There isn't anything "Racist" about her comments.

Read the damn definition of the word people!

It was a joke anyway. A dig at her (undesirable) foreign parentage and "pedigree" being the worst of the absolute worst cultures that you could possibly mix.
Just....wow. Why is her "foreign parentage" undesirable? We are a nation of immigrants. What is wrong with her cultural background? Just so you know...her parents educational and career attainment probably put yours and those of 99 per cent of us native born Americans to shame. Which isn't unusual...immigrants and their children often outperform the majority of native born s...think of the founders Apple, Google, Tesla, SpaceX, Amazon, Intel, Reddit, Yahoo, eBay, and so on..you get the picture.
This country is also full of people of Middle Eastern heritage who have made or are making major contributions, if that is what you meant...you can start with Steve Jobs and Apple.

It's doubly hilarious since Roseanne has been all over the place politically and has also behaved disrespectfully during the anthem (crotch-grabbing and spitting.) Funny how the righties only come out to support now that she's mouthing off in favor of Trump and a publicly-outed bigot? Gee, I wonder why?
Like the sjw left. The right is also hypocritical. Sadly no one sees this, or points it out.

Ha. Just watched the entire Hannity show. They didn't even cover this story.
Now watching Laura Ingraham who appears to think that the news story of separating parents from their children at the borders is something to laugh and be smug about.
Fox news...what bunch of losers.

Roseanne is a liar and racist. She deserves what she got. President Twitter’s days are numbered as well.

Yep...many of them wanted to ruin the careers of those players...no sensitivity whatsoever to the long history of treating African-American terribly in this country...and many would have gladly seen them deported or imprisoned. What was most amazing to me about many of them was how they blatantly ignored statements by the players and those around them that it was not an attack on soldiers or on the country but a declaration that all is not well in America...similar to the abolitionists displaying the flag upside down during the days of slavery.
They really don't support free speech unless it is along the lines of the sentiments expressed by Barr today.

She screwed the pooch.
Yeah, she sure attached a ton of baggage to the show in an instant, didn’t she?

Shame. I grew up with the series and was excited for the reboot. And in a flash it’s gone again.

That’s because they’re horrible people.

I do.

I think the far right and far left are equally snowflakey, and have far more in common than they'd care to admit.

One reason I was also enjoying the new reboot of Roseanne. It was a great poke at both sides, while still being topical, relevant and balanced.
