I would agree that it is not a good thing when people are not treated equally. That is the sad part about America. People of color have been systematically degraded and denied opportunity by white people. It is great that you would like to see people treated equally in America, but that is not the case today. Racism is the oppression of a marginalized group in a society. The reason why Roseanne did something wrong is she attempted to marginalize someone in a marginalized group to the point of being an animal and not even human. If Valerie Jarrett where to turn around and say the exact same thing to Roseanne it would not be considered racism because Roseanne is not in a marginalized racial group. I hope this adds some clarity as to why action was taken against Roseanne.
