Louis CK Performance In Kyiv As Racist Controversy Continues
Louis Ck’s performance in Kyiv is not canceled despite the racist controversy continues. Despite Russia’s continued invasion of Ukraine, the stand-up comedian appears to be holding his show in Kyiv.
Footage from the 2011 HBO special Talking Funny featured Chris Rock, Ricky Gervais, Jerry Seinfeld, and Louis C.K. has reappeared on social media.
According to the Daily Beast, Rock refers to Louis C.K. as “the blackest white dude I know.” As C.K. guffaws alongside him, he says that “all the terrible things we imagine about black people, this f**ker [is].”
The video was criticized heavily on the internet. People argued that Black people couldn’t offer white people “permission” to use the N-word because it can emphasize that anyone can use racist slurs.
In addition, people who signified Louis’s asking for permission to use the slurs are just searching for a co-signer to something they’re already comfortable with.
Many people think that the jokes he makes on the subject represent his underlying thinking about the people of the race, which has made him a subject of controversy.
