The real joke is that the Trump campaign is tripping over itself now to disavow this message. Meanwhile it's come to light that this "comedian" was going to drop a c-bomb in his material in reference to Kamala, but the Trump campaign told him to remove it, and he complied.

Meaning they vetted the material and were a-fuckin'-ok with garbage island, only to later lie more and try to backpedal.

They're not even good at lying, kids.

Edit: spelling

I'm still baffled by the logic of having a roaster/crowd work guy doing a set at a convention. Like... he was gonna insult people and start shit. It's literally his job.

He's not my cup of tea, but he's been around and successful for a while now. He's not an unknown entity who they could claim acted unpredictable.

Eminem spoke at a Harris rally. But he's an adult who cares about people and expects as much from his government.

Did he throw shade at European-Americans?

I didn't watch because it's a republican political rally but he usually talks shit about other white people in the form of self deprecating humor in the shorts that get passed through my algorithm, so ... maybe? It doesn't help matters much though if he did, and it wouldn't be on the same level as calling the whole island trash.

Usually racial comedy can be fun when it takes advantage of knowledge of the in crowd. Like you couldn't really know to make fun of something unless you yourself were a fan of it. Like there are fun ways to joke around about cultures you love. He wasn't doing that.

Some people find that word to be too misogynistic to use as an epithet. I'm not quite sure where I stand on that myself, but I tend to avoid it overall.

In the context of the US, it most certainly is. Other places, maybe not so much.

I'm not British so I cannot use it in the proper manner. Literally the only demographic that can get away with it being an 8/10 on the Carlin index of offense terminology. If you aren't British it's pretty much a 10.

Last I saw they just claim it's just comedy and the left wing has no sense of humor

They'd absolutely hate shows like Brooklyn 99 because there aren't really any racist jokes, and it's too "woke" for them
