Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's Memo to Roseanne Barr: The Bad-Taste Joke Defense Doesn't Work

This is not in defense of Roseanne. There isn’t one. We give artists a lot of leeway when it comes to what some might deem offensive speech because that’s the point of free speech. She continues to have the right to say whatever she wants. But Disney and ABC are not obligated to suffer the consequences of popular outrage over her speech or offer tacit support of her dimwitted opinions by continuing to employ her.
...
This isn’t liberals curtailing free speech, it’s Americans rejecting hate speech.

Then why would it be called "Roseanne"?.

It is called Connors. Not Rossane.

So they kill her off. I just hope they don't do a whole "morning" thing for her because it is good she is gone.

She said I thought the bitch was white.

“Oh ya, they killed her,” Barr said on a YouTube Show over the weekend “They have her die of an opioid overdose.”“I wanted to show [opioid struggle] in the show,” she said.

“But I was never going to have Roseanne die of an opioid overdose. It’s so cynical and horrible. She should have died as a hero or not at all … It wasn’t enough to [fire me], they had to so cruelly insult the people who loved that family and that show.”
