if it's a roast, anyone who steps in the room to participate isn't off limits and has agreed to play the game
but i dont think george floyd was in attendance. or has the ability to consent to his name being tossed into the fray
kevin looks ridiculous defending this
Coon
Im glad the board is back up to discuss this
Because I think Black ppl are making George Floyd into something he was not
and doing too much with this backlash over that unfunny joke

it's not so much about making an angel out of George Floyd
he wasn't a murderer but he wasn't a saint either. like many other people
but he's literally referencing the moment he died at the hands of a police officer and making a kii out of it
this speaks to an issue and longstanding conversation that is understandably very sensitive to the community. not whether George was a candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize or not
people weren't enraged and tearing shit up in 2020 cuz they loved George so much and cuz he was the world's greatest dad. his unfortunate situation was merely a
catalyst for a tea that had been reaching the boiling point in this country for decades.
and in 2026 it still serves as a catalyst in these conversations, which explains why people want this white man's head on a platter.

This cracker tried it and he didn't even deliver it clearly. You can tell he was nervous because he wanted to do the "edgy" thing. And it didn't even make sense.
I fully understand what the initial outrage was about the cop killing George Floyd. There's no excuse for the cop to literally decide to kill that man regardless of his past or his medical condition.
I'm saying though, now ppl are tearing apart the whole show, Kevin having to defend himself all because George is also being held to a high standard as well. Loren interviewed his brother to get his opinion as if they're celebrities.
It's just overkill

even though he lost his life it's really never been about George Floyd specifically though
some things go way beyond a name and the specific people involved in a situation
jurors admitted they let OJ Simpson off not cuz they thought he was a saint, but because they were tired of seeing Black people gettin the shit end of the stick after losing their lives, and wanted to stick a middle finger up to the courts and White people
yes OJ benefitted from the mess and benefitted from a case where his lawyer cleverly made it a race conversation ... but the bigger convo and issues are to thank for that.
i think youre kinda missing or overlooking the fact that George is simply a catalyst. if u acknowledge that you'd probably have a better understanding of why people have such emotional responses to his name
simply put: saying "George Floyd" is pretty much saying "brutality/Black murders at the hands of White cops"

the way his skin kept getting more and more red
nsjnjsjnsjnsjnjnfjnfsjnsfjsn
he tryna stand in his mess and be "tough guy! unbothered! now whats next? :plea: "
but his bahvey is telling on him.
I don't see where he is defending anything or anyone. He explained how it works, and that's that.
No one is off limits, dead or alive. That's the dark beauty of real comedy.
even by technical/literal definition, including other people in a roast that have not chosen to participate isn't correct.
so he's not "explaining how roasts work"
skkscmkskmcskcskmkmmskmkmscksckc
as i mentioned earlier, consent is usually a prerequisite in a roast.
someone asking "why is George in this? :uhh: " is not only an emotional question, it's actually a very logical and reasonable question.

I think roasts have possibly changed from what some ppl remember them as. In this roast and others I've seen, the ppl don't only focus on the person being roasted. In this roast they talked about Sheryl Underwood's husband committing suicide, they talked about Charlie Kirk getting killed, they talked about Pete Davidson's father dying in 9/11
Why is the line drawn at George Floyd?
None of those things had anything to do with Kevin, but the only thing he's being pressed about is George.
Katt Williams stood in his face and called him a coon for 10 minutes
and he had to take that on the chin
But he was supposed to fight over George?

people were def having conversations about Sheryl's dead family members being included in her roast
she actually addressed the conversation and said she had no issue with it but it was a reasonable question
comedians by default aren't gonna be too sensitive
but i have a hard time understanding why people don't understand how a White comedian making jokes about a Black man losing his life to a cop could rub someone the wrong way
if you're not offended personally that's actually great and i wouldn't want someone to be offended/angry just for the SAKE of being so and being performative or fake outraged.
but its a lil cray cray to question why others wouldn't see the huge hehe and haha, especially since George isn't here to consent to the laughter at his demise
I don't think something is funny and I'm rubbed the wrong way by that joke
Vs
Being outraged and insulting the whole show and everyone on it over 1 joke
How is that the same thing?

people have different ways of handling or expressing their discomfort/disgust
im sure there are people who were offended by the George Floyd mess that are only focused on the joke in question
and you have others who question why people who look like them aren't speaking up, and may lash out at them
but i mean when you broadcast/air jokes kii'ing at a Black man losing his life to a cop who was found guilty of murdering him
IMO it's a situation where a bear is poked ....
i mean u can try to dictate how the bear responds, but there may not be a lot of room for requests once instinct/emotions take the wheel.
personally im not over here foaming at the mouth and ready to torch buildings down over the joke
but im also not gonna look at another black person and ask them "why u so upset? lighten up :uhh: "
when being stopped by the wrong cop is a very real, ongoing reality that many people think of every day they leave their house and step into their vehicle
it's so much bigger than just George and his name.
the fact of the matter is george floyd is still a very sensitive topic for many people. and whether one thinks it should or shouldn't be at this point, the reality is that it is. and refusing to acknowledge that reality is everyone's own choice to make, but it doesn't change the fact that it's ignorant an insensitive. also there was no need to bring up george floyd in any capacity for this or any other roast. he did it to be edgy and wasn't ready for the backlash.
as for kevin, he's never beating the allegations. the community that is responsible for supporting you in a way that enabled you to achieve this level of success are now speaking on the fact that the joke was offensive. and instead of simply acknowledging that, you take the approach of "well what y'all want me to do about it!?" completely ignorant and out of touch. par of the course from him atp.
