I guess you have realised by now that I am rarely supportive of mass collective shaming of folks who have made a mistake. I like a broad conversational highway which allows folks to make mistakes, redeem themselves and gather wisdom as they proceed. I would like to see Roseanne have that opportunity.

Which is different from a corrupt conman like Trump who does things without shame.

One wants a scarlet letter. The other, not so much.

I agree it sounded racist. Racism is one of many ways to be rude and unsympathetic. But comics always tread a hard line between humour and offence and occasionally they cross the line.

It's admitting the mistake and apologising that wants recognition, in my view. If there's no welcome for forgiveness, one might as well live in the Middle East.

I know she supports Trump, but to me that's not the issue in this scenario.
