Kevin Hart says he’s out as Oscars host after outrage over homophobic tweets
“So I just got a call from the Academy, and that call basically said, ‘Kevin, apologize for your tweets of old or we’re going to have to move and find another host,’” he says in the video. “They’re talking about the tweets from 2009, 2010.”
“I chose to pass, I passed on the apology,” he continues. “The reason I chose to pass is because I’ve addressed this several times. This is not the first time this has come up. I’ve addressed it. I’ve spoken on it. I’ve said where the rights and wrongs were. I’ve said who I am now versus who I was then. I’ve done it. I’ve done it. I’m not going to continue to go back and tap into the days of old when I’ve moved on, and I’m in a completely different space in my life."
“The same energy that went into finding those old tweets could be the same energy put into finding the response to the questions that have been asked years after years after years,” he adds.
Kevin Hart had nothing to apologize for. The creepy queer agenda has become so prevalent to the point that LGBTQRSTUVWXYZ and their perverted 2 percent can drown out common sense and IF you don't allow GLSEN to come into grade schools and promote their perverse lifestyle? You are deemed a "hater".....it's a good thing that GLSEN wasn't around when my kids were in school because I would have yanked them out of there so fast that the principal's head would swim after I read him/her the riot act.........
Of course he had something to apologize for and he did it. Now they want him to apologize again which is dumb.

No, he didn't have shit to apologize for.
He's a comedian...he dogs his own kid
He's entitled to his opinion, he doesn't have to apologize
His audience obviously likes his humor and how he delivers it
**** these fags, queers and confused mental cases
And, the ONLY reason you are 'proceeding with caution'
is because you're a racist who couldn't resist....
A white comedian...you wouldn't be posting the shit you are
I wish Bernie Mac or Richard Pryor were still with us....
Apology...yeah, right..**** you
I can't stand you, you're so phoney and obvious, it's pathetic!
Obviously he had something to apologize for. Thats why he apologized. Doesnt matter that you think he didnt have anything to apologize for. He decided he was going to apologize and did. If you dont like that then you need to take it up with him.
Oh yeah. Keep your homosexual fantasies to yourself. No you cant have sex with me.

It doesn't matter that you think, he 'apologized'
and 'obviously felt', he had something to apologize for.
Obviously, he decided to do what he was being told...then,
and decided, this time, he wasn't going to cave in...doesn't have to!
If any apology is necessary, it is this....
Sorry you're offended...sounds like a personal problem to me
Here are some excerpts from a HuffPost opinion article....
If Kevin Hart Were Really Sorry
What Hart (and many of his fans who agree with his decision) seems to misunderstand is that acknowledging that people were hurt by something that he said does not mean that he has changed the behavior or ideologies that caused the hurt. His internal sense of dealing with it and moving on doesn’t undo the initial harm he caused.
Can he show that he’s realized that he harmed people
and make right on the harm that he caused?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What this writer and her ilk fail to understand,
is that it is not his problem, who is 'hurt' by his material
The problem isn't what he is saying,
the problem is with whoever allows his words,
so much power, to live rent free in their mind
It is not his obligation to change,
in order for others to feel better about themselves.
Who has he harmed?...no one
His internal sense of dealing with it and moving on,
is how he is preventing giving others power over him.
By blaming him, they avoid dealing with their own demons
They use their hurt feelings, to harm him
The double standards, which I will get to,
is what I and others, are beyond fed up with
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Apparently not.
Sure, he may have said he was sorry and that he “sincerely apologized.” But apologies in this way are cheap. A person says “I’m sorry,” and expects a get-out-of-jail-free card. Perpetrators of harm let themselves off the hook by uttering two simple words and acknowledging that they caused pain without taking on the responsibility to learn, grow and change.
true apology, a true acknowledgment of harm done from Hart would involve talking about the implications of his words, not just apologizing for who he used to be. Accountability and apologizing aren’t mutually exclusive, but in Hart’s case and many others, people want their apologies to be the end of the story. They have “I’m sorry” absolve them of the responsibility to be accountable for their work.
But apologizing is like a math problem.
To get the credit, you have to show your work.
In Hart’s case, the work could have looked like discontinuing Seriously Funny, deleting the old tweets before they were found, donating money to LGBTQ organizations, requesting an LGBTQ-identifying host (or even co-host) for the Academy Awards or many other things.
Instead, he chose to focus on our societal sensitivity and inability to accept change, saying the world has “gone crazy” for expecting him to apologize. That is how we know that he has missed the evolution that he claims to have undergone.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
He hasn't missed shit!
He doesn't have to be bullied, into changing into,
what others what to reshape him to be, to make them happy.
He doesn't need to offer apologies,
others need to stop feeling entitled to one!
I'm pissed, not hurt, because I'm labeled negatively,
because to me, homosexuality is perversion, not normalcy.
Its ok to 'hurt' me and harm society but pushing,
homosexuality as normal and those who oppose, bigots.
But, in their own bigotry, they consider me a bigot.
I'm wrong for not accepting homosexuality as normal.
Well...why aren't they wrong for not accepting,
there are those who don't accept homosexuality as normal?
I don't see a demand for the head of PP,
to apologize to everyone hurting for murdered babies.
Who watched the SNL Christmas special?
The opening number was 3 female comedians,
in cute little Santa themed outfits, ho, ho, going,
about all three being with Santa....
Really?! #MeToo and selective outrage, make me sick
How 'bout Will Farrel as the head elf,
belittling, threatening and just plain, being mean,
to the 3 elves, in the toy workshop.
I could go a million avenues there.
A white guy belittling and harassing
midgets and dwarfs for starters.
The PC police pick and choose,
was is not PC and who those offenders are.
They need to know, they will not bully everyone,
into conforming to their nonsense and hypocritical bs
Oh yeah. Keep your homosexual fantasies to yourself. No you cant have sex with me.
So, what are you saying...you like it in the ass?
Trust me darling...I wouldn't **** you with your dick!
