ROSEANNE GOOFED: RACIST RANT AXES SHOW.

ICHEOKU says they did not waste any time axing the show which they regretted ever bringing back because it showed President Donald John Trump in good light and for once a Hollywood produced revamped show that is about conservative America grabbed instant success amongst Americans. And yes, ICHEOKU is emphatic that Roseanne did not produce the effect which the producers had anticipated and they have been looking for an excuse to axe it. Unfortunately the show's chief personality, Roseanne Barr, by her tweet, handed them the hatchet with which they hacked it to death, case closed.  

ICHEOKU says this will not be the first time a television personality or celebrity ever goofed on air or on any of the social media, including Twitter. Most times, their Network or platform will demand that they apologize and that will usually be the end of the matter. Sometimes too, the person could be suspended for a few weeks or asked to make atonement such as paying fine or undertaking a racially sensitive training or class. But not with Roseanne Barr, whose show, similarly named after her, was summarily shoved away; her show canceled; with her agents equally dropping her, and you wonder what is it exactly that she did or said that has not been done or said before to warrant such an instant severe action. The only plausible explanation is that ABC saw an opportunity to lean on to cancel a show which they would have since canceled but for fear of backlash. Now, they can conveniently use what was tweeted to finally achieve a set out objective. 

ICHEOKU blames Roseanne Barr for not being aware that she has a bulls-eye targeted on her back for being a President Donald John Trump's supporter amidst all the nastiness of the time, especially coming from the Hollywood elite. She goofed big time and it is regrettable; but it does not rise to the level of canceling a show without even considering other extenuating circumstances, including tens of actors and actresses as well as writers and other stage hands who earn their living working on the show. ICHEOKU is not holding brief for her or the show, only that the punishment does not fit the crime. It is excessive and it is exhibition of double standards with heavily anti conservative and anti President Donald John Trump bias. So what if Valerie Jarret was called names, which black person has not been called names before in a racist American society. Even the former President Barack Hussein Obama has been severally called a monkey, Curious George, to boot. 

But the underlying reason for the summarily cancellation is the person who was disparaged, a former Obama's Hench-woman.  Obama's insider connection to the Hollywood elite may have also played a role in the swift severe punishment of Roseanne Barr by canceling the show. It also did not go unnoticed that ABC Entertainment President Channing Dungey, who pulled the plug, is herself a black woman and you add one and one together, and you wonder if there is more to the cancellation than meets the eye. Here is a show depicting white American Mid-belt family struggles and which projects President Donald John Trump to the nation in good light, by a fervent supporter of the president. She made a racist comment on Twitter and you have the right combination of forces to finally have her axed. Comics say a lot of stuff all the time but why Roseanne's own statement was considered so opprobrious that it must be summarily canceled is the one million dollar question here, judging that Joy Beher has said some nasty things about many people, including Christians as well as other people too. 

What is so abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with ABC values that they decided to cancel the show immediately, one may ask? Why did ABC not ask for her to apologize, or suspend her for few shows or even deduct money from her pay as fine and donate the money to any activist group fighting for social causes like the NAACP for awareness programs. But no, the show must be killed off pronto because it is portraying President Donald John Trump in good light. Unfortunately, Disney's CEO Bob Iger, instead of intervening and overruling the Entertainment President, just concurred immediately that there was only one thing to do here and that was the right thing. How about the audience who are glued to Roseanne? How about the actors and actress and stage hands working on the show? They don't seem to matter as they are disposable American deplorables and you wonder if ABC has now set a precedent in stone or daring Roseanne fans as well as conservative Americans to change the channel. 

Muslim brotherhood plus Planet of the Apes did not have a baby named Valerie Jarret, so why literally make a mountain out of the little molehill. Roseanne has already apologized for making a bad joke; but it was not enough simply because ABC has been lying in wait, lurking and waiting for an opportunity to strike and it was handed to them on a platter. White men have been the butt of so many racist jokes; ditto First Lady Melania Trump as well as the president himself; Christians have not been spared either; neither have millions of hardworking men and women of America who earn their living with their two hands, including Walmart shoppers and NASCAR fans. Black people too have been joked about; but Muslim brotherhood was too sensitive for the Middle Eastern investors of Disney, the parent owner of ABC and the sledge hammer has to come out.

Anyway, Roseanne Barr will be just fine; she will survive and the country too will live; and life as we know it will go on. Happily, she has, in the manner of Evita Peron, don't cry for me Argentina, tweeted "Don't feel sorry for me Guys."  ICHEOKU says that's comforting and we will try not to; admitted the show will be missed and a lot of good people will be left without a job, however momentarily. So long Roseanne.
