More importantly, though, Kevin Hart would like to remind you that none of this is his business (even if, in a strictly financial sense, it absolutely was his business).

    The amount of pearl clutching on Lemmy is WILD. Fucked up jokes can still be funny

          One was a public provocateur deliberately farming outrage for money and fame, who was murdered by a lone psycho.

          One was an private citizen strangled by a cop for nine minutes while onlookers begged for his life, and became the focal point for a national civil rights movement.

          But yeah, same-same. 🙄

              People keep acting like the article is about to take the ability to be tasteless away from them.

              That is not what the article is about.

              The article is about whether or not Kevin Hart is a hypocrite and a coward.

              After George Floyd was murdered by an off-duty cop, Kevin Hart reached out to his family, offering sympathy and support, even attending his funeral.

              And then he produces his own roast, hires an openly racist white comedian to tell a racist joke mocking George Floyd.

              That looks like hypocrisy.

              And after George Floyd’s family called out Hart for turning his back on them, he acted so shocked, like it was nothing to do with him, and petulantly asked why they were mad at him.

              That looks like cowardice.

              He he hired the clowns, he put up the tent, and when confronted by the slightest hint of criticism from people he supposedly cared about, he proceeded to piss his pants and tell everyone that it wasn’t his circus.

              That’s what this story is about, not some pearl clutching attempt to make you be nice.

              And if you think that I’M a prude? You’ve got the wrong cunt, precious. 🤣

                Anyone else loathe how this clown manages to find AI-coded buzzwords constantly?

                This isn’t about x, it’s about y Comedian did joke, so scared and a coward.

                Not only X and Y. But they did X and Y, and then X and Y

                I fucking hate how language has become castrated by AI, and how the NPC meme has evolved :(

                  This is just how I write man, especially when responding to tantrum-throwing children who have no reading comprehension. And since your comment focuses entirely on my style without addressing my argument, I’m just going to assume that you are completely unable to understand or counter it.

                    basically your argument is you should tell offensive shock humor jokes at a funeral and give sympathy and love at a roast? it doesnt really make sense does it? funeral is not the place to tell dark humor jokes, like DUH. a roast is a place to tell those
