Roseanne Barr claims she was fired by ABC because she voted for Donald Trump
SPOILER ALERT! Rosie, you were fired because no one asked for a reboot of your show and you brought negative attention to the network for your public racist antics.
Roseanne Barr announced earlier this month that, rather than risk a potentially “stressful” exchange with a member of the press, she intended on starting a YouTube channel to broadcast her views.
The 65-year-old has now delivered on that promise, releasing an “official statement” on being fired from the American sitcom Roseanne by the network ABC.
Barr claims that her racist tweet about Valerie Jarrett, the former Obama adviser, was not the reason she was fired. Instead, she blames her own outspoken support of Donald Trump, adding that she initially thought Jarrett was a white woman.
“When ABC called and asked me to explain my ‘egregious and unforgivable tweet,’ I told them I thought Valerie Jarrett was white,” the actor claims.
“I also said, ‘I am willing to go on The View, Jimmy Kimmel, or whatever other show you want me to go on and explain that to my audience’.
“Now, instead what happened was, about 40 minutes after that, my show was cancelled before even one advertiser pulled out and I was labelled a racist.
The actor also claims that she previously believed Valerie Jarrett ‘was white’Article via: Roseanne Barr claims she was fired by ABC because she voted for Donald Trump
School Bans Durags Because They Turn Black Boys Into Bald-Headed Gangbangers
Black males have long been perceived as thugs, hoodlums, and savages. Even black boys are seen as aggressive men from a young age (e.g. Tamir Rice). As a result, their culture, often intersected with poor (struggle) culture, has been demonized.
A Massachusetts charter school has partially reversed its ban on durags after students convinced administrators of the rule’s unfairness, successfully arguing that the head covering isn’t a gateway drug that leads to gang-banging or even worse—male pattern baldness.
According to the Daily Item, Kipp Academy Lynn Collegiate School had been issuing in-school suspensions to black male students who wear durags at the Lynn, Mass., high school. Although the dress code might seem reasonable, the charter school’s rationale for doing so raised the ire of some black students who don’t believe that durags stop information from entering their brain.
Administrators said durags were outlawed in an attempt to prevent black boys from going to jail or becoming gang members. That’s right, KIPP Lynn’s approach to preventing the unfair punishment and criminalization of black boys by the criminal justice system is to institute a rule that unfairly punishes and criminalizes black boys.

Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine hospitalized after he was pistol-whipped, kidnapped, robbed, TMZ reports
NEW YORK — Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine was taken to the hospital after he was kidnapped, pistol-whipped and robbed, TMZ reports.
Sources told TMZ the 22-year-old Brooklyn-born rapper, whose birth name is Daniel Hernandez, was driving home after working on a music video in Brooklyn when a car pulled up and blocked his driveway.
Three hooded gunmen got out the car and allegedly knocked the rapper unconscious and put him in the back seat of their car, threatening to kill him if he didn’t comply with their demands.
The gunmen returned to Hernandez’s home, with the rapper still in the car, and allegedly took about $750,000 worth of jewelry and between $15,000 and $20,000 in cash.
The gunman drove away with Hernandez still in the back car, sources tell TMZ, but he was able to jump out and run away. A stranger called 911 and he was taken to the hospital.
Earlier this month, he was held in Rikers Island’s contagious unit after he was arrested for allegedly choking a 16-year-old at a Texas mall.
He was later granted bail.
Hernandez also faces a misdemeanor assault charge after he was accused of assaulting an NYPD lieutenant.
Hernandez allegedly grabbed and squeezed an NYPD lieutenant’s hand, causing the lieutenant to “suffer substantial pain,” and the officer’s fingers to swell and become red, according to a criminal complaint provided by the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office in May.
The alleged incident occurred after the rapper was arrested for driving without a license.
Student embroiled in KKK blackface college party found dead
The Trump affect is empowering racist bigot white folks all over the world!
One of the university students that was involved in an online scandal after he and fellow students were pictured dressed in Nazi uniforms, KKK outfits and painted in blackface has died.
Andrew Stanham was found dead in the shower at his home in Wagga Wagga, Australia, on Wednesday.
The 22-year-old was one of the Charles Sturt University students that attended a “politically incorrect” party that caused widespread outrage after pictures of the event were shared over Instagram and Facebook.
Charles Sturt University has an enrollment of over 45,000 students and is located in Sydney, Australia.
Andrew’s family believes he suffered a seizure and fell while in the shower, with his father, Mark, blaming backlash over the images as a factor in his death, The Daily Telegraph reported.
“The jury is out on the cause of death, we suspect it was an epileptic seizure which resulted in a fall which led to a compromised airway,” Stanham said.
“There is no doubt that stress is a contributing factor.”
Stanham says his son was scared to walk down the street after the fierce criticism.
People were quick to condemn the photographs after they were shared online, with CSU suspending a number of the students involved.
One of the pictures that caused the most outrage showed a group of five people dressed up as the Ku Klux Klan surrounding a man painted in blackface and holding a bowl of cotton.
The picture was captioned: “Very very politically incorrect. Cotton prices are unreal thought so it’s a great time to be pickin’.”
Other photos showed students dressed up as Hitler, Nazis and as Jewish Holocaust prisoners.
Taz Kuhn, one of Andrew’s friends who was also suspended, told News.com.au the recent events had greatly affected members of the university.
