Rosanne is racist, but the show titles aren't.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After a joke on “Roseanne” Tuesday night took aim at fellow ABC shows “Black-ish” and “Fresh Off the Boat,” some took to Twitter to in response.
In the episode, Roseanne Barr and John Goodman’s characters fall asleep on the couch, with Roseanne saying “we slept from ‘Wheel’ [of Fortune] to [Jimmy] ‘Kimmel.'” Goodman’s Dan responded that they “missed all the shows about black and Asian families,” to which Roseanne retorted “they’re just like us. There, now you’re all caught up.”
If the fictional Conners are a realistic representation of mid-west culture, I’m very content to continue flying over that part of the country without ever setting foot in it. Equally, I have zero interest in going anywhere near Hollywood or west L.A. The only opinion I have of Ellen is that she has great skin for a woman in her 50s.
Funny, you live in Texas, which is part of flyover country.

Keep right on flying, your absence won't be noticed.

Uh, no. Roseanne may be a Trump supporter but she is anything but a conservative. What she is is a conspicuous representation of how political alignments are slowly but constantly shifting. As if Trump himself weren't already a hugely conspicuous representation of this fact.
I'm still trying to find the intent to offend in Roseanne's joke(?) I don't appreciate her as a performer and I don't watch her show, but I fail to see the offense. Ugh. Fanatics. It was just a funny one liner.
It was hilarious!
If we can't laugh at ourselves... then we are screwed!
Lighten up.
Have you seen Blackish? They make fun of everyone including themselves.
Fresh off the Boat? Same thing.
The dialogue on the rebooted show is where America is at right now.
Remember Archie Bunker?
Tim Allen?
Chapelle?
It's a comedy show people.
Not our Govt. Now that's a comedy **** show!!
