I can agree with the sentiment, but fuck Jimmy Kimmel.

Why?

He went on national television in black face multiple times.

I gotta say if thats him. He looks like a black dude. Props for good makeup.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

Says a lot about a person when insulting an entire race for laughs is just meh.

Glad you googled it yourself tho.

What I saw is a person that made shitty jokes twenty years ago and apologized for it 5 years ago.

He hasn’t done it in literal decades and while his statement here is admirable, it isn’t going to make me start watching his show, I don’t see a reason to waste energy hating him.

He didn't feel the need to apologise for over 15 years? He only did it because he was getting called out for it.

I agree his take was fantastic, but just because I agree with him doesn't suddenly make him a good person or anything.

Also he has done many questionable things since then, people have connected him to the Epstein list, laughing at Megan Fox describing herself getting sexually harassed when she was 15, and his holiday album where he used the n-word multiple times whilst impersonating Snoop Dogg.

Dude is an asshole.

You put a lot of effort in to writing that and like I said, that energy would be better spent elsewhere.

It's 3 short sentences, is that a lot for you?

that energy would be better spent elsewhere.

Yes you're right, arguing with people who defend racists and is a waste of my time.

Have a nice day.

“We need to change people’s minds”

Dude changes his mind.

“Fuck that guy anyway”

I just dont understand why this upsets you. Blackface? Im sorry there's real life problems that need to be dealt with rather than a comedian being a dick.

I saw the bit when he did it twenty years ago. I'll agree that it was in poor taste, but he was specifically mocking a single person, karl malone, who is a terrible person.

He wasn't mocking an entire race of people. Black face is a different concept where it uses white actors to poorly portray generic black americans, not specific people. It's a different thing than what kimmel did in these sketches, though again, it was in poor taste.

your whataboutism is very unwarranted and very unwanted.
