'Roseanne' Canceled By ABC After Racist Tweets
As I called my manager to quit working on Roseanne, I found out the show got cancelled. I feel so empowered by @iamwandasykes , Channing Dungey and those at ABC standing up against abuse of power and lack of values. Bullies do not win. Ever.

For the record, this is Channing Dungey. Sitting on top of your world like a Queen in full judgement of your garbage and taking it out. #Roseanne pic.twitter.com/GxEP2B61uq

I'm glad Roseanne is canceled.
The backlash to its cancellation is going to be a deafening nightmare.
Nothing good has come of this entire thing.

The country is red.
The wave is blue.
Bill Cosby is gone.
And Roseanne is too.#PoemToWelcomeSummer— Jim Heath (@JimHeathTV) May 29, 2018
As for Trump: Is Roseanne useful to him anymore? That, not pique, is likely to drive whether he hugs the issue. I suspect she's not useful and he won't say anything.

Ted! You’re back. Call Roseanne! You guys have plenty of free time now. Maybe you can get together, put on your robes, and binge watch all the Apes movies. Then after some take-out you can rewatch Birth of A Nation. By the way, did the stains come out you moronic Neanderthal? https://t.co/I7c9b6lZhZ

Thank you Channing. Trump, however, will be upset. He want his racist supporters happy. But he will be pleased at another level — he does not like competition, and Roseanne can give him a run at being nasty. Maybe he’ll appoint Roseanne White House Director of Communications! https://t.co/WB5T3yMGOE
