Tony Hinchcliffe at the Kevin Hart Netflix roast dropped that George Floyd line about the black community being proud and “George Floyd is looking up at us laughing so hard he can’t breathe.” Kevin Hart sat there cracking up.
Floyd’s family spokesman and advocates in Minneapolis lost it demanding Netflix pull the special and an apology. Replies torched Hart as a sellout for not shutting it down, with one high engagement quote tweet saying comedy died when millionaires clap for dead black men jokes.
Bros, it’s comedy not a TED Talk. Black folks roast each other daily but when others join in, it’s suddenly “anti-Black.” Relax and let people laugh abeg. This selective outrage is getting old.
