HOLY CRAP! The Root writer decries Roseanne's racism, but look what she said about Ben Carson (it's BAD)

The Root’s Monique Judge lent her voice to the chorus of those calling on ABC to cancel “Roseanne” and then applauding the network when they did so. Over the course of several hours today, Judge retweeted these takes on the controversy:

Twitter put a couch icon next to Roseanne’s name as if she’s trending because she’s a sports event or a real housewives finale and not for completely unchecked racism pic.twitter.com/xu1Oz690iK

In the pre-Trump era, ABC would have taken action against @therealroseanne by breakfast. The fact that they haven’t shows how much Trump’s election has mainstreamed repugnant racist views.

I get that actors need checks. I do. But those interviews were full of uncomfortable people who didn't believe in Roseanne but were trying to act like it was going to be okay.

This actually was very predictable.

The world would be a better place if the consequences for using racial slurs/stereotypes were this high when directed at any Black person and not just someone like Valarie Jarrett. https://t.co/1jVioqo6Xn

Judge was also among the many who called out “Roseanne” costar Sara Gilbert for her statement on the show’s cancellation:

Oh, you are just now finding her statements offensive? I'm disappointed in YOU. https://t.co/v7CNG39qg8

— Monique Judge (@thejournalista) May 29, 2018

She's offended now because folks are walking from the show and ratings are getting lower than Roseanne's rotten personality, so it's time to play that "I don't stand with her" card to try and get that sweet sweet sympathy. But we see you, Sara. Ain't nobody fooled.

Exactly

You know who else is just “offended now” by blatant racism? Monique Judge. Take a look at what she tweeted about Ben Carson last year:

Ben Carson is a monkey of the porch variety. https://t.co/eTwYkfvgjv

Now, we’re not saying that’s racist … but that’s pretty damn racist.

But it’s OK when she does it, or something.

Where is the outrage??.. Why is this ok and what Roseanne did not??.. Please someone who thinks this is ok please explain why?

She has a job or naw? #Roseanne https://t.co/rDsybW8HWM

Yep, she does. And she wants all the “Roseanne stans and MAGA people” to stop calling her out, thank you very much.

Or maybe your mentions are a dumpster fire because you’re a flaming hypocrite.

Why would you say that about Ben Carson? I get you don’t agree with him politically, but there’s no need to say that about him. He’s a black man that’s accomplished enough not to warrant such abuse & hate despite your disagreement ma’am ?
