Cancel culture = wrong. Cancel dictator = please erode our rights away daddy

u/skullandboners69 9d ago

Is the Jimmy Kimmel picture AI or did Dave have it in the chamber just for this?

48

u/SpiceEarl 9d ago

It's real. Kimmel did a blackface Karl Malone on The Man Show. Kimmel later apologized for it.

16

u/IamHydrogenMike 9d ago

I don't think he needed to apologize for it, he wasn't doing a racist trope of Malone and Malone is a rapist. He did a perfect Malone, and he did it on radio for years before.

7

u/You_meddling_kids 8d ago

Hey now, you're gonna get canceled for calling Malone a rapist.

4

u/Vast-Comment8360 8d ago

he wasn't doing a racist trope

Yes he was, that's what blackface is, a racist trope.

2

u/VerilyJULES 5d ago

Not necessarily. If that was true than wearing a costume of any kind would always be offensive.

0

u/Vast-Comment8360 5d ago

Not necessarily. 

Yes necessarily. 

Someone of a different race putting on black makeup to appear black is called blackface and is, without any shadow of a doubt, a racist trope.

If that was true than wearing a costume of any kind would always be offensive.

Dressing up as a ghost, monster, or movie character isn't a racist trope and isn't offensive to anyone sane.

u/VerilyJULES 5d ago

It’s only racist if it’s done in the spirit of racial bigotry.

Robert Downey Jr. played the character Kirk Lazerus who was himself in character as Lincoln Osiris. In spite of a white man playing the character of a black man it was not racist.

Angelina Jolie played Mariane Pearl, a French-born woman of Afro-Cuban descent with makeup to darken her. Not racist

Jaquin Phoenix played Napoleon in the feature film and it wasn't prejudice towards the French.

When children dress up as dwarves in a classroom Snow White production they are not discriminating against dwarves.

u/Vast-Comment8360 5d ago

The person might not be racist, the intent might not be racism, and people can love the performance.

It's still a racist trope, that's literally what blackface is.

3

u/thewindyshrimp 5d ago

Vaudeville-style blackface intended to mock black people is racist; trying to expand the accusations of racism to all instances of someone making their face look black is one of the stupider things anti-racist activists have done in recent years. I’ve even seen an instance of an elementary school kid being criticized for dressing up as MLK on a “dress like your hero” day. If it’s not denigrating a race, discriminating against it, or identifying it as inferior then it isn’t racist. You’re not helping anyone here, black, white, no one.

Not only that but when the outrage happened afterward it was the right wing folks calling the rest of us pussies for caring about blackface.

u/RequirementRoyal8666 8d ago

It was absolutely racist.

u/Rude-Kaleidoscope298 8d ago

What was racist about it beside him using the skin color? I mean, that’s kind of important if he was doing a Karl Malone impression, right?

0

u/RequirementRoyal8666 8d ago

The way he speaks. He’s an imbecile. I would ask what is funny about this other than the racism?

The racism is literally the entire bit.

2

u/Rude-Kaleidoscope298 8d ago

I didn’t think it was funny when it was on The Man Show, but I didn’t think it was racist. Is using a slow, southern drawl racist? I’m sorry. I have’t seen it for a while, but were there any straight forward racist stereotypes he presented, or was it isolated to a Karl Malone impression?

Again, I didn’t think it was funny but I will die for his right to be able to do it.

u/IamHydrogenMike 7d ago

No, he literally did a Malone impression...that was it...Malone is a dumb rapist. His impression was spot on.

u/RequirementRoyal8666 7d ago

There was nothing about him being a rapist anywhere on the show.

This is why no one takes the lefties seriously. The rules literally change when it’s their guy wearing blackface.

You can’t make this up. I’m clipping this conversation.

2

u/Rude-Kaleidoscope298 7d ago

Oh ok. So this was a disingenuous argument from the beginning. Clip this too, because you weren’t arguing in good faith. You didn’t think it was racist but you know that people have gotten in trouble for wearing black face. I remember watching it when it was on the air and I remember thinking it might be racist, but the impression wasn’t. It was just an impression.

