iin depressed & fighting with adult children over roseanne being canceled?

For the most part I don't have much of an opinion about the Rosanne thing one way or the other. I know that is a terribly boring response, but I didn't really watch her show. My parents are pretty big Trump fans, and they're very disappointed in her behavior, because they enjoyed her show and feel like she really let down the fans, and especially let down all the other members of the cast and crew of her show. My dad used to work as a cameraman for a PBS affiliate so his main beef really is for the cast and crew, and I agree with him there.

I think that Rosanne is a bit of a loose cannon in general, and she's the type of person to do and say all sorts of things to deliberately piss people off, and she has a history of this throughout her career. I think she craves a certain amount of negative attention, because she had a bad childhood.

I do think that, because of our terrible history with slavery and later Jim Crow laws, just to scratch the surface, calling a person of color a monkey or ape or whatever will always be deemed as racist. I would also like to say there are plenty of white people who look like monkeys and or apes. For instance, George W. Bush looks like a chimpanzee, and the Olson twins look like a couple of little monkeys themselves. Also there are plenty of so called white European people walking around with obvious Neanderthal genes, I'm not saying this to be rude or nasty, but simply because it's true. Whether we like it or not all human beings are technically primates. If one person points their finger at another, and says the other is an ape the pointer still has three fingers pointing back at themself.

Regardless, as I have said before I'm not a big fan of calling other people animals in general, because it denigrates whatever animal is used as the insult. I used to know this guy who was kind of a condescending jerk, but he had some of the best weed in Las Vegas, and for some reason he would refer to me as Koko, as in Koko the Gorilla. I know I don't look like Koko the Gorilla, but I have probably acted a little like her if I'm feeling pretty good. Honestly, if I could enjoy some more of that jerk's chronic, and then choose whether to chill out with him or Koko I would love meet her. I've always loved her, and we both love cats!

Anyway, whatever the topic is it usually just ends up going back to my love of animals, because that's such a big part of who I am inside! I have never heard of the woman Rosanne was insulting, but now that Rosanne has stupidly managed to destroy the comeback of her show, and disappoint millions one way or the other that woman has gotten so much publicity that she's practically a household name. All the publicity will probably give her career a boost.

At the end of the day I would still rather sit down to a lovely tea party with Koko and our cats than deal with any of these people.

P.S. I think it would be best for ya'll to just agree to disagree, than to waste time talking about all of this bullshit. Talk about something worthwhile like how much better dogs and cats are than the average human, or maybe try to find out and discuss what Koko is up to these days. 🙂
