Washed up 90s Hercules Blacksplaining what it means to be black

Hey white people...sit this one out.

Impressing that somehow this makes sense in his head.

Never go full Sorbo

This would be a god-tier shitpost if it weren't real

As a nerdy kid with longish hair and few male role models, I really, really looked up to this guy. Hercules, Xena, Kull, and then Andromeda.

He fell off my radar for a while but I was pleasantly entertained when I found him in the Mythica series. I'd always thought well of him.

Eventually I heard about God Is Not Dead and looked into the rest of his more right wing work... Its really heartbreaking when people you respected or even idolized as a kid turn out to be so... gross and just... weird.

Now he again pops up on my radar with stupid shit like this. So sad.

I know I say this a lot but that might be the worst thing Kevin Sorbo has tweeted

Wait, what if she can’t and then a white person says it?

Does that make the white person instantly black? What if people cheer? Does that make the person black?

I have so many questions.

from the people who brought you transvestigating: introducing blackvestigating.

totally not weird, guys. they're very very normal.

Interesting how it takes literal brain damage to come up with a modern conservative's take.

Is this real?

DISAPPOINTED!

what a weird thing to say.

I wonder what the last president to publicly say the nword was. Like, not Obama alone in the oval office giggling to himself, but a president casually dropping it while doing official president things like a speech or meeting.

Edit: so a quick Google told me Obama used it on a podcast once (while president), so I guess the boring answer is indeed Obama

Said if before, and I'll say it again: this guy has had multiple strokes. But he's still a massive, gaping asshole.

Let's say she's hypothetically not black...

Nothing changes at all. She's still a better candidate. She's not a criminal and she could lie 100 times a day and still be well below Trumps lie quota

Trump is so unbelievably bad I don't think the right wing realises the extent they would need to go to, to discredit her to make Trump seem better.

Stupid small jabs like this change nothing. They could win if they dumped Trump. But they won't...

Trump identifies as a successful businessman which is a bigger lie. Successful criminal yeah

That being said, she's obviously black. Maybe he should stick to lies which aren't visually obvious (like claim she's stupid, which isn't true either)

Serious question. Did Kevin have some sort of brain damaging event or is he just this stupid. I know like everyone thought Busey was just crazy but then it turned out he had a motorcycle accident that fucked him up.

Slorpo you say it and see how people react... What's right wingers obsession with slurs anyways?

Why does Kevin Sorbo rail against being woke and yet is too politically correct to say the N-word?

i for one am thankful that kevin sorbo exists, to provide someone for lucy lawless to eviscerate

Honestly there are layers to this stupidity about Kamala's race. For anyone who thinks about it for even a moment, even if she's doing what they say she is, it reflects poorly only on them, not her.

Copy/pasting a prior response to save myself some typing:

EVEN IF their accusations were true, the conditions encouraging someone to hide their race weren’t created by Kamala Harris. They were created by racist bigots. And racist bigots these days tend to gravitate towards one party more than the other. The very clear defense would be "I had to hide my race so that bigots like you would judge me for my accomplishments, not my skin tone." (even though folks like that wouldn't consider Indian to be much of an upgrade)

Literally no one who isn't a bigot cares about this. They are outing themselves and nothing more.

He’s such a washed up loser. Xena was the better show.

I've never liked Hercules, but man, this guy is ruining Andromeda for me.

Let’s hear you say “intelligent” out loud and let listeners decide for themselves, Sorbo.

Kamala Harris: "Ok, Kev. You're a nincompoop. That's the N-word you meant, right?"

Idk who this is, but kind of funny on a 4chan edge lord level. I'm guessing context is important here and I'm missing it

This man is just a fountain of bad takes.

Kevin Sorbo is only slightly less disappointing than JK Rowling and Graham Linehan. It boggles my mind that there are so many of my childhood idles who decide that making other people feel bad is the hill that they want to die on.

He looks and acts like the guy that would call black people the N-word with hard R.

I hope they continue on this crusade to prove she isn't black, this will convince no one new to vote for them. Take all the time in the world to obsess over it.

Secondly, it hinges on the racist notion that black voters will vote for her simply because she is black, which is not true.

Its foundation is wrong and its impact is negligible, please republicans, stay on this thread.

That's whitesplaining. (Because Kevin Sorbo is, in fact, white.)

There is a 1:1 correlation between being deeply concerned about how black Kamala Harris is and thinking that calling someone a racist is just as bad as saying the N-word.

That guy is a perpetual Not the Onion post

Sorbo needs to hire a better team to run his Twitter account.

The current team is making him look like a fucking idiot.

How's he gonna tell someone to say a word he won't say?

And does saying a word make you black? I heard plenty of white people say it. Are they all black now?

I honestly thought this was a bad joke or sarcasm. The fact that it's not is absolutely nuts.

Nazi. There I said it…

I wonder how black he thinks he is when no one is around

What the fuck

He must be addressing his friends. Decent people aren't questioning her racial identity.

Ok, so who is this weird nobody anyway?

Jerk-ules needs to go back under his rock.

As a Key and Peele sketch? This would be amazing (somewhat reminiscent of Obama needing to know the ethnicity of certain people he was greeting at a press event).

In reality? The fuck is it with crackers and an obsession with saying the n-word? Well.. we all know why. But still.

To me it seems like statements like this are just meant to provoke a reaction. There really are people who get their jollies from arguing, regardless what the argument is about or which side of it they’re taking.

They’re also known to guard bridges and demand tribute from travelers.

Also, I think people who love upsetting others suck.

Shit like this is weird to be fixated on.

Okay there, lil' peanut

Mansplaining means explaining things while being a man, so blacksplaining must mean explaining things while being black. I just learned Kevin Sorbo is black.

I have a dollar here that says Sorbo tries his own run for president sooner or later, trying for the same Trump base.

Dammit, Peanut -- Lucy Lawless is gonna murder you with words. Again.

This cant be real, there is no way one man can be this stupid.

TBH, I could see her calling her white Jewish husband the n-word (with a soft "a" at the end) after he's made one too many dad jokes.

A half-white/half-black friend of mine was bullied pretty bad. He handled it pretty well and made up the term "cragger" to describe his racial identity.

I'm sure Jercules doesn't understand that people who are secure in their skin won't feel the need to play identity politics.

Right, I almost forgot about this weirdo among all the other weirdos.

Woooow.

you guys have NO FUCKING IDEA, now many times people have asked me to do this during voice chat in a game because I lack a "Blaccent" when I talk.