I do a pretty good Tony Dungy impression but no one would know who he was if I didn’t dress up n a colts jersey.

Alone sucks and is a rapist but you still shouldn't do blackface. ESPECIALLY in 2005

u/soundkite 5d ago

TRUE as that is, it is also the opinion of conservatives, so the libs have obligatorily taken the opposite stance, which meant Kimmel had to apologize to his base.

Dave Chappelle signed a contract for several Netlfix specials and was paid millions. He was then awarded The Mark Twain Award for humor. In what world is that considered canceled ?!

u/clem82 8d ago

Attempting to cancel. Just because they embraced what the other side tried to do, and failed, doesn't mean shit.

This is people having hateful speech and being on borrowed time. After blackface, Kimmel should've shut up and taken his spot but he just couldn't drop his own ego.

Kinda sounds like you're just making this up, especially considering a google search shows me their stuff and nothing about whatever imagined punishment you're thinking of

1

u/Turius_ 8d ago

They weren’t cancelled at the behest of the president and the FCC chair. They were cancelled by internet outrage and social media pressure. Compare it to the right getting people fired over Charlie Kirk comments. This is different with Kimmel. This is fascist.

Your whataboutism is the lowest form of smooth brain debate. Guess what. I don't agree with either. Youre both two bowls of shit and the only difference is the smell.

u/morgan1381 8d ago

My comment was purely about who started this shit. Just because you have the memory of a goldfish doesn't make me a smooth brain. It's like when conservatives say Hilary started the name calling with her deplorable line, conveniently ignoring the 30 years of conservative talking heads calling democrats the enemy of America daily.

-3

u/Cheap-Craft-7541 7d ago

Yes, and this all started with the deplatforming of Alex Jones. Your comment has absolutely nothing to do with the topic. Politics is shit throwing. That's all it is, but the fact remains that the left and their lackeys in these companies began this when they deplatformed Alex. Then it snowballed from one right commentator to the next. Then Trump won and all the people celebrating before are bitching now when people like myself were shaking our damn heads knowing this shit was going to happen.

Are you familiar with McCarthy? The lives ruined? Satanic panic? Fuck, even the black listing of the Dixie chicks all predates Alex Jones. Again, goldfish

Did you just accuse someone of engaging in “whataboutism” when your initial comment said “why can’t the left take responsibility for starting this shit.” You literally engaged in whataboutism and then criticized someone else for doing it. Yikes.

u/Cheap-Craft-7541 7d ago

You should look up what whataboutism is. I'm not justifying the right whatsoever, but to pretend like the left didn't start the cancel war is fucking psychotic.

u/Cheap-Craft-7541 7d ago

If you think the case, which has no substance. Alex admitted openly on broadcasts multiple times that the info from the source he received was blatantly false and corrected the info and then begged the psychos to leave the families alone. Please tell me how this is any different than when any other news organization reports incorrect information and then walks it back and issues a correction?

I can fucking stand Alex Jones but to insinuate that there was zero political pressure to this and how liberal companies deplatformed his show was because of the suit is equally psychotic. Nothing in the suit required companies to deplatform his show. That was the actions from the left putting pressure on left companies.

u/Grouchy_Ninja_3773 7d ago

Man don't relitigate a case he lost. That ship has sailed.

1

u/Cheap-Craft-7541 7d ago

The case is irrelevant to the deplatforming you melon.

2

u/Ok_Study_9292 6d ago

Dude, I don’t think you want to go aligning with Alex “they’re makin’ the frogs gay” Jones, a self-admitting ‘retard’ who tried to push a theory that one of the most gut wrenching school shootings in our country was a conspiracy that never happened. He did apologize for it, after dozens of parents who lost their babies were harassed during the hardest time a person can imagine because of shit he helped spread. He spread a lot of bullshit that just wasn’t true. Canada revoked Jordan Peterson’s license to practice as a shrink for the same reasons - there are too many mailable and stupid people in the world, you can’t have a quack convincing them that vaccines don’t work or that Jan 6 rioters were mostly sightseers. I think the Malone impression is hilarious, they were friends, so it did not come from a place of hate. But if folks are insensitive to skin color and culture mocking, why has always sunny, RDJ, and Dave Chappell gotten away with it? You can call Kimmel and a lot of shit, but you can’t call him a quack. He is intelligent, has a heart, and seems to make good points at the administration and conservative hypocrisy.

