He is standing up for himself, he's just really short so it's hard to tell.

I always get a good chuckle out of it.

My all time fav will be the AL Frankin #metoo debacle. To see him get washed out of everything for a ridiculous picture and here say....things he had been supporting when it happened to everyone else...was just karma

He is trying to stand tall.

Homophobic?

Eddie Murphy might want to prepare if they start listening to some of his old standup.

Back in the day. George Carlin and Richard prior were something. The comedy today is a joke compared to yesteryear. I used to like Trevor Noah, but now I'm finding increasingly boring to his political identity jokes. He is still funny but it gets old when he jokes on trump.

By Thursday morning, Hart's Oscar-hosting gig was clearly in jeopardy, though it wasn't necessarily gone for good: A sincere apology—coupled with evidence that he'd matured and learned since those older jokes—possibly could have helped him.

But then, just as things were getting bad, Hart did something truly stupid: He decided to go back online.

In an Instagram post from that morning, Hart appeared bratty, defensive, and completely dismissive of the growing pushback (he also seemed kind of drowsy, possibly because he filmed it from a bed). "Our world is becoming beyond crazy," Hart complained, "and I'm not gonna let the craziness frustrate me … if you don't believe people change, grow, evolve as they get older, [then] I don't know what to tell you."
I understand where he’s coming from. He’s a comedian. They say deliberately provocative things. He said those jokes when those jokes were commonplace. Now he’s going to lose a gig over being a comedian.

There is no forgiveness anymore for past statements, no matter how much they’ve changed.

I am glad it’s happening to more than just conservatives, because maybe people will finally see how ridiculous it is. The only one I don’t feel sorry for is Marc Lamont Hill, because he basically endorsed terrorism and said what Palestinians say when they mean to drive Jews into the sea. He should not get a pass for that.

Well, I had hopes it wouldn’t be quite as boring with Kevin Hart hosting. He’s actually funny.

Seriously reminds me of the old busybody ladies in my parents church when I was a young kid.

They're as bad as the bible thumpers and just as self-righteous.
The sad thing is there are apparently people who do nothing but mine people’s past statements for something offensive. It doesn’t matter if it was commonplace at the time. People have no way to defend themselves for something they may have said ten or twenty years ago when the prevailing opinion was different than it is today. How can you make up for that? It’s impossible.

I hope ABC ratings tank so hard for this. Did they learn nothing with Roseanne Barr?

He’s pretty well known. Just because you don’t know him doesn’t mean he’s not famous.

Nope. Abc did not learn. Still afraid and support the sjw mob.
