Ellen Degeneres has incurred the WRATH OF THE INTERNET for siding with evil homophobic bigot Kevin Hart.
She even thinks the Oscars should take him back.
Ellen DeGeneres reveals on @TheEllenShow (airing Friday) that she called the Academy and that they are open to having Kevin Hart step back into the Oscar hosting role https://t.co/ROJmyQqaII

According to TMZ:
Ellen DeGeneres is being skewered on social media for reducing the criticism of Kevin Hart’s homophobic comments to an attack by a small group of internet haters.
Ok…maybe it was a LARGE group of internet haters. Either way, it was ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS.
Kevin Hart is appearing on Ellen’s show Friday, and DeGeneres launched a full-court attack on people who still have issues with Hart saying things like, “If my son comes home & try’s 2 play with my daughters doll house I’m going 2 break it over his head & say n my voice ‘stop that’s gay.'” Hart also said in one of his comedy specials, “One of my biggest fears is my son growing up and being gay.”
AND NOW THAT COMEDIANS MAKING JOKES IS FORBIDDEN, THIS IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE.
DeGeneres seemed to say the gay community is fine with Hart’s vague apology back in 2014 and his more recent post in 2018, in which he said, “I sincerely apologize to the LGBTQ community for my insensitive words from my past.”
DeGeneres and Hart dismissed the critics as trolls, and she then doubled down and said it was Kevin’s “right” to host the Oscars.

It’s not anyone’s “right” to host the Oscars. That’s silly. But yeah, I’m with her. The “I’M WILDLY OFFENDED BY EVERYTHING ALWAYS” crowd is a trolly as they come.
THEY ARE TROLLS. SORRY, NOT SORRY.
Anyway, they’re all pissed at Ellen now:
He should absolutely NOT host the Oscars! He shouldn’t even have a career after all of the incredibly homophobic stuff he posted! Absolutely heartbroken to see that Ellen defended him. #KevinHart

So… can only black lesbians accept apologies? I’m confused. How is this a race thing?
