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?
Yes you're right, arguing with people who defend racists and is a waste of my time.
Have a nice day.
Also, I asked my girlfriend - the apology is enough for her. She also thought the joke was shitty.
When people talk about not letting perfect be the enemy of good, they're talking about you. Your behavior in this thread is a part of the problem.
lol
“We need to change people’s minds”
Dude changes his mind and uses his platform to spread messages of defiance in the face of facism.
“Fuck that guy anyway”
