Fox will probably take up the show though[/quote]
And that assumes the other members of the cast would want to continue. I'm not so sure about that. [/quote]

Wanda Sykes already jumped ship after the apology.[/quote]

But Wanda is allowed to tweet

"White people don't steal wallets, they steal whole countries."

Isn't that racist?

Don't people call the President "a cracker wanna be Cheeto" on live TV?

Isn't that racist?

I can not stand Trump or Roseanne, but consequences have to run both ways. Kathy Griffin is already back doing stand-up and shows.  Could you imagine if she did the same when Obama was president?    There is a double standard here and racism will never end if BOTH sides are not held accountable.  [/quote]

Are you really suggesting that Kathy Griffin should never be allowed to work again? Since you believe in consistency, are you also suggesting that Roseanne should never again be employed for stand-up for a show?

Wanda Sykes' remark was not racist. Rather, it is an example of comedy being used to make a political point.

There is truly nothing sadder than white people struggling to demonstrate that they are oppressed.
