all the retarded takes in this post is the reason many have come to hate lemmy. you guys do get that he’s a comedian doing an act at a conference, right?
What’s the joke?
I would like to know that. I would also like to know what the joke the same fuck told at the same event about black people carving Jack-o-Lanterns out of watermelons was.
I hope @[email protected] can enlighten us as to what both jokes are.
According to the modlog, his comment was about how “all the r-slur takes in this thread are why many people hate lemmy, and you guys do get that he’s a comedian doing an act at a conference, right?”
Hm. Doesn’t sound like much of a joke to me.
Isn’t even an original joke, the meme of trash island in the Atlantic is old as hell, Google “England” for more information.
I think the joke was “I hate minorities, this is my unironic view! Race war now, if it aint white it’s not right, white power!” which, is about as funny as a child with terminal illness, which is to say… Not very funny at all, and is in fact quite a serious matter that should be taken as such.
According to the modlog, they posted

Yeah, that’s great. What’s the point of the moderator removing a comment if somebody like you is going to come along and repost it?
What’s the point of having a modlog that allows anyone to publicly see the comment that was removed?
The purpose was to show that they weren’t making some off-colored joke, as some suggested, but rather making a hateful statement in general. It was removed for violating rule 5. I censored out the slur, so if the mods want to remove my comment, they will. Feel free to ask them to do so.
His “act” was only racist stuff. Republicans seems to believe decomplexed racism is comedy.
I have Republican acquaintances who still make Clinton/Lewinsky jokes. Actually funny comedy is not their forte.
You should hit 'em back with a joke about Watergate.
I guess Tammany Hall would be the wrong party.
The south is a single issue voting bloc.
That issue being the reinstitution of Jim Crow.
Why even say this? What a useless shitbag.
To them, cruelty is comedy.
Is that Kill Tony?
Yup thats what he does… roast mfs! I dont understand how everyone on lemmy is losing their mind over 1 joke!
The context is important. Republicans are openly racists, and this is a rally for Donald Trump presidency. This isn’t a badly lit comedy room
People who attend these events know who will be performing. Kill tony constantly brings black/hispanic comics on his show so Im very confused by what you are trying to say. All republicans are not racist.
“I am not racist because I have black friends”. This is how you sound.
The presidential nominee for the GOP is openly racist, sexist and a fascist. By choosing DJT as a nominee, you cannot dissociate the rascim from the party. If you are still a member of the GOP and/or vote for Trump, at best, you enable racism.
So yeah, going to the GOP rally shitting on Puerto Ricans, you are most definitely racist.
How I sound to you maybe, but that doesnt matter. Remember all this over a joke… get over your self!
Did you know you can interact with other races while still being racist?
Do you still believe that racism means that you actively are trying to kill another race?
He is openly bigoted, it’s not an act. Just watch his show. When he is drunk it all comes out, including his self-hating for being gay
Its comedy but it sounds like you dont like that type of comedy. No one is being racist to people who willingly went to a show that kill tony would be on. Nothing I can do if it hurts your fragile feelings.
Comedy isn’t a free pass to be a racist piece of shit.
For those that didn’t know before that Tony Hinchliffe is a racist Republican, now they know and can choose for themselves what they want to do about that. You can go and suck Tony’s dick.
It’s just a joke get over it!
And yet, most racists are Republicans. Weird.
It’s Tony Hinchcliffe at a recent MAGA rally in New York City.
I am not fan of Tony but I really love Shane Gillis. I loved the Trump and Biden(Shane and Adam) episode. It was the best comedy I’ve seen in quite a while.
How many jokes about Christians or conservatives did he do? Zero?! Why’s that? Answer those questions.
This isn’t even good racism. This is like, 2000s-era ironic racism. Which was about as funny as Holocaust jokes, and aged about as well as Anne Frank.
Where’s the hateful, KKK, lynchmob racism? Don’t just casually half ass it. Show your real murican colors.
Tony Hinchcliffe is not funny. Watched his podcast for a while then totally abandoned it because I realized I wasn’t laughing during most episodes. It’s mostly seasoned comics taking cheap shots at amateurs and then saying some racist shit while they all laugh and no one in the audience does. His nasally voice is annoying as fuck and hitching his wagon to the trump train seems pretty on brand for that fuckwit. His comedy brand caters to the same people who really like Joe Rogan and Alex Jones, both regulars on the podcast. Shocking I know.
He’s auditioning for a job with Shaprio’s outfit, or some other similar conservative shitpile. It’s not a coincidence that 99% of Right Wing grifters are failures in the entertainment business. Failed actors, comedians, screenwriters, musicians. They’re all narcissists, and more than a little psychopathic. They all think cruelty = comedy. They’re shitty human beings who should be ostracized.
So is Donald Trump “presidential” yet? Trump will never get a bigger or better venue than Madison Square Garden between now and the election and THIS is the stupid shit he is going with.
They’re absolutely terrified of Puerto Rican statehood, so they try to drive them away.
Little piss-baby cowards.
Tony, Chapelle, and Joe Rogan are actively murdering comedy. They blame everyone but themselves because they can’t get with the times. They look down on people and punch down constantly, and still manage to miss the mark. They are not down to earth, they are not relatable, and they should NOT be looked up to.
