‘Roseanne’ Slammed on Twitter for ‘Reductive, Belittling’ ‘They’re Just Like Us’ Joke (racist, supporters)

[camaro69]

Gotta love the irony about this.

Rosanne is racist, but the show titles aren't.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


After a joke on “Roseanne” Tuesday night took aim at fellow ABC shows “Black-ish” and “Fresh Off the Boat,” some took to Twitter to in response.

In the episode, Roseanne Barr and John Goodman’s characters fall asleep on the couch, with Roseanne saying “we slept from ‘Wheel’ [of Fortune] to [Jimmy] ‘Kimmel.'” Goodman’s Dan responded that they “missed all the shows about black and Asian families,” to which Roseanne retorted “they’re just like us. There, now you’re all caught up.”

That is about three doses of hilarity.
One, they said it.
Two, it's true.
Three, liberal heads exploded.

Judging by the humorless response above... I'd say you get the medal today.

That joke was horrible. Not funny and not sure of the point of it.

I have watched the older show now and again when nothing else was on other channels that interested me. Roseanne's voice is just way too much to for me to take. But I cannot justify watching a show that brings a character back from the dead. I like Goodman but c'mon.
