Nick Cannon is sticking up for Kevin Hart after the comedian stepped down from hosting the 2019 Academy Awards. Hart was announced as Oscars host on December 4, but soon afterward controversial jokes featuring LGBTQ slurs from Harts past began to resurface. After initially refusing to apologize, Hart eventually said he was sorry and confirmed he would not be hosting as to not be a distraction to the show at large. Cannon showed support for Hart on Twitter by re-posting old tweets from female comics Amy Schumer, Sarah Silverman, and Chelsea Handler that, similar to Hart, feature LGBTQ slurs and derogatory terms. Cannon noted hes a fan of Silvermans Wreck-It Ralph franchise despite the fact she once tweeted in 2010, I dont mean this in a hateful way but the new bachelorettes a ****.

Cannons re-posts were not designed to drag the female comics but to question why so much backlash was given to Hart when homophobic jokes have been made for some time by comics both male and female. Cannons overall point seems to be that comics should not have to be silent or politically correct in their jokes. You know Ive been saying fucked up shit since twitter started! Cannon replied to one fan. I dont play that politically correct bullshit! Fuck politics!! Only Truth!

Religion is still a fairly big part of most of black culture.

This, combined with black culture not having a stigma with being manly/macho, allows for homophobia to not be looked down upon.

I think this is changing little by little though.

Edit: Before anyone freaks out, I'm speaking about in the USA.

Imagine being such a sad miserable fuck that you would purposely attempt to find something a comedian said years ago to try and drag his name through the mud today. Additionally, imagine being such a sad fuck that you lend credence to people who do this by giving it attention and making comments about it like "That is so offensive! I hope he loses all his jobs!" and shit like that.

I can't stand this shit. What is our problem as a society? Why can't we just ignore what we don't want to hear and leave it alone? Why does everything have to be compressed?

She wasn't that fat. Just let herself go. Her first husband was 21 years older than her... then she goes for someone 10 yrs younger. He spent some of the best years of his life as a crazy old lady's trophy.

This.

We have a responsibility as a society to ignore all the backlash. Producers, advertisers, etc all do too.

Social commentary changes all the time and I dont think comments that were made close to 10 years ago are something we should be so quick to prosecute others for. Just acknowledge that the person being offensive has changed, just like our values have, and move on.

I don't think the example of a homophobic tweet from a white person in that article is very homophobic. For one, it starts with "I don't mean this in a hateful way," and I'm gonna assume that the bachelorette just had a short haircut.

God, this is so irrational I could write an essay. 8 years isn't a long time and he doesn't think it's something to apologize over. So there's just nothing you can say this isn't obviously "I'm rewriting reality to confirm the biases that are important to me."

It's better to just say, why is this OK in his culture? What are they afraid of losing if they stop hating gays? What's so wrong with life with a gay son? I do actually think it's possible to be a decent person even if you have a past filled with racism or bigotry but not if you can never admit it.