That’s spot on.
If you look at actual funny people, they’ve worked out a way to do it without being heavily racist.
If you look at shows like Brooklyn 99, they did an amazing job at respecting everyone whilst being hilarious. The parts of this nonsense I saw, was just cringe. It seemed like they were trying more to advertise racism than going for humor, because even my mates are funnier and they’re not professionals
It feels like they were probably surrounded by yes men their whole lives so have lost touch
They can’t vote, so why would they care? Easy targets, no apparent consequences.
Puerto Ricans can and do move and there’s large numbers of them in swing states. There’s 450 thousand just in Pennsylvania
Yeah, I was being mildly satirical. Insulting any people group seems like it should be a losing move. I wish it were.
They’re just bullies.
You couldn’t invent a band of chucklefucks more capable at torpedoing a presidential campaign…and yet here we are, tied, with apparently no ability to sway any voters away from Trump. It’s so demoralizing.
Except for the millions of Puerto Ricans that live in the Continental US.
Yeah I’m on board, I was attempting some mild satire.
If they don’t live in Pennsylvania, Arizona or Nevada, they also don’t count.
Why the /s?
That’s literally the point. Easy target, plus they’re brown people i/e “Not Real Americans”
Bone stock Republican shit.
“We’re The Real Americans!” while flying the confederate flag.
Completely without irony. Absolutely destitute of self reflection.
I guess in this case the /s is for satire.
What a fucking cunt Jesus Christ. The racist rhetoric has really stepped up these past few months since there’s been 0 consequences
Free Puerto Rico
*With purchase of regular-priced Puerto Rico
The joke only works if you understand that it’s not true and that no one can obviously believe it.
If it’s done where you and everyone thinks it’s true, you’re at a Klan rally or probably at the comedy mothership or something.
Jfc, they’re USA citizens. Ffs.
Are they? Are they really? Puerto Rico still isn’t allowed to be it’s own state
What a weird place this instance is.
The explanation for those not in the know.Puerto Ricans are USA citizens they can vote for president but They can not vote on the president from Puerto Rico. They are natural born US citizens can’t vote for president in the place of their birth. This is because of many reasons.
So they have to move and become residents of not Puerto Rico, but a different state, to vote for president.
So they do not have the same rights as other US citizens because of where they live. This is unique in the united states.
What a weird place this instance is.
implying that there are instances that aren’t like this
I mean, it’s not because they’re Puerto Rican, it’s because they live in Puerto Rico. Someone from Iowa who moved to Puerto Rico would also not get a vote.
This is because our system allocates votes to land, not people.
US citizens don’t get to vote for president. They get to vote for who their place of residence votes for.Up until the 60s, people in DC also didn’t get a vote, because by default only states get a vote, and it’s explicitly not a state.
Puerto Rican statehood is more complicated than that. Becoming a state is a contentious issue even amongst Puerto Ricans.
Is it?
I had friends there for a long time, they all basically either wanted the US out or had it be a US state, anything but this in between nothing that they’re in now
Yes it is. There is another referendum on statehood this year, but in 2020, the vote was only marginally higher in favor of it than against.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Puerto_Rican_status_referendum
A 2019 Gallup poll found 83% of Democrats in the US, but only 35% of Republicans, supported Puerto Rican statehood. A 2020 survey by International Policy Digest found that “The majority of Democrats showed support for statehood for both D.C. (61.8%) and Puerto Rico (69.7%)” while among Republicans, only 26.7% supported D.C. statehood and 34.8% supported Puerto Rican statehood.
That speaks volumes.
Are they? Are they really?
Yes they really are. They are U.S. citizens who are disenfranchised based on location.
Yeah, maybe it wasn’t entirely clear there but I was trying to say that they were treated as second class citizens that can pay taxes but can’t vote becit of where they live
You do know that has nothing to do with being of Puerto Rican ethnicity, right? It has to do with living on Puerto Rico. You can be a citizen of Indonesian descent who lives on Puerto Rico and you still can’t vote for president. But that person, and all of the other U.S. citizens making up the population of Puerto Rico can just hop on a plane or a boat and come to the continental U.S. (or even Hawaii or Alaska), no passport needed, move there without any immigration issues, and vote in the next presidential election.
It doesn’t matter what your ethnicity is.
You also can’t vote for president if you live on American Samoa or Guam.
I thought that was what I said, but having said that, does any of that make sense to you?Puerto Rico is US territory, you should be able to vote. Same for Samoa and other territories
They are still U S. citizens, just not citizens of any state. Same thing can happen if you are born in DC or a military base not in a state.
American Samoans are the ones that really get screwed. They are just U S. nationals. All the responsibilities of citizens (including the draft when it exists) but not all of the benefits.
It was kind of my point that they were treated as second class citizens, like Samoans, just because of where they were born. Puerto Rico should be it’s own state already
I think maybe the text of your post did not convey that sentiment, particularly given the reliability of Poe’s Law. Perhaps in the future, you might include a visible indicator that you are using satire?
This was like 4th grade shit for me my man.
