Jimmy Kimmel has a history of performing racist “comedy” like appearing in blackface to mock a black basketball player and dropping N-bombs mocking a black rapper. He is a liberal and the liberal media has named him the “conscience of America” so this racism never hurt his career. There has been some renewed interest in Kimmel’s racist acts recently so the late night host has finally apologized, sort of. According to Kimmel, it’s really all of the rest of us who are racist for thinking his racism is racist. And with that, all is forgiven because he is a liberal.
First, here is Kimmel’s infamous The Man Show schetch in which he appears in full blackface and body make-up to mock NBA great Karl Malone, using his “black guy” voice:
Recently another example of Kimmel’s racism was rediscovered. This is from a “Christmas album” Kimmel made as part of a radio show he used to work on. This track is called “Christmastime in the LBC” which is Kimmel dropping N-bombs while mocking rapper Snoop Dogg:

Here’s some of the fun lyrics:
“There was danger, n*ggers in the manger.”
“Fat n*gger in a sleigh giving shit away.”
“I told that motherf*cker Santa, bring a pick for my afro.”
“Me and my n*ggers down in LBC, we’ll smoke that motherf*cking Christmas tree.”
Charming.
As this N-word fiasco came back to light, Kimmel abruptly went on vacation from his show, saying he needs 3 months off. Pressed for an explanation on his racism, he finally gave this half-assed apology:
“I have long been reluctant to address this, as I knew doing so would be celebrated as a victory by those who equate apologies with weakness and cheer for leaders who use prejudice to divide us. That delay was a mistake. There is nothing more important to me than your respect, and I apologize to those who were genuinely hurt or offended by the makeup I wore or the words I spoke,” said Kimmel.
As you can see, Kimmel claims he wanted to apologize, but he was worried Trump supporters might view him as being weak. Also please note that he’s not apologizing for blackface or N-words, but rather that people were offended by his racism. To read this another way he’s saying, “I’m sorry you were offended by something I don’t think is a big deal.” That’s not an apology.
It becomes less of an apology when he blames others for his own actions:
“I know that this will not be the last I hear of this and that it will be used again to try to quiet me. I love this country too much to allow that. I won’t be bullied into silence by those who feign outrage to advance their oppressive and genuinely racist agendas,” Kimmel said.
Wow, what a genuine piece of shit this guy is. Pointing out Kimmel’s racism, is an attempt by racists to silence him. Wouldn’t these mystery racists be happy that he’s also a racist and encourage him to do more? This is flawed logic.
Kimmel’s also an egomaniac because he says that he loves this country too much to allow his racist past get him fired like it has done for so many people who aren’t liberals. He really wants people to thank him for his service by dropping N-bombs and mocking black people in blackface. Apparently being a liberal racist makes him a hero.
NBC fired Megan Kelly for saying that when she was younger, kids sometimes wore blackface as characters to trick or treat, though she never admitted to doing it herself. ABC fired Roseanne for making a mildly-racist joke on Twitter, though she never used the N-word. Jimmy Kimmel has documented instances of blackface and using the N-word, but ABC hasn’t fired him. I wonder what the difference is.
