*Who knew the Kevin Hart/Oscars/homophobia thing would turn out to be a monster issue? It’s debatable to some if Hart actually even apologized for his anti-gay jokes from years ago.
The point is the controversy is straight up divisive, but Hart has got other celebs defending him. One of them is Nick Cannon who – as we reported – claimed to have “exposed” Sarah Silverman and Amy Schumer for making homophobic statements in the past. Cannon’s point was that that because they were white, no one came for them. Unfortunately, Nick didn’t do his homework ’cause Silverman and Schumer were seriously dragged by queer community and they profusely apologized (Schumer is always apologizing, as Kevin Hart once pointed out), reports NewsOne.
Now, we have funnyman D.L. Hughley going at actress and transgender woman, Indya Moore (“Pose”). The two were involved in a flaming exchange on social media about the Hart/homophobia concern, with Hughley calling Moore a pu**y.
Via Twitter, Hughley posted a video, saying “f**k them” if they can’t take a joke.
Well played @KevinHart4real! Fuck em if they can’t take a joke!! #TeamDl ??????? pic.twitter.com/gDXIHFExJh

Moore wrote, “White people standing up for racism in comedy. @RealDLHughley. But you can’t see that because gay jokes are so popular and normalized. you can’t balance or evaluate the ethics of an issue you aren’t impacted by or really care brother just stop… You bias!”
Hughley responded with, “I could give less than a damn what you think if u don’t dig it don’t listen! But I’d never apologize for a joke.”
After more back and forth with Moore explaining how she was bullied for being different and the result of so-called jokes. Hughley ended with, “I make a living doing what love, put kids through college, paid for my homes, and travel the world, and still don’t give a sh*t what a pu**y like u thinks.”
Naturally, Twitter had something to say about the situation:
Name calling is the mark of a coward with no ground to stand upon. I haven’t been called a “dickhead” since middle school but today DL Hughley called me one when I named the fact that he’s bullying sister Indya Moore.

Why are you calling her a pussy? Why the fuck is wrong with you? This woman is trying to explain to you why these jokes are dangerous, meanwhile you want to recite all of your accomplishments like having a Netflix deal means you cant be a failure as a human being. foh dude

GLAAD ON KEVIN HART STEPPING DOWN AS OSCARS HOST: ‘HE SHOULD HAVE STEPPED UP’
.@RealDLHughley’s use of the word pussy against a trailblazer like @IndyaMoore reinforces what we already know but so many don’t want to admit: Hughley’s degradation of a woman and @KevinHart4real’s marginalizing of the LGBTQ community both have their roots in toxic masculinity.

DL Hughley be mad as hell about even a hint of racism. But anyone upset about Kevin Hart’s homophobia is a “pussy?”
This is why I don’t even fuck with dude when he’s speaking on rtwitter-tweet tw-align-centerace. He always goes the other way with any other form of oppression.
