Michael Che criticizes ‘The Roast of Kevin Hart’ jokes by white people

Michael Che has called out The Roast of Kevin Hart for jokes about "slavery", "s*x crimes" and "slurs."

The 42-year-old Saturday Night Live star didn't appear at the live Netflix event over the weekend, but he has noted a difference in style between the subject matter for white and black people.

Taking to Instagram, he wrote, "White guys and Black people joke different. Black guy roast like, ‘look at this n**** shoes!’”

"White roasts are like, ‘Slavery, math, slain teens, s*x crimes, slurs, family secrets.’ White guys don’t give a f*** about they shoes,” he ranted.

In a later post, he highlighted the number of white writers involved with Sunday. May 11, roast.

He quipped, "Lets do a roast celebrating the career of the most successful black comic in the last 10 year.”

"I love that! who should we get to write it?" Michael exclaimed.

The next slide of his post was a photo of some of the white writers involved, including Nick Mullen, J.P. McDade, Mike Lawrence, Dan St. Germain, and Zac Amico.

The telecast did feature 17 credited writers, several of whom are black.

While he didn't name any comics, there were a number of edgy jokes made during the roast.

Shane Gillis referenced slavery and lynching in jokes about Kevin Hart's height, while Tony Hinchcliffe was criticised online for a joke about George Floyd.
