"Yeah well it's racist to tell me I can't use the word because I'm white!" I've seen so many people using this absurd logic. It's like that scene in Clerks 2.

My parents said it, why can't I

wtf kind of argument is this for a grown ass man
And my parents bought a house in their 20s. He just wants to be able to say a simple "word".

No one's stopping him. He just wants to say it and not face any consequences.
I say let him say it. But he has to say it loudly, frantically screaming it directly into the face of a frightened Jonathan Taylor-Thomas

He should star in Clint Eastwood's new film, The Mule


Because he was a drug mule and is a cokehead

"Richard Pryor said..." is the MLK defense for white comics. He would of course have told them to shut the fuck up.

The parents excuse is weird. Back then there was also segregation, does Tim want that back as well?

In a better timeline Tim Allen lived most of his life in prison like he was going to instead of becoming an actor.

It's not about racism guys! But for some reason the most racist word keeps getting brought up as the example of PC culture gone overboard.

Tim Allen on Home Improvement was basically a surrogate father to me growing up, since I didn't have a male figure in my early life.

I've known he's been shit for a few years now, but goddamn man. Have at least the appearance of self respect.

I kind of have a perverse respect for the fact that he's willing to outight say that he wants to say the n word again. Like 99% of the time people who bitch about 'language policing' or being overly pc or whatever clearly are just mad they cant say the n word anymore. It's almost refreshing to hear someone admit it.

It would be like hearing a trump supporter say "ok I know he's stupid and incompetent, but he hates the people I hate and that's all that matters to me". They still suck but at least there's an iota of self awareness.

There's an oral history of Galaxy Quest somewhere, and the cast say Tim acted exactly like his character, in people's faces, full of shit, annoying everyone.

I would love to hear the comedic intent behind his use of the N word.

If your race-based "joke" can't be funny without using racial slurs, then you must be a shit comedian.

Who would have guessed that homer simpson would be one of better role models among 80-90s sitcome dads . His show sucks now but at least Dan Castellanetta isn't running about raping people or saying the n word.

Allen has always been a terribly unfunny comedian who comes off as a hack at best. He's always sucked and this just adds too it, fuck him.

White people complaining about PC culture are pretty much just whining they aren't allowed to drop the N bomb when the coloreds get to use it freely.

Not only did he invoke Pryor's name, but he made the same stupid argument that you can't watch Blazing Saddles without looking over your shoulders.

This guy who just did a 44 city comedy tour has no idea how comedy works.

Every comedian crying about how they can't do the same material they've been doing for 30 years is a fucking moron who needs to understand that times changes and comedy changes. Comedy has changed many times and will continue to change in the future.

Hot take Get Out is more scathing than Blazing Saddles
