Some would possibly say that this white man has no thought how disrespectful and insensitive his “comedy” is to the Black group, but we might argue that he’s is aware of precisely how disrespectful and insensitive it’s and that’s why he’s doing it.
BOSSIP beforehand reported on the firestorm of controversy that Tony Hinchcliffe set off with his “joke” about George Floyd during Netflix’s The Roast of Kevin Hart, and the next response from Floyd’s household. However, they weren’t the only ones who had been appalled, disturbed, and flat-out pissed off about Hinchcliffe’s racist caucasity-audacity.
Lil’ Rel Howery didn’t chunk the smallest piece of his tongue during a almost three-minute Instagram video addressing the egregious attempt at humor that not only mocked Floyd’s notorious last phrases, but also implied that he was now in hell.
“What I’m aggravated by, and I’m just maintaining it 100 y’all…I don’t perceive, it’s one factor to roast the people that’s there. It’s one factor to roast the people who could also be in the viewers. Roasting somebody No. 1 that’s useless, No. 2 that’s not there, No. 3 that the implications of why you shouldn’t joke about thatTony Hinchcliffe’s joke about George Floyd didn’t make f***ing sense to me. It was no purpose to carry George Floyd into this. It was just disgusting,” said Lil’ Rel.
Social justice activist Tamika Mallory also took to Instagram to react to the “sh*ts and giggles” that Hart and others acquired at Floyd’s expense.
“There is literally NOTHING funny about how George Floyd was murdered. Allowing that white man or any other man to stand up there and disrespect Us, while laughing, is disgusting,” she said.
Actress and comic Franchesca Ramsey also had a strong response to Hinchcliffe’s materials via Threads.
“If your perspective as a comedian is ‘nothing is off limits,’ that means you accept that some jokes will offend people. I don’t understand getting angry or defensive bc people are reacting negatively to jokes that are clearly intended to be offensive/controversial,” she wrote.
Unconscious Flyness host Chad Deshawn clapped back at those who are defending Hinchcliffe, and saying that Black of us are being too delicate and don’t perceive roast-style comedy.
“I’ll say this about the Kevin Hart roast and be done: There’s a generation of Black kids that grew up in the 80’s and 90’s roasting each other, talking about mama’s, daddy’s, dead grandparents—you name it. You’re not going to tell us ‘yOu DoN’t KnOw WhAt A rOaSt Is…’WHAT??? We didn’t invent the stove, but we d— sure perfected that MF,” he said.
That’s a fact. If there’s one group of people who you possibly can’t blame for not understanding darkish and edgy comedy, it’s Black of us. The nerve!
