Sounds like a decent apology. He's owning it. Not up to me to forgive, though.

Oh no, someone put the proper amount of effort to change their skintone and didn't purposely make a mockery out of an entire race by performing a caricature using horrible stereotypes. We should inherently equate that to the minstrel shows of the past and ignore all possible context.

Don't forget James "Jimmy" Corden, whose face is offensive regardless of what's on it.

Gonna have to explain that. "Karen" implies abusing the rules out of a sense of entitlement.

I mean Kimmel's was pretty bad, far worse that Fallon's.

Fallon just did Chris Rock throwaways. I mean technically Fallon did make jokes at the expense of black people under the guise of Chris Rock. It's like putting on blackface to say the n-word. >_>

Late night hosts are only part comedian. They're like comedians owned by their network and fans. He's to do what's expected, instead of what pushes the limits. Too easy to get cancelled.

It became this thing that people become outraged over every once in awhile but nothing ever came of it. So it's best to ignore it

This is a fuck up

If he ignored it would be gone in 2 weeks

Now the people who are "outraged" will cling to this because the apology was "incorrect" or "insincere" and be more outraged

The chick who recently tried to cancel RDJ over Topic Thunder got royally owned and had to apologise to get people to stop harassing her.

I'm more worried about David Mitchell.

That was 14 years ago so in 6 years he's fucking screwed.

I don't really understand why people come out and apologize for this kind of thing on social media. It feels so pointless to do it at the behest of an angry internet mob that consists mostly of white people who want to be angry for black people.

Black people really don't seem to care about this specific issue, they seem to be a lot more focused on not having law enforcement executing them with no penalties.
