'Roseanne' cancellation means hundreds of crew members are about to be unemployed
I do not think that abc thought about the situation correctly.
Pretty narrow article. I'm sure that they (ABC), who have been in the industry for many many years and have a lot more extensive knowledge than you do, thought about it. They chose conviction over money. Which is pretty rare these days. They are the ones that lost the most, cash-wise (assuming that advertisers weren't going to drop out also). Additionally, her coworkers were dropping off as well after her tweet.
As someone who's part of that world, yes, it is a temporary setback for a lot of those workers, but shows get cancelled all the time. Those people move around from show to show especially as they film at different times/seasons. They are union and there is more work waiting.
And this is just a sad attempt to shift blame to ABC.
2. In the US, most black folks that I know pretty much go with what their family goes by. It's not quite as necessary these days to be "passing" as it was during Jim Crow. To me, she looks like a lot of light skin black women with freckles. If you view her as white, that's your privilege. But, I think it helps to put this furor in the proper racial context to really understand it from every available perspective.

I just took some Ambien and went over to my neighbors house and build a large cross on his lawn...had about 20 gallons of gas with me and some matches before they stopped me. This stuff is no joke! Never again.

the cross was for the frame of the swing set you were gonna construct and the gas was to fuel the generator for construction
seems normal to me

My sister began the 'event' with a sense of humor, that rapidly became deep concern for my mental health.
The stuff is evil. It created a hunger of unknown proportions and rewarding that hunger created such intense happiness, of complete bliss and joy when eating. I'd wake up the next day and food would be missing, the kitchen a disaster, if it wasn't nailed down I'd eat it.
