chance that The President Of The United States could offer Roseanne a pardon but I don’t think that’s how TV actually works. Roseanne may have been able to bring Dan Conner back from the dead, but hopefully Roseanne will stay buried forever.
