I honestly thought this was a bad joke or sarcasm. The fact that it’s not is absolutely nuts.
There the real opportunity to have good communities here if everyone didn’t take everything so god damn seriously.
Lighten up, it’s funny.
I enjoy dark humor. I feel humor that could be taken as racist to be funny, if it’s actually funny. I make jokes about my dead Mom to cope. When I’m insulted I tend to laugh at the absurdity. Slapstick can be fun. Fart joke? Heck yeah.
I’m not laughing.
Not really. I don’t see how it’s a good joke. Could it be? Sure. Maybe if Chapelle said it and had the right inflection. But it’s pretty weak from a bargain store Fabio wannabe.
ah, remember when Chapelle stuck to jokes about a culture he’s actually a part of?
How is it funny? The premise of the joke is she’s not black. Where’s the humor?
This is why you can’t find things funny.
It’s funny because it’s absurd. That’s a staple of comedy since forever.
Ok, I’ll bite. What’s the premise?
It’s funny because Hercules is a fucking idiot
Man, and to think there was a point in my life where I watched that show and thought he was great. What a pile of shit. I hope he slips and falls on a nice warm pile of dogshit.
I have a dollar here that says Sorbo tries his own run for president sooner or later, trying for the same Trump base.
This cant be real, there is no way one man can be this stupid.
Unfortunately (though hilariously) it’s real.
Ugh
you guys have NO FUCKING IDEA, now many times people have asked me to do this during voice chat in a game because I lack a “Blaccent” when I talk.
He looks and acts like the guy that would call black people the N-word with hard R.
Ok, so who is this weird nobody anyway?
Millennials know him from the Hercules TV show. He’s irrelevant tbh.
Millennials of culture will also remember him from the TV show Andromeda
He’s mainly known for this gif:
Fun fact: the word disappointed was a stage direction for him, he took it as a line which led to this great scene. He’s a great actor if you couldn’t tell
That guy is a perpetual Not the Onion post
Slorpo you say it and see how people react… What’s right wingers obsession with slurs anyways?
Negatively labeling outsiders is key to the overall program and being offensive is a sport since it evokes an emotional reaction. Slurs cover those bases.
Hey white people…sit this one out.
He’s all yours. Don’t be gentle.
Can we sit it out AFTER we can him a piece of shit? I think that’s important for anybody who wants to be an ally to be heard too.
We don’t want to be like all those “good” cops and “good” republicans that everybody is waiting to hear speak up.
yea, this isn’t a typical “white” view
If only.
Well, typical, no, literally only weird white people saying it, yes.
That’s an enormous demographic
Way less than half though. We just mostly live in blue cities, so our votes count for less.
No it is not wtf
view “white” typical a isn’t this ,yea?
More backwards plz
zlp sdrawkcab eroM
Thanks, finally some sense
On behalf of all the white people who aren’t him: gladly
Do what I always do? Can do!
Hey black people… that’s it really, just saying hello.
Hey black people can I have your grandmother’s recipe for mac and cheese
maybe. Gotta say the magic word
Username checks out
OMG HAII!!
I’m perfectly fine waiting for the inevitable comment by the wonderful Lucy Lawless calling out the little “Peanut”.
But I wanna call him stupid names for being a dipshit.
Impressing that somehow this makes sense in his head.
It’s dumb but would probably be a pretty funny joke if somebody like Dave Chappelle said it. But hair boy hercules might not have been joking
The brain damage probably helps.
Not really, he has a stereotype of what a Black person acts like, that includes saying the n word.
He can’t comprehend there are some people who are both Black and find the word distasteful. So to him if a Black person won’t say it, then they’re not Black.
It’s perfectly logical when looking at it from a racists viewpoint. And if you haven’t noticed there’s a lot of them these days, it’s important to understand how they think, so you can do risk management on what they’re trying to do.
Do t just write them off as “evil” and illogical because that makes it harder to fight them. Their logic might not be based on facts or critical thinking but there is a type of logic there. Flawed logic is still logic.
