Washington Examiner:
America’s conscience apparently does not know how to be sorry or to apologize.
Late-night television host Jimmy Kimmel issued a statement Tuesday addressing reports that he participated in a comedy sketch in 1996 in which he used the N-word at least six times while imitating rapper Snoop Dogg.
But Kimmel’s statement is not actually an apology, even though it is presented as one.
“I have long been reluctant to address this, as I knew doing so would be celebrated as a victory by those who equate apologies with weakness and cheer for leaders who use prejudice to divide us,” it reads. “That delay was a mistake.”
Not that I am any great expert on apologies, but they should avoid sounding self-pitying. They should especially avoid language about one’s perceived enemies and their supposed reactions.
It continues, “There is nothing more important to me than your respect, and I apologize to those who are genuinely hurt or offended by the makeup I wore or the words I spoke.”
The reference there to “makeup” is, of course, about the times that Kimmel wore dark makeup, you know, blackface, to do impersonations of former NBA player Karl Malone, who is black. MORE HERE
SNIP: Don’t care he did it, don’t care if he’s sorry or not.
He can be eaten alive by his fellow leftists til there’s nothing left but a rib cage and a set of ugly eyebrows for all I care.
In other words, we who point out his hypocrisy are the racists. What an asshole.
If Shane’s not coming back, why should this Sonofabitch be allowed to come back? Oh, that’s right. Shane cleared out the Teton Valley of guns for the sodbusters. Jimmy never found anything about the Osmidgen/Obiden Administration to criticize in eight years, and nothing to praise about the Trump Administration in three years and six months. Jimmy’s coming back.
Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy…Who’s going to hand you the pickle jar? I wouldn’t count on Hillary to return the favor. You’re dead to her. Well, not literally. Yet.
Hypocrite –sentence to be meted by his Maker
Asshole –his audiences will be limited to similar miscreants
Your mama can weep for you Jimmy, because shame
His apology should be treated the same as Roseanne’s was
He only apologized because the new woke called him out
Governor Northam, Joy Behar, and all the other Democrats who have used blackface or said racist things or supported racist people should all be cancelled by the woke standards. That also includes Pelosi, Biden, and Hilary for their lauding of Robert Byrd
He should lose his job They all should but I won’t hold my breath
Kimmel and Colbert may as well masturbate each other on air to ‘entertain’ their discriminating audiences. The endless Trump bashing must bore even the braindead eventually.
They simply have two sets of standards, the ones they apply to themselves and the ones they apply to people they oppose. There is no fix – except to expose the truth to those who matter: the swing voters.
That N-Word, now there’s a word that packs a lot of black magic.
Trump better wipe the floor with crying Democrats in November. We know the Dems will lie, cheat, and steal every vote they can.
I would like to see a huge class action lawsuit against all of the media, such that they all resign in disgrace. If all these lying cooksoakers were fired, the price of everything we buy would go down. We pay their wages in everything we buy.
Follow that up with the corrupt healthcare system, drug companies,….
I know it’s unlikely, still like to see it.
Kimmel is lucky to have a show. Based on talent and moral conviction, he should be managing a corner tavern..
Nolte (on Breitbart) has an excellent article detailing how nearly ALL instances of famous people doing blackface are Democrats that loudly accuse Republicans of being racist.
– Nolte gives a roster of very specific examples.
“cheer for leaders who use prejudice to divide us”
Kimmel, you worthless hack, your mirror shows you every day an evil boyman who cheers for leaders who use prejudice to divide us. You, Kimmel, are everything selfish and hateful and perverted aiming to destroy America’s greatness.
FOAD, Kimmel, the sooner the better. Just FOAD, use your own hand if you must.
No one will weep when you start to rot.
Let’s start a petition to make Kimmel the first American-African, ie deport his worthless ass to Somalia.
I have a picture of me in black face with chicken bones around my neck for a Halloween party. Glad I have no political leanings. I’d be burnt toast.
He knows he can make a half-assed apology and all will be forgiven because he’s a lib.
I was watching some vintage Jay Leno tonite shows last night. Shows from the 90’s and early 2000’s. He poked fun at BOTH dems and Republicans. I assume he is liberal, but you sure couldn’t tell from his jokes. He was a class act, as was Carson before him. The current crop have no problem alienating 1/2 their audience.
yet another Leftist Non-Apology Apology
the list is endless
