Mel Gibson Being Cancelled (Again) This Time Over Comments Made in 1995 (25 Years Ago)

I never made an absolute statement that all Black people will react the same, but if you have some fucking common sense, you’d know that by and large, again, they’re not tolerant of provocative behaviour towards their race and history.

We’re going in circles.

I feel like I’m being too nice explaining this in baby steps to you.

If you disagree then OK. You believe in a different reality.
You kept making assumptions the entire time based on race.

Believe it or not, most reasonable and relatively normal people, black or otherwise, don't lash out violently to someone making a joke.
Not sure what world you live in.
M mortal how about you answer some questions.

Have you ever called a black man the N word (it’s just a joke bro)?

Have you ever called a Jew an oven dodger?

Have you ever called a gay person “faggot”?

To their faces? How did that work out?

🧠
lmao you seem to be taking this personally for some reason
1. Your questions have very specific framing for arguments I never made. Even still, context matters is the use of those words, as does intent.
2. You still haven't answered my questions, yet you want me to answer yours. How does that work?
3. You're pretty much implying it's ok to assault someone if you're offended by their joke

If somebody called you an oven dodger would you assault them? Just asking not judging.

I already answered that question brap brap . Read above. I would fire back and depending on their general disposition might give them a threatening look that says "you dun fucked up".

I've done it before, lol. People usually shut the fuck up.

he said to my friend, who’s gay, ‘Oh wait, am I gonna get Aids?’ And then something came up about Jews, and he said, ‘You’re not an oven dodger, are you?’

You wouldn't care if a high paying high profile job got yanked from you because someone brought up comments you allegedly made 25 years ago, deliberately to torpedo you?

I thought he'd given up on Hollywood after the old scandal, actually. But yeah: if he's still working then that makes a huge difference.

“This is 100% untrue. She lied about it over a decade ago, when she talked to the press, and she’s lying about it now.”

“She lied about him trying to apologize to her back then. He did reach out to her, many years ago, to confront her about her lies and she refused to address it with him.”

Something you said a second ago isn't an issue, so I find something you said 20+ years ago laughable. What action do people want from what someone said 20+ years ago? People need to get a grip.
