Jimmy Kimmel finally grew up and gets it now. The same can't be said about his co-host, Adam Carolla.

It's probably because of his family's connection to jazz, but Billy always seemed just a bit too comfortable pretending to be black, acting black, talking black, etc.

It's hard to explain, but it's not him saying, "I'm a comedian and this is how black people talk." It's more like, "This is how my people talk."

I may be a crazy person.

Do people know the difference between elected officials and entertainers?

This is literally ‘what-aboutism’ for black-face.
