alone for wearing blackface 20 years ago, and says his buddy has NO reason to apologize.
Jamie came to the 'Tonight Show' host's defense with a series of comments on Jimmy's IG post where he did actually say he was sorry for his 'SNL' impression ofJamie said Jimmy"ain't got to apologize for s**t" and called him a great comedian who did an incredible impersonation.did a mea culpa Tuesday after the clip from the year 2000 resurfaced on social media with the hashtag, #jimmyfallonisoverparty.
Jimmy said,"I made a terrible decision to do an impersonation of Chris Rock while in blackface. There is no excuse for this." He added,"I am very sorry for making this unquestionably offensive decision and thank all of you for holding me accountable." But, for anyone trying to cancel Jimmy ... Jaime's NOT having it. He went on to say in defense of his bud,"Some of y’all didn’t even see the sketch… relax and laugh! it's Other muuuuuuphuckas out there that really don’t care bout ya… use that energy for them!!! But leave my mans alone."
Here comes the bootlickin...
So, blackface IS acceptable then?! Interesting.....
They are a good friend.. what you guy's talking about...
Exactly! Everyone needs to stop with bullshit.
Yeh! Not a problem. He no racist.
No funny
And again .... Robert Downey Jr. ..... Tropic Thunder ......
I believe there is a stark difference between what Jimmy did and what blackface actually is. Jimmy is representing an actual individual in a comedic performance. Blackface is using perceived characteristics of an entire race in a degrading manner for so called entertainment
I agree with iamjamiefoxx the blackface issue is when it's done to make fun of black ppl. But this is just an impersonation. If this is an issue then there should be an issue with the movie Tropic Thunder
If I have look at a 12 screen video of advertisement again I’m going to end it
Jamie forgot his was a nigga they both bitches
C'mon, That's not blackface. Considering what's on the news. This is not priority.
Whatever
Yes it’s called acting
He got to
about time. i wish jimmy would've defended comedy
iamjamiefoxx jimmyfallon I'm with Jamie. RobertDowneyJr DID A WHOLE MOVIE IN BLACK FACE.! CALLED TROPIC THUNDER. LESS THAN 20 YEARS AGO. C'MON MAN LEAVE JIMMY ALONE. the woke need to GoBackToSleep
Newsflash no blacks are really upset about this. 😂😂
Good...on....you.... Jamie Foxx, class act.
Tell them Jaimie. I said the same damn thing. Its so dumb. Its call comedy. Get the stick out and laugh.
Forgive one you have to forgive them all
Liberals being liberals it ain't racist if you liberal
The liberals in this country have no sense of humor. It wasn’t a problem then and shouldn’t be one now!!!! They as making this a problem to get the focus off Joe Biden 😬. Just saying 😉
Explanation, if you’re a Democrat you’re allowed to be racist and do racist things, like black face, dress up as KKK, and say the N-word 🤷♀️
If it’s wrong, it’s wrong. Zero excuses 🤷♀️
There are to many things goin on right now to bring this bs up... ppl need to stop this is STUPID he is a comedian he wasn’t disrespecting him or being racist ...🙄🙄
Cause Jamie not living in the 1800's thinking white ppl owe him something. Good job
what they picking and choosing who can do it 😂😂😂
Just the same nonsense....45 is tweeting videos to kill all Democrats videos and a comedian does comedy?
Defend Jimmy! I (we) need his show to promote my career and fellow actors. He's a good guy wink wink
Did Chris Rock get mad at Jimmy for impersonating him?
Hes a actor it's his job. Just think how many wasn't upset when the late Robin Williams dress up in women's clothing it didn't upset the people. White chicks movie didn't upset white people get a grip of yourself and behave
Why is it that only white people are offended by this. Haven't seen one black person offended by a 20 year old joke
I agree with Fox, but NBC fired Megyn Kelly for saying kids in blackface during Halloween isn’t a huge deal. Meanwhile, they ignore everyone’s favorite lap dog when he dresses in blackface. Seems there’s a double standard.
Good for Jaime .
I don’t understand why this is even news from 20 years ago! Jimmy Fallon has been invited to the cookout for as long as I can recall. This shit was a reach. LeaveJimmyAlone JimmyIsNOTover I’m not going to that dumb ass party jimmyfallon the people aren’t mad with you!!!
I’ve said it once and I’ll say it until I die: context matters.
Cancel culture is just an aspect of fascism.
Comedy has been altered. Never in my life had I thought a comedian would have to be carful of his jokes. Or punished My God, these people (snowflakes) would have had panic attacks pre 1990s.
Fuck it it was a good impression
Jamie Foxx gets it.
Double standard. If this was an 'unlikable' celebrity, he would be canceled immediately.
Jamie Foxx? Hey GREAT!!! I'm going to guess the 'University' of Minnesota does not approve. ''UNIVERSITY'' Ha,ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok
Why do Liberals think it is ok
Foxx is right. While it's unpopular on the internet right now with cancel culture so rampant, there's a clear difference between dressing up as a specific person and dressing up as a racist caricature, and we all know it when we see it. People conflating the two are disingenuous.
Most do except annoying pc police
Don't understand why Fallon was even targeted !? Robert Downey also did it !? Why he not targeted. Both imitating someone. So all this is completely stupid !?
