Following on from the controversy of making a racist comment on this past weeks episode of NWA Powerrr, and his subsequent resignation from the promotion, Jim Cornette made the below comments on his latest podcast.
“It was a starvation joke. Not a race joke! Starvation is a hilarious topic. Whether it was a good joke or a bad joke, it was a joke that has been told on TBS, USA Network, broadcast television stations over a variety of locations for the past 30 years. The point is the joke is suddenly not good for YouTube.”
“I’m not that sorry, cause it was a joke. And if you don’t like the joke, that’s fine, and I’d even apologize for a bad joke. But this goddamn feedback was above and beyond the offense. And I didn’t mean it in any racist way, for fuck’s sake. I think the people that took it instantly as racist think that must be the only thing on people’s minds when they think of black people and chicken. Which that’s a whole nother issue that you’ve got. Cause I’m going for Starvin Marvin.”
“To anyone who was legitimately offended by a bad joke in kinda sort of a way and would accept a reasonable apology, as humans sometimes do … yes, I’m sorry. Because I didn’t intend it that way.”
