Wow, this was a rapidly advancing story - seems like less than 12 hours from racist tweet to show cancellation.
I believe Rosanne is mentally ill - that is not based on her racist comments, and may in many respects be unrelated to her racist comments. It is just true I think (I don’t mean that in my professional judgement she is mentally ill, but that I think she has been judged mentally ill by examining professionals). This is relevant not as an excuse for her comments, but as the reason why she probably is not stable enough to be in the high powered glare of a top rated broadcast TV show. As I have noted here previously, it is a shame because she really is a talented comic, and has a much-needed voice in many respects. I was hoping she would be well enough to do the White House Corrospondent’s Gig next year (I suppose she still might, though I hope her friends help her make some good decisions for herself). I don’t care about the show, and the Trump Resistance will be played out in more important arenas than this. I do care about Roseanne Barr as a person, and this is the kind of thing that could knock her over the edge.
