Racist Tweet

So, Roseann Barr, a TV star and comedienne, had resurrected her TV show, about a blue collar family and their trials and tribulations.  On 5/29/2018, however, she made a racist tweet, which resulted in her being fired by ABC, owned by the Disney corporation Roseann Barr tweet and response.

I say yeah! to Disney.  Where that tweet came from who knows.  Ms. Barr claimed to be Ambien Tweeting but as the Ambien manufacturers so aptly noted, racism is not noted to be a side effect of Ambien.

Sometimes, comediennes  cross boundaries in political correctness and societal norms.  This was one of those times. Sometimes, an apology with an acknowledgement of wrong doing is acceptable,   This time, it was not.  

I applaud ABC and Disney.
