Instead they fired Roseanne but Caryn gets put in time out.

How is this equity?

Whatever the reason, I am sure it wasn't because of the color of anyone's skin.

Equity has nothing to do with equality.

Different situation, different departments. Whoopi is paid to give her opinion on current affairs. Roseanne compared an African-American woman to an ape.

it's not. Obvious to many people what is going on. She's POC and has "privileges" so she would never get fired.

I think we all know the answer. Avoid a media blitz and protesting. I used to like Whoopie and have most of movies she played in, buy the last and only time I saw her on The View, I truly thought she may be suffering from the early signs of dementia. A few people lose their "filters" as they get older.

I always thought Rosanne had a "She went crazy" clause in her contract, her antics in the past likely meant she was on a short leash. Also, the other co-cast had been through Rosanne causing the show to end the first time.

Let us not pretend she was a favorite of the right either, many including Republicans were still upset about how she sang the National Anthem.

Reminds me of Mr. Tiger Blood Charlie Sheen, his show was #1 but he became too toxic and was let go while the show continued.

Because one is a white Trump supporter and the other is a black Trump hater.

I believe she is Iranian, and yes she does look like an ape.