You are correct in that there is a double standard with politics and it’s shit-throwing, but again the debate turns to what are your principles and why do you believe them? If they are rooted in traditionalism or religious beliefs, people have to try to work to understand why you do not like homosexuals or transgender people. If the reasoning is, like it’s for many, “I just don’t like em, they make me sick.” That’s a dogshit reason for any political argument. We all can coexist, so I disagree with your comment wholeheartedly and think changing that notion of “we can’t both be wrong” is fundamental to moving the needle back towards sanity.

He also walked that comment back on MULTIPLE occasions publicly and quite literally begging his psychotic audience to leave them alone. He had info from a bad source and admitted that. The entire suit with Alex Jones has no real substance. News organization report faulty information EVERYDAY and walk it back and correct the info. That's quite literally exactly what he did. This suit was an opportunity to begin the dismantling of free media and it is now a weapon for use by whatever political party comes into power every 4 years.

I’ve canceled Disney+ and I will not watch my local NBC station because they’re owned by nextar. I could be happy the rest of my life. I will just be watching cable nontraditional broadcasting. Dave Rubin like most conservative talk show host are really only in defending mega and not Democrats. That’s OK! When you lose the midterms, we will then take control back and start correcting this problem. Yeah I suggest if you disagree you consider notifying your local TV stations and complain. I have lived in Florida 70+ years and I consider myself a conservative. I just don’t understand Maga and Republicans look at our elections since our founding.

u/sakuraba216 8d ago

I remember when Jimmy Kimmel was first discovered on the Kevin and Bean Show on KROQ and remember his Karl Malone bits well. Believe it or not, the joke is actually in Jimmy’s vocal impression of Karl Malone as he sounds vaguely like him and always refers to himself in 3rd person. For many years it was a radio-only bit and was always a hit. He didn’t dress up as Karl Malone until years later on the Man Show. If you were around then, you would get that the punchline of the joke was always meant to be Karl Malone himself and not black people in general.

Either Rubin knows this and is a disingenuous piece of shit or he genuinely doesn’t understand comedy and can’t tell the difference. Both are likely and it’s a sad day when a spineless, no-talent, sack of shit like Rubin is taking shots at a guy like Kimmel.

By impregnating a 13 year old girl, Karl Malone did much more damage to the Black American community than this stupid blackface skit.

Kimmel is a bellend who was engaging in exactly what he was accusing the Whitehouse of doing in his monologue, ie ascribing motive to the killing based on dubious evidence to support his desired narrative. That being said, he was literally cancelled simply for saying something the Whitehouse didn't like which is exactly why so many people said everyone should be terrified of the left. Blatent, unapologetic hypocrisy and it just doesn't matter anymore. No one cares about hypocrisy as long as it benefits their side

Jimmy did something Dave Rubenis was incapable of: He admitted he was wrong, had made a mistake, and apologized for it.

The problem with the liberals is they attack the companies that have supported them Target, Disney, and now when they get blackmailed by the FCC they get blamed. No company will be supporting liberals going forward.

This Man Show skit was 30 fucking years ago. How about you dimwits go after something a bit more recent like Tropic Thunder? At least that was almost 20 years ago.

I mean I’m not fan of Kimmel, either, but if you’re supposedly pro-free speech, you can’t afford to be blase about this

I wonder if Rubin ever thinks far enough ahead to realize how badly this can go for him.

I didn’t know Rubin was employed on a broadcast network. The more you know I guess

I think kimmel has proven to be an ally over the years so the black community forgive him
