ABC Cancels 'Roseanne' After Racist Tweet

Reboot and reruns of 'Roseanne' have been cancelled by several different stations after Roseanne Barr tweeted 'muslim brotherhood and planet of the apes had a baby= vj' (see below).  She then has apologized for her tweet and now says the drug ambien was a fault for her tweet.  She claimed 'sleep tweeting'... Whatever the reason was, it's disheartening and many people lost their job because of it.