No, this is just agitation. The logic is that posting that on twitter will occupy and upset liberals. Don’t give trolls the benefit of sincerity
Edit: reading that again the last sentence sounds wrong but I think it gets the point across
Your explanation gave me brain damage. It all makes sense now
Oh wow, i was going to write a whole speech about how “blacks are animals” is not how modern racism works. It can’t be That is a 17th century view on racism and today’s racism is much more about politics, fear, insecurity and sometimes just social ignorance. Surely a public and succesful person like Kevin Sorbo would not be so brain damaged as to think black people are not human.
Imagine my surprise when I find he literally called black people animals…

It’s not about if they want to say it or not it is about society accepting if they can say it or not. When a non-black person sings a rap song, they are supposed to omit the n-word. If you are black, you’re free to say it when desired.
This is basically saying. What if Karmala is raping and gets to an n-word. Is she free to say it?
She is not “African-American” which the word refers to
African-Americans accepting her into the “black” group based on skin color is essentially reverse racism. “She looks like us so she can be one of us”
This is coming from a white Mexifinn-American. I don’t get accepted as being Mexican because I don’t have the skin color, and I don’t get accepted as Finnish because I have a Hispanic last name. I don’t care because I enjoy being treated as an American. I get treated like I’m “white” though.
Sad reality is Harris would get treated as “black”
I don’t have a n-word card to give so I can’t make the call
What if Karmala is raping and gets to an n-word
Although I laughed at the idea of Kamala Harris casually assaulting people, then drawing the line at black people, it’s “Rapping” not “raping”.
African-Americans accepting her into the “black” group based on skin color is essentially reverse racism. “She looks like us so she can be one of us”
How about she’s black because it’s not only how she identifies and her skin color, but also because it’s the US and the average bigot on the street (or on Lemmy) isn’t going to go, “Hey I’ll take it easy on this one because I know her her blackness comes from Jamaica.”
No one needs to “accept” that I’m white, and I don’t give a fuck whether they do. I very much doubt that Kamala give a shit who “accepts” her as black, and I’m very sure she doesn’t care what a bunch of bigoted republicans think about the matter.
You know how I know when someone’s comment about race is going to hold no value whatsoever? When they think “reverse racism” has meaning of any kind.
When a non-black person sings a rap song, they are supposed to omit the n-word.
Eh
It’s not as cut and dry as it used to be.
Even a decade ago, Ice Cube made eye contact with me at a concert and said it’s weird if we dont sing it when singing along. Like, he said it to the whole audience I’m just tall as fuck, was standing up front, and at peak tan look like a sheet of printer paper.
It stopped being a clear cut (black and white if you would) issue a long time ago.
I mean, if you’re around Black people who use it frequently, eventually you’re going to say it. You might feel bad the first time, there might be a discussion, but that’s just how language works.
Picking up words/phrases/idioms isn’t something that happens consciously. Especially when the people around you use it to refer to you too. Not like there’s a milestone you hit and you get permission. But if people say it referring to you just like anyone else that’s using it, eventually you’re gonna say it.
It all depends on how someone says it, and how they handle themselves.
Like if you half ass every word and then scream the n word, people aren’t gonna be happy. Bouncing your head and it comes out like every other word?
I’d be real surprised if anyone mentioned it
Half a decade ago, Kendrick Lemar kicked a white woman off stage for saying it.
She apparently had the rap down and didn’t think about it.
I wouldn’t say it in public, in a quote or song. The amount of people that would get angry at you is more than the people that would stand up for you.

That shouldn’t be the reason you wouldn’t say it, but I suppose it’s the best we’re going to get.
Then dont?
You’re the one insisting it’s a binary thing where it’s always ok or never ok and the answer is the same for everyone.
I’m not trying to make you do anything.
DISAPPOINTED!
Now by him? Did you not watch his God’s Not Dead movie? He plays an asshole atheist professor that makes his students write papers on why God is dead. Very funny, but it tries to be serious.
My disappointment stems from the fact that this joke has become associated with Hercules when it originated with A Fish Called Wanda, a much better piece of entertainment.
its because A Fish Called Wanda is full of great bits. This guy has one and only one great moment. So its remembered as such.
*“dont call me stupid” is what I always remember getting me to laugh the most from AFCW
This man is just a fountain of bad takes.
What the fuck
