Hey white people…sit this one out.
But I wanna call him stupid names for being a dipshit.
yea, this isn’t a typical “white” view
Edit, read this backwards, my bad
view “white” typical a isn’t this ,yea?
More backwards plz
zlp sdrawkcab eroM
Thanks, finally some sense
If only.
Well, typical, no, literally only weird white people saying it, yes.
That’s an enormous demographic
Way less than half though. We just mostly live in blue cities, so our votes count for less.
Hey black people… that’s it really, just saying hello.
Hey black people can I have your grandmother’s recipe for mac and cheese
Username checks out
maybe. Gotta say the magic word
OMG HAII!!
Can we sit it out AFTER we can him a piece of shit? I think that’s important for anybody who wants to be an ally to be heard too.
We don’t want to be like all those “good” cops and “good” republicans that everybody is waiting to hear speak up.
Do what I always do? Can do!
On behalf of all the white people who aren’t him: gladly
I’m perfectly fine waiting for the inevitable comment by the wonderful Lucy Lawless calling out the little “Peanut”.
Impressing that somehow this makes sense in his head.
Not really, he has a stereotype of what a Black person acts like, that includes saying the n word.
He can’t comprehend there are some people who are both Black and find the word distasteful. So to him if a Black person won’t say it, then they’re not Black.
It’s perfectly logical when looking at it from a racists viewpoint. And if you haven’t noticed there’s a lot of them these days, it’s important to understand how they think, so you can do risk management on what they’re trying to do.
Do t just write them off as “evil” and illogical because that makes it harder to fight them. Their logic might not be based on facts or critical thinking but there is a type of logic there. Flawed logic is still logic.
No, this is just agitation. The logic is that posting that on twitter will occupy and upset liberals. Don’t give trolls the benefit of sincerity
Edit: reading that again the last sentence sounds wrong but I think it gets the point across
Oh wow, i was going to write a whole speech about how “blacks are animals” is not how modern racism works. It can’t be That is a 17th century view on racism and today’s racism is much more about politics, fear, insecurity and sometimes just social ignorance. Surely a public and succesful person like Kevin Sorbo would not be so brain damaged as to think black people are not human.
Imagine my surprise when I find he literally called black people animals…
Your explanation gave me brain damage. It all makes sense now
Not really, he has a stereotype of what a Black person acts like, that includes saying the n word. He can’t comprehend there are some people who are both Black and find the word distasteful. So to him if a Black person won’t say it, then they’re not Black.
It’s not about if they want to say it or not it is about society accepting if they can say it or not. When a non-black person sings a rap song, they are supposed to omit the n-word. If you are black, you’re free to say it when desired.
This is basically saying. What if Karmala is raping and gets to an n-word. Is she free to say it?
She is not “African-American” which the word refers to
African-Americans accepting her into the “black” group based on skin color is essentially reverse racism. “She looks like us so she can be one of us”
This is coming from a white Mexifinn-American. I don’t get accepted as being Mexican because I don’t have the skin color, and I don’t get accepted as Finnish because I have a Hispanic last name. I don’t care because I enjoy being treated as an American. I get treated like I’m “white” though.
Sad reality is Harris would get treated as “black”
I don’t have a n-word card to give so I can’t make the call
When a non-black person sings a rap song, they are supposed to omit the n-word.
Eh
It’s not as cut and dry as it used to be.
Even a decade ago, Ice Cube made eye contact with me at a concert and said it’s weird if we dont sing it when singing along. Like, he said it to the whole audience I’m just tall as fuck, was standing up front, and at peak tan look like a sheet of printer paper.
It stopped being a clear cut (black and white if you would) issue a long time ago.
I mean, if you’re around Black people who use it frequently, eventually you’re going to say it. You might feel bad the first time, there might be a discussion, but that’s just how language works.
Picking up words/phrases/idioms isn’t something that happens consciously. Especially when the people around you use it to refer to you too. Not like there’s a milestone you hit and you get permission. But if people say it referring to you just like anyone else that’s using it, eventually you’re gonna say it.
It all depends on how someone says it, and how they handle themselves.
Like if you half ass every word and then scream the n word, people aren’t gonna be happy. Bouncing your head and it comes out like every other word?
