Disagree.

For someone claiming ignorance on the issue, you sure do have a very detailed stance on it.

Some of you sound like the guy who gets told a stereotypical joke that isn't funny and then proceeds to act like you have no idea why it's even a stereotype and deny the reality of the stereotype. Sure, it's not funny, but youre not so dumb that you don't understand it.

I don't disagree that she crossed the line posting that on Twitter.. that was never the discussion. My problem with it is everyone jumping at the opportunity to create yet another race baiting discussion, when we constantly avoid having any actual dialogues regarding the issue.

You read things a lot of times and never seem to grasp them. I'm not surprised. And no you didn't, you've always disliked me, so let's not pretend.

I misunderstood your question. What is your theory exactly?

Denial 101. You and me making that joke is one thing. We can be total insensitive dicks in the shadows. But Roseanne, who again, has a long history, doing it under a glaring spotlight is a completely different thing. Time after time she's been proven to be a douche.

Oh my god nobody cares, Chula, go away.

They were planning on cancelling the show long before this and knew that this would be a socially acceptable way to execute that than the ambiguous reason of her not being good PR or having a sustainable fan base.

Not true. At all. We started out on a good foot.

Got it. Sounded like you were describing yourself since you're the only one rejecting that something is a stereotype here.

My guess is that you think I take it more seriously than I actually do. It's a ****ing sitcom star. Let em all rot.
