text: Please don't mention Roseanne to me. It's an attempt to normalize bigotry to white people who have these same white people as close friends and family members. We black folk been knew. Shows like this are why y'all have a hard time accepting and confronting.
  I️ see why folks are skeptical about watching due to her personal views but I️ am really loving the fact that I️t humanizes BOTH sides again. I️ will NEVER EVER be a trump supporter but it’s nice to be reminded that we can still relate on a HUMAN level🤷🏾‍♀️✊🏾 #Roseanne
  Ah, a Trump voter who has the compassion to protect their gender fluid grandson at school but also doesn't care about Trump's LGBTQ rhetoric is a shitty person and also a fantasy.
  If you let Twitter tell the tale, black folks who are happy with the show’s reboot thus far are in the minority (some even spent the evening tweeting against the show and Barr) but they do exist. Those who are into the show gave reasons varying from nostalgia to the importance of humanizing all sides of the political spectrum to arguing that the show actually displays a variety of beliefs. In reference to the latter point, it is true that the members of the Conner family are not all “proud deplorables” with one set of views. Roseanne not only has a black granddaughter (whom she seemingly adores) and a grandson exploring his sexuality (whom she defends from bullies in school in Episode 2) but also a sister, Jackie (Laurie Metcalf), who hates that Roseanne voted for Trump.
  It’s clear from her first scene that Jackie is supposed to be the character that represents liberal, white America. She enters the house wearing a “nasty woman” shirt and a pink pussy hat à la the Women's March. At the end of the first episode, she confesses she hasn’t spoken to Roseanne in a year since she bullied her into voting for Jill Stein because Roseanne made her feel stupid about supporting Hillary Clinton in 2016. While Jackie definitely gives the show some range, the debates that spark from her presence haven’t been given much depth, at least not in these first two episodes. When arguing their respective decisions, jabs about jobs, health care, Russia, and “a woman’s body being her own” come up, but Jackie never truly takes Roseanne to task for the policies that directly affect black people or other people of color, like immigration reform, police brutality, LGBT rights, or even just the racist remarks Trump supporters ignored and/or decided weren’t offensive enough in casting their vote for the current president. The latter are markedly alarming considering Roseanne's grandchildren on the show. Although, off-camera, Barr has gone on record saying she doesn't believe Trump is homophobic, so perhaps Roseanne Conner feels the same.
  While Barr may decide to continue to ignore these issues, the show cannot if it truly wants to shine a light on the dialogue in households like the Conners', or if it, like one Twitter user said, wants to display the tough conversations white people need to have with the “Roseanne” in their families. In other words, don’t just throw in a joke where Roseanne asks Jackie if she wants to take a knee during the prayer said over dinner; force Roseanne to explain why black people kneeling during the anthem means more to her than black people being unjustly killed by police.

  Having fleshed out the HP documentation for deploying the 3PAR simulator on VMware ESXi I decided to take the plunge and do the same for the VMware Workstation deployment.