I’d be real surprised if anyone mentioned it
Half a decade ago, Kendrick Lemar kicked a white woman off stage for saying it.
She apparently had the rap down and didn’t think about it.
I wouldn’t say it in public, in a quote or song. The amount of people that would get angry at you is more than the people that would stand up for you.
Then dont?
You’re the one insisting it’s a binary thing where it’s always ok or never ok and the answer is the same for everyone.
I’m not trying to make you do anything.
I wouldn’t say it in public, in a quote or song. The amount of people that would get angry at you is more than the people that would stand up for you.
That shouldn’t be the reason you wouldn’t say it, but I suppose it’s the best we’re going to get.
What if Karmala is raping and gets to an n-word
Although I laughed at the idea of Kamala Harris casually assaulting people, then drawing the line at black people, it’s “Rapping” not “raping”.
African-Americans accepting her into the “black” group based on skin color is essentially reverse racism. “She looks like us so she can be one of us”
How about she’s black because it’s not only how she identifies and her skin color, but also because it’s the US and the average bigot on the street (or on Lemmy) isn’t going to go, “Hey I’ll take it easy on this one because I know her her blackness comes from Jamaica.”
No one needs to “accept” that I’m white, and I don’t give a fuck whether they do. I very much doubt that Kamala give a shit who “accepts” her as black, and I’m very sure she doesn’t care what a bunch of bigoted republicans think about the matter.
You know how I know when someone’s comment about race is going to hold no value whatsoever? When they think “reverse racism” has meaning of any kind.
It’s dumb but would probably be a pretty funny joke if somebody like Dave Chappelle said it. But hair boy hercules might not have been joking
Never go full Sorbo
Then he said “It’s Sorbin time!” And he went full Sorbo, he just Sorbd all over the place.
Ew, I’ve got Sorbo on my shoe
You have my sworb
This would be a god-tier shitpost if it weren’t real
Sounds like an Onion article. “Kamala Harris claims to be black despite not using the n-word”.
As a nerdy kid with longish hair and few male role models, I really, really looked up to this guy. Hercules, Xena, Kull, and then Andromeda.
He fell off my radar for a while but I was pleasantly entertained when I found him in the Mythica series. I’d always thought well of him.
Eventually I heard about God Is Not Dead and looked into the rest of his more right wing work… Its really heartbreaking when people you respected or even idolized as a kid turn out to be so… gross and just… weird.
Now he again pops up on my radar with stupid shit like this. So sad.
Sucks about Sorbo, but thankfully Lucy Lawless (Xena) is still cool af. If you haven’t seen her in Ash vs Evil Dead, check it out! Good stuff.
That and she often dunks on Sorbo, what a queen.
And My Life is Murder!
When I was a kid I had a pillow version of Hulk Hogan. Now he’s taking pictures and shaking hands with literal nazis.
“Never meet your heroes” applies to just getting to know who they are from a distance too unfortunately.
Oh man. While I was never a huge fan, I had the Tonka Hulk Hogan and Ultimate Warrior Plush/Pillow things. Is that what you mean?
Yeah, Hogan is another guy who is just nuts. I think he’s always been a piece of shit. I heard he notified management of Ventura’s talk of a wrestler’s union which killed it before it could gain any traction.
Not only is he a scab shit but he’s racist as well. You can listen right now to a recording of him saying he’s not going to let his daughter marry a n-
It really is. Guy had the opportunity to be great, but got sick. Like losing an aging parent to Fox.
May you not live long enough to see and watch your heroes become villains.
I know I say this a lot but that might be the worst thing Kevin Sorbo has tweeted
Just say it’s the worst thing Kevin Sorbo has tweeted … so far, then it won’t feel so bad when you have to keep saying it
He’s said some other right-wing dog barf but I can’t think of any examples off the top of my head.
I thought of the “thousand years of darkness” line but that was chuck Norris, the brand name version of Kevin sorbo.
You say the N-Word alot?

Wait, what if she can’t and then a white person says it?
Does that make the white person instantly black? What if people cheer? Does that make the person black?
I have so many questions.
Probably just a matter of time until an orange person says it, so you’ll find out the answers to your questions soon enough.
I’m certain an orange man has said it many times
I’m certain an orange man has said it many times
His nephew says he has.
