Dafuq? The first thought I had is “Out of Egypt, I called my son,” a scripture familiar to both Jews and Christians.

Thankfully for the nuts of those spewing this absurdity, I have yet to be present for it. I have seen many other racist/xenophobic things on the same spectrum. I recall this one time in college (small private Christian liberal arts school) my friend Amber and I were having a conversation in Spanish outside the library. (Amber is black, and I am white.) An acquaintence walked by and jeered “This is America! Speak English!” To which I replied “Why does this school offer Spanish as a major if you can’t speak it here?” Shut that bozo up.

I’ve never watched The View, but I see a lot of conservatives complaining about it on the internet, so I have to assume that there’s plenty of liberal commentary that the conservatives don’t like. I don’t know if it’s racist, but it seems as if the conservatives want the show canceled more for political reasons than racism reasons.

No off hand right now
But I know there been a few occasions over the years.
As for Roseanne they stopped the reruns too.

Well, we have a station around here that used to show old Roseanne re-runs all the time, as well as news.... Fox 66.

Funny that that is an actual real quote.
Roseanne is going to go back to standup, right? It's obvious. She has too may priors. Toxic for TV. TV career is mostly over. Standup is outside of the mainstream, a bit more edgy than TV. Standup you pretty much employ yourself, you can't be fired. What she did wasn't bad enough to make it very hard for her to get bookings at theatres.
Coming to a theatre in a Republican state near you by 2019. You heard it here first.

This is well worth a look. Someone with work experience at a centre where she received 911 calls says racist calls were common.
"I used to be a 911 dispatcher. I had to respond to racist calls every day."

There's also a Fox network that airs entertainment programming, local news, etc. - just like ABC, NBC, CBS, etc.
Just horrible ....
