That Time Jimmy Kimmel Imitated a Black Comedian and Used the “N” Word Repeatedly

Posted by Kemberlee Kaye on June 22, 2020 29 Comments

So here's the thing. If you want to criticize someone, it's probably best if you yourself have not done the exact same thing for which you're criticizing someone else.
