Pedestrian Question - Do You Have a Black Friend?
Most of Kimmel's viral videos (except the teary eye ones) are offensive like these. His Mean Tweets segments are the worse. These enable trolls to have a field day to say the most offensive things to celebrity.
I get that celebrities need to eat some humble pies, but not this way. Not cool.
Just plain don't like both Jimmies.
Personally, I find the question itself offensive.
Now I'm not the type of person who gets offended, but the question is set up in a way that just plain sounds degrading to any friend you may know. It's setting the friend up to be there purely because they are black - the token black friend.
I just think there is a much better way to have phrased the question.
Liberal Redneck - Nuclear Dealbreaker
So it IS just the Donald making a mess of things (again) for a personal peeve, I was not sure, thanks for confirming.
What next, mass imports of east european women? All US embassies converted to Trump Towers? Do we get a wall (or a war?) somewhere in Europe next? Follow the tweets!
Maybe not, maybe its all just some oil price hike scheme.
Donald Trump isn’t ripping up a treaty; he’s walking away from Barack Obama’s personal pledge.

Music so good and that last shot... *inspired
Also we get to see what happened to the center core @1:12
(Edit)
Elon had tweeted the shortage of ignition fluid was the problem of why two of the three engines did not fire. So the core was coming in to fast, and is why it does not attempt to land on the barge but continues a designed trajectory to hit the water.
New Rule: Snide and Prejudice
Is it sad it took a while before I noticed the tweets at the end weren't Trumps?

I remember that Louis CK bit, @ChaosEngine. Yeah. Louis gets it.
That guy who wrote the tweet gets it (Maybe folks have heard of him? I haven't. Andy Khouri is a DC comics editor. https://twitter.com/andykhouri/status/952641728120369152)
No such thing as date rape? Somebody needs to get an education on the topic.
And since newt is responding to my comments on this comment stream, I want to tell the community that I have him on "ignore." He knows this.
Maybe he even has said it himself. I don't know what he is writing, and I don't wish to know. I don't know if it looks weird that I am not responding. I don't know if he is even talking to me, since he knows I am not reading what he writes. Perhaps they are just general comments and he isn't asking me anything.
I honestly don't know.
So this is the deal.
I am not a chicken, afraid to engage with him. I am tired to my bones of his style of communicating and I am just done with it.
I'm sure that others feel the same way about me. I respect that, and I understand why they are done with me.
I love boundaries, and choice, and self-care.

As for hearing the whooping differently than did @00Scu00, I immediately thought of this tweet that is making the rounds of women's Facebook walls. Written by a man:
"Conversation with female friends about dating.
I said I liked dating, even bad dates, because dating can be a kind of adventure. Worst case, you learn something about yourself.
Female friend something like, "No, worst case is I'm raped and killed."
That's when I got it."
That whooping didn't sound like relieved whooping to me. It sounded sounded scary to me. Because of this tweet, what this tweet is saying.
Because most men don't get it. That whooping is proof.
We hear with different ears, men and women. Because we have different experiences and have different fears. Real fears.
And we would really, really like to feel like the vast majority of men are our allies and "get it," as this tweeting guy finally got it.
(You think I agree with every single word written by every single woman? Let me assure you that I don't. As if that even needs saying.)
Netflix's “Godzilla: Monster Planet” Trailer
Also it keeps tweeting about being, like, the best kaiju ever, and how Japan will pay for it crushing Tokyo.
Fitting, since the real threat of nuclear war looms again.
I notice this time the Kaiju is bigger and threatens the whole world.

Right. So the virtual lynchmob is ok because... worse things happen to other people?
What.
Dunno. Not sure how suggesting a woman should be raped because she tweeted a poor joke is in any way making up for Emmett Till. I mean, I made sure I was born of white parents in an affluent country so I guess this is a level of privilege that I will never be able to atone for... but if I tweeted at more white woman that I hope they gets aids do you think that would like, help my case at all?
So you are implying profiting off racism and racists is racist. That is an interesting opinion.
In america there is a well documented history of what happens to any black person caught demeaning whites in any minor way.

The point
Your head
And I don't believe for a moment that you really are missing the point.
The victim in the video made a tweet that sounds racist, but was meant in a sarcastic manner to be making fun of the stupid things racists say.
Your own comment you've made before is the same thing, saying profiting of racism is AOK, in a sarcastic way to be making fun of the stupid things racists do:
Once you learn to profit from racism then BS like this doesn't bother you. In fact you begin to appreciate all the hard free labor that keeps the dividends flowing
You weren't really advocating for enjoying the free labor and profits of racism, you were making fun of it. The victim you are so quick to run a bus over and see ruined made the same joke as you did, but you still fail to see any irony or double standard in this.
And 1 sentence to refute your off-topic rant. Apparently newtboy and I differ from you in believing the historic racism and prejudices were BAD and should be ended rather than recycled against a new range of victims.

I understand that trying to duck, dodge and otherwise change the topic is maybe the best defense you can come up with, but I'm not biting either. You may want to consider if you're the one that should give an inch on occasion and not just support the 'monsters' you've defended for their single racist tweet.
Focus.
You callously said the victim 'only' lost their job, and then posted a link that can only be read as implying the victim truly is filled with a hateful ideology that they should be repenting of.
