Roseanne’s Show Is Canceled (Finally)
The statement was quick and to the point, following Roseanne’s racist Twitter tirade: “Roseanne’s Twitter statement is abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values, and we have decided to cancel her show.” That’s right. ABC has officially canceled Roseanne in the middle of its first season after the star tweeted that Valerie Jarrett was a “Muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby=vj.” It’s almost as if the person we said was racist would be racist. Wow. Novel.

Welp. She’s canceled. Her show is canceled. We’re happy. So is the rest of Twitter. Enjoy the consequences and stay mad you salty sickos.

I saw people wondering whether or not ABC would cancel Roseanne and I thought to myself “Black Twitter has done a lot more for less.”

ABC: This is "abhorrent" and "repugnant" and ROSEANNE is canceled!
The rest of us: "It's too late baby, yeah, it's too late/ Though you really did try … to make a show with a woman long known to be racist."

The Venn diagram of people howling Roseanne’s freedom of speech was infringed upon, and the people who say freedom of speech has consequences for kneeling NFL players, is a perfect circle.

Hey @therealroseanne.
Not only are you leaving Twitter, you're leaving TV too. Tough break.
Maybe you can pick up a new hobby. Found a deal for you. https://t.co/WevcZ3kzQO pic.twitter.com/Ap3sJp9R1O

Just take a moment to observe all the things Roseanne had to do to get canceled:
– Call Valerie Jarrett an ape
– accuse dems child sex trafficking
– tell Hillary Clinton to commit suicide
– accuse Chelsea Clinton of being part of a Jewish conspiracy
– call George Soros a Nazi— Travon Free (@Travon) May 29, 2018
'Canceled' and 'cancelled' are both standard variants. https://t.co/yI7zEjnxHp

I've said this before and I'll say it again.
Unless proved otherwise, the assumption needs to be that every single black person has a PhD in identifying racists and racist ideas.
