December 9, 2018As we mentioned, Kevin Hart pulled out of the Oscars when “homophobic” tweets of his surfaced and caused mass outrage.
The tweets were from 2011, back when people were still allowed to make jokes. And they were just that… jokes.
No matter, he’s done.
Anyway, fellow comic Nick Cannon took to Twitter to wonder why it is that in the game of PC culture, some people get buried, and some people get by…
According to E News:
Curious about why Kevin Hartwas so criticized for his past anti-gay tweets, fellow comic Nick Cannon is calling out Amy Schumer, Sarah Silverman and Chelsea Handler over past homophobic tweets they posted themselves years ago.
Well, Amy Schumer, Sarah Silverman, and Chelsea Handler are all card-carrying members of the Social Justice Warrior brigade… which means they get away with whatever they want. Do as we say, not as we do, you know what I mean?
Exhibit A:
Interesting🤔 I wonder if there was any backlash here… https://t.co/0TlNvgYeIj

(It’s really too bad they took down that bird picture. I’m curious.)
Cannon also shared a 2010 tweet from Silverman:
And I fucking love Wreck it Ralph!!! 🤦🏾♂️ https://t.co/6cHA1EQEkg

He then shared a 2012 tweet from Schumer… and this has to be my favorite.
🤔 I’m just saying… should we keep going??? https://t.co/1kESA82WqR

Um… is that a DOUBLE gay joke? I don’t think so. Amy Schumer isn’t clever enough.
Of course, Cannon has had his own controversies in the past, but he’s not shying away from them:
“You know I’ve been saying f–ked up shit since twitter started!” Cannon tweeted on Friday. “I don’t play that politically correct bullshit! F–k politics!! Only Truth!”
Nope!! You know I’ve been saying fucked up shit since twitter started! I don’t play that politically correct bullshit! Fuck politics!! Only Truth!✊🏾 https://t.co/U1UmlQScyc

In 2017, he left his job as host of America’s Got Talent after eight seasons after claiming that NBC executives believed he “disparaged their brand” by making racially charged jokes involving the network on a Showtime special. The comedian had joked about race onstage before.
In 2014, Cannon stirred controversy again when he posted a photo of himself wearing whiteface to promote his new album. He later said on Good Morning America, “It’s even funny they’re using this term ‘whiteface.’ Like, I don’t really know what that is. I know blackface is a term that was created in 1869 to describe offensive minstrel shows. Whiteface, if you look it up and Google it, it’s a ski slope up in upstate New York. I was doing a character impression. Blackface is about oppression.”
“To me, this was to have fun,” he added. “Yes we have issues with race in this country, this world, but it doesn’t have to be with hatred. There’s a big difference between humor and hatred.”
