But if it harms the reputation of the company eventually the behavior of that emolyee might endanger more jobs than if you had fired him. (Eg. if your business suffers because people boycott it because of your employees comment.)

Just to let you know she's not a first time offender, it's not the first time she compares a black woman, Susan Rice, Obama's national security adviser to an ape. Again, the cast members and crew don't deserve what happened to the show but Rosanne Barr is an irredeemable, racist scumbag.

I don't believe in one strike and your out, but if she's behaved like this before then that's a strike too far. Awful behaviour given it's not the first time.

She’s blaming it on sedatives. But Trump’s response is unbelievable www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-44294632US President Donald Trump on Wednesday broke his silence on Barr, who has been one of his most outspoken supporters. "Bob Iger of ABC called Valerie Jarrett to let her know that 'ABC does not tolerate comments like those' made by Roseanne Barr", Mr Trump tweeted on Wednesday, referring to the former White House senior adviser. "Gee, he never called President Donald J. Trump to apologize for the HORRIBLE statements made and said about me on ABC.

^^What the Ambien's maker said regarding her tweet blaming the sedative:
Even if she just said it a first time, what she did was inexcusable and indefensible.

^^What the Ambien's maker said regarding her tweet blaming the sedative: Hahahah that’s hilarious. Imagine getting some pills from the chemist and the back says “WARNING: May cause side effects such as fatigue, stomach pain, nausea and racism”. Great response from the company, just shows how absurd her pathetic excuse is.
Kinda reminds me of those Nazis in America who protested using tiki torches last year and the company who produced them released a statement condemning the protesters too.

She always uses the medication excuse. She blamed medication for her false sexual abuse claims against her parents as well.

She didn't murder or rape anyone Take all the moral high ground you want, at the end of the day she didn't murder or rape anyone. Didn't realize this was the bar we held ourselves to. Don't you mean the Barr? Ba-dum-tss!

I've slept on this issue now, and you know I'm just going to be honest. I don't feel it's the worst thing in the world. She's fired, the show is cancelled and they've also pulled all the re-runs of the old series. She -Roseanne Barr- seems to be a person with a lot of issues. I don't agree with what she said but people online live for this shit and next week they'll be tearing down someone else. I don't know, I'm Irish, I have a thicker skin perhaps. Black people in America deal with a lot of shit I'm just not sure this is one of those times. Something like this gets blown up online and American TV and creates a whole lot of anger and hate. America are losing their shit as always. Should people be offended? Yes. Should they want to murder her for what she said? Probably not. Shame on her for what she said though. It's a bit fucked up that a person with that much responsibility would tweet something like that. Her career is pretty much over for it.

It's a bit fucked up that a person with that much responsibility would tweet something like that. Her career is pretty much over for it. I mean of course there are worser things in life, but I don't think the general response has been that disproportionate either. I haven't seen anyone wanting to physically hurt her over what she said (which would be taking it too far, two wrongs don't make a right yada yada), and it's not like she's been imprisoned or attacked or anything for what she said either, she just lost her television show and received heavy public criticism. It's a pretty fair consequence for the revolting stuff she's publicly said over the years (if that's what she's willing to say publicly, I wonder what she's said in private).
Shame on her indeed. I haven't checked her Twitter since last night, but it was painfully obvious she hasn't comprehended what she did wrong.

I do find it racist, and I never liked that woman either. She was bitchy towards both black people and Muslims in that tweet. But after all, taxonomically, all humans are apes

But after all, taxonomically, all humans are apes Yes, us humans are primates but there's a history behind of the white media in Europe and USA since the early 20th century deliberately depicting black people as monkeys. Even though the slavery was abolished in the late 19th century, they weren't considered humans or people, just remember that vintage monkey toy that came out in the 50s called Jacko. That's why what this horrible woman did is grossly racist and inappropriate.

What I was trying to say was that I find it really stupid, trying to degrade someone by calling them apes. She must unaware that we all are great apes. Then again, she is a Trump supporter so I'm not sure if she believes in evolution.
