Ruin a life? LOL! Roseanne is rich.

She was fired and dragged through the mud as a racist. It happens to the unwealthy as well.

She has no one to blame but herself.

She did nothing wrong. We can rightfully blame the public relations culture of the politically correct for giving us a world where someone can get fired for a bloody tweet.

Doesn't matter if she did nothing wrong. She KNEW the reactions and possible cancellation would happen. That is her own fault. You are not immune from your employer firing you.

It does matter if she did something wrong or not. It’s called justice.

Why are we talking about justice? Roseanne risked the consequences. That's on her.

Justice entails that people are treated fairly. Injustice is the opposite. The folks at Charlie Hebdo risked the consequences of mocking the prophet, but it would be foolish to say that their murder was on them.

Yeah she looks just like Carter’s character. She doesn’t look African American, and I assume Rosanne didn’t think so either.

She has 2 African American parents. Rosanne knew that she was born in Iran, but didn't know that her American parents working in Iran were black? I don't believe that. Maybe Roseanne didn't know Obama was black either!

I remember that Valarie Jarrett met with CAIR during Obama’s presidency. CAIR has been accused of being a front for the Muslim Brotherhood.

So? Trump just met with North Korea's despicable head spy. Does that put Trump "in bed with" Kim Jung Un's spy team? As a presidential advisor I'd guess Valerie Jarret met with a lot of controversial figures. But, you know, Obama was the founder of ISIS! LOL

So you think we should be immune from firing no matter how much we insult coworkers and bosses or make the company look bad?

No, it doesn’t. I’m just pointing out that there is a Muslim Brotherhood connection, admittedly spread by conspiracy theory, but there nonetheless.

You knew Vallarie Jarrett’s parents were black? They don’t look it.

I do actually.

After all, It doesn’t make a company look bad. It makes a fallacious mob believe the company is bad, guilt by association and all that.

No. That's extremely idealistic and naïve of you! Justice tries to right wrongs and balance unbalanced scales. Justice is blind, supposedly, so as not to be able to "see" and be influenced by race or sex or opulence. But justice never pretends to be fair.

Which causes the profit to tank.

Justice is an ideal. It’s naive to say otherwise.

Honestly, do you think Rosanne was comparing Jarrett to monkeys?

A profit motive isn’t an accurate measure of treatment of others. I get the whole public relations angle, but wholly disagree with its use.

I’m just pointing out that there is a Muslim Brotherhood connection,

Yeah, the same connection that Mike Pompeo has with Kim Jung Un's dynasty! They met, they're making "Planet of the Apes" and crazy dictator commie socialist babies! Because, you know, Koreans look like apes too.

Yes. Honestly, how can you argue that she wasn't?

Because planet of the apes is a piece of fiction with humans wearing costumes and makeup.

Feel free to spread that nonsense; I for one wouldn’t fire you for it.

By that logic Roseanne could have been saying that Valerie Jarrett is a fiction.

Who speak English, ride horses, and shoot guns.

Correct. Humans are in it as well. Maybe Roseanne was comparing VJ to one of those humans?

Apes are not in it, is the point.

The movie? Yes, Sherlock. The story is the point. Seems you are getting desperate by telling us the obvious.
