Jimmy Fallon is scurrying to cover up a raс Ist skit she participated in twenty years ago when he was just starting out on his career path.
Because Fallon was willing to put on blackfaсe to get ahead in his career – at the expense of blaсk people across the United States – he is now scrambling to get his apology in front of as many people as possible.
Although Fallon has apologized for slаthаring on blaсkfаce as a way of making a joke about race in America, his critics think that his career might be nearing its end.
Because of the politically correct climate during the Trump Administration, people are hyper-aware of comedians and actors who have a dark history of engaging in raс Ist behavior like blaсkfасe and other scandalous situations.
Fallon now wants to cover his tail and make people forget about the terrible thing he did in 2000 while on the cast of Saturday Night Live. However, he is only talking about his history of blасkfасе now that someone came forward with a clip of it and shared it with the internet.
“In 2000, while on SNL, I made a terrible decision to do an impersonation of Chris Rock while in blасkfаcе. There is no excuse for this,” Fallon stated.
The clip of Jimmy Fallon in blасkfасe surfaced on Twitter recently and sent Fallon’s public relations team scrambling for the “right” way to handle his rас ist past. Fallon painted his fасе blасk when doing an impersonation of comedian Chris Rock.
Now that Fallon has made it to the height of the entertainment world, he wants to apologize for putting on blасkfасе while he was trying to rise to the top. Although he was willing to do whatever it took back in 2000 – including putting on blackface to get a laugh – he now has a lot to lose if people do not forgive him quickly and forget his rас Ist act.
Fallon wrote, “I am very sorry for making this unquestionably offensive decision and thank all of you for holding me accountable.”
However, it does not seem Fallon has yet been held accountable. He still holds his lucrative job and access to his massive fan base.
