He never said he didn't talk about politics because it can damage your career he said he's just not a political comedian. It takes a certain talent to do that and many who try that route fail and end up making themselves look like idiots when they try to touch on deeper issues, Steve Harvey, Katt Williams, Eddie Griffin at times all fall or have fell into that before. That brand of comedy ain't for everyone.
As far as the black jokes it's interesting the trigger seems to be the dark skin comment. People keep saying he got dark skin family members when really that shit should offend all black folks dark or light. This is why some won't take the outrage seriously because the same people mad about this will make a or repost a light skin niggas is soft, emotional, etc and see nothing wrong with it and laugh along

Ok, but here's my point: when he says its too dangerous he's refering to this current gay agenda climate.
So before this gay agenda took ovr the last few years, did he do gay jokes before??
If not, WHATS IN IT FOR HIM to start making gay jokes now? When clearly and obviously there is far more risk than reward.

It's part of the real issue though. I mean Katt Williams got on playing a glorified pimp gimmick. That image aint exactly the best either and neither was the content of some of his jokes. He not the person you want to use because he can be picked apart worse than Kevin Hart

Yeah that should be the topic of discussion. This n(gga basically admitted to being scared to crack jokes on a certain group with a strong lobby and influence in Hollywood and is not scared to crack jokes on his own group because 'we' lack a strong lobby and unity. I like Kevin Hart but he basically admitted to having no integrity...

Naaah ngga dont try the 'caping' copout, just get this work. It aint even about Kevin Hart moreso the blatantly obvious elephant in the room from my perspective: there's a difference between a member of a group makin fun of his own group vs someone not from the group making fun.
Me makin a wheelchair joke (in this day n age) would be taken differently than a dude in a wheelchair makin a wheelchair joke.
Its the same lack of context that i see white people use when they say " black people use the n word why cant we" and quite frankly its disgusting. Im just shocked and surprised to see it from "us".

but...you act like he doesn't talk about the differences in every other group of people. But choosing not to make jokes about gay people because "its dangerous" just shows he lacks integrity. He didnt say.anything about not wanting to make jokes bruh....
Let his words speak for him. And he is not just jesting at the expense of black people mind you. He is making jokes that can be a sore spot for some because colorism is real and still rampan in the black community. So to say what he said and how strongly people feel about he light skinned vs dark skinned debate only proves he doesn't care.

he just a comedian, get over
the fact that he selectively chooses to talk about black woman because no one will do shit about it. but gheys and politics are off limits because he's a pussy who doesn't believe in the comic creed he is espousing..

Lol Rolls eyes. Oh my gosh. Since when have comedians ever had to...nvm. I see yall are having a very prim n proper, pinky in the air, conversation. I refuse to do that.
Last thing ima say on this topic: on the IC we say all the time 'gay is the new black', 'u cant say shyt about gay people these days', etc. When we say it, we're not defending it, we're stating a truth of how it is now unfortunately
Thats all Kevin Hart is saying imo, and yall are acting like he made these rules.

The greatest comedians were ahead of their time, and said things that stretched the boundaries of what the status quo considered morality. If Twitter existed when Pryor, Carlin, Lenny Bruce, Redd Foxx and Eddie Murphy was out, they'd be publicly shamed for their acts and forced to apologized. Murphy made jokes about gays all the time even tho he's a tranny chaser. Kevin Hart is just playing it safe with the whole "black people be like" shit that's been played out since Comic View, but scared to joke about gay people. I don't care what he talks about, but I'm choke slam the next cat that says Kevin Hart is one of the funniest comedians of all time when he can't even push the boundaries of his own art.

Smh
Here we have a comedian that publicly admits gays are off limits yet clearly sees no problem making fun of his own to entertain black AND white folk, and u don't have a problem with that?
Lol its not a big deal but let's not pretend this is just something we should dismiss as simply being a smart business decision
Reminds me of when Dave Chappell was on oprah and he talked of how during a skit he seen a white man laughing and how it made him uncomfortable with the direction of his show
Begs the question do blk artist even comedians have a responsibility to challenge negative blk stereotypes instead of perpetuating them for a laugh
Even richard pryor said that there was a thin line between being a tom amd depicting human beings
i think kevin hart is funny,
he's just afraid of losing his spot.....
so he's trying to be careful not to offend....which does offend a lotta black people, because the comics who are near and dear to our hearts, never gave a shit about offending, if there was something that needed to be said, it was said
kevin hart just not cut from that cloth....
doesn't take away from his comedy, but it does damage his standing as one of the greats.....

Im ready for this kevin heart ship to sail, he was alright at 1st but once white folks like you they burn you out then you want to censor yourself to keep them white dollars coming in.

Nothing happens in a vacuum, so you cant just say comics from 30, 20, even 10 years ago all said what they wanted, if you're not gonna address the huge cultural shifts and demographic changes (gay mfers are rampant now). Thats just not fair or accurate. So Eddie murphy, b/c he's a legend with nfg, would do a faggot bit today? You lie.
And the last mainstream comedian "near and dear" to us was Chapelle and i'll bet theres certain shyt he said just 10 short years ago that he wouldnt/couldnt say today.