Donald Trump’s nephew blasts his ‘atomic crazy’ uncle in new book, backs Kamala Harris
I’m very surprised that hasn’t happened yet.
I guess got to give old Donny a little bit of credit when it comes to self control, even though it doesn’t feel right.
Im imagining a white person saying it and their skin instantly changes color
What word would make a black person turn white
We’re one step from creating a display out of humans shouting obscenities
What word would make a black person turn white
Wheres that comic with Biden in it?..
rummages…
ah!
What word would make a black person turn white
Michael Jackson has entered the chat
So… “HEE hee”? “Shamone”? That doesn’t answer the question.
So, a shithole dad and lots of family trauma?
Where do you think Vitiligo comes from?
Cumtown bit. Race-switching Santa, I believe?
If one white person saying it and others cheering makes them black, I can’t wait to watch the documentary about the self destruction of the KKK.
from the people who brought you transvestigating: introducing blackvestigating.
totally not weird, guys. they’re very very normal.
That is a shitty beard.
Man, and to think there was a point in my life where I watched that show and thought he was great. What a pile of shit. I hope he slips and falls on a nice warm pile of dogshit.
Interesting how it takes literal brain damage to come up with a modern conservative’s take.
Is this real?
Sadly, yes. He is one of the bad ones. Same with Chuck Norris. Conservative Christian tankies.
I knew he was bad but this is like you know, particularly bad
Yeah. He’s been like this for a while. He attended the Kirk Cameron School for Mediocre Actors at some point.
Mediocre is pretty damn generous. Like, I was a 90s kid that watched Hercules, but even back then his acting was laughable.
Yeah it was schlocky b-movie stuff overall to be sure. I definitely had a soft spot for him as a kid, and as others have said it’s pretty disappointing that he’s turned out to be such a cockwomble.
They are not lefties what are you even talking about. They’re both white conservative christofascists.
I’m not sure if you’re just using tankie as a general pejorative or what but it specifically means authoritarian left.
I think it’s fine considering he specified conservative christian tankie. Like they’re the conservative version of pro-authoritarian.
It’s called a fascist, and it’s fucking weird and suspect that’d you’d try to push anything else.
I don’t think so man, words have power in their meaning.
“Tankie” started as a general pejorative shorthand for “in the tank.”
MAGAs are tankies. Evangelicals are tankies. Every extremist is a tankie.
It’s just we generally only see the communist authoritarian tankies on here.
That may be what you mean, that isn’t what everyone else means.
That is such an obviously bullshit etymology that I’m going to accuse you of making it up to intentionally muddy the water.
I was wrong in that it has been used to describe right wing extremists but it does originate with the idea that these people would happily hop in a tank and crush any dissent. I realize I was very vague
In my mind, it made sense that anyone willing to use force (eg, a tank) to impose their violent ideology is a tankie.
That’s called a fascist, like for real bro.
Out of the loop - what did Chuck Norris do?
Wants to brand and/or kill all atheists
Sorbo has been a reactionary shit going back to his early career, but he didn’t really let the freak flag fly until he stopped landing roles in the mid-'00s. He’s got a whole line of really cringey anti-Atheism movies (check out the “God’s Not Dead” series trails) and he’s been dipping his toe into the MAGA sphere since Trump took office.
Dude’s totally high on his own supply.
Dipping his toe? This man submerged himself so far he’s basically maga baptized.
Yep, he ruined Andromeda with his weird fascist bullshit, is why the show goes from egalitarian to the Commonwealth being aggressive fascists.
You’re totally right but we’re keeping the freak flag. He can have the bleak flag.
DISAPPOINTED!
My disappointment stems from the fact that this joke has become associated with Hercules when it originated with A Fish Called Wanda, a much better piece of entertainment.
its because A Fish Called Wanda is full of great bits. This guy has one and only one great moment. So its remembered as such.
*“dont call me stupid” is what I always remember getting me to laugh the most from AFCW
Now by him? Did you not watch his God’s Not Dead movie? He plays an asshole atheist professor that makes his students write papers on why God is dead. Very funny, but it tries to be serious.
what a weird thing to say.
All my heroes growing up are assholes now. “Never meet your heroes” fr fr
Lucy Lawless is still awesome
