Michael Ian Black Sides With Samantha Bee, Undermines His Own Message

Actor Michael Ian Black clearly did not have a problem with Samantha Bee’s vulgar attack on first daughter Ivanka Trump. He tweeted Thursday, “we are all c**ts today.”

We are all cunts today.

But Black himself has had a volatile relationship with that particular word. In 2016, he included it in a list of ethnic, racist, and sexist slurs that people should avoid calling each other.

Don’t call people:

Cunts
Faggots
Niggers
Kikes
Spics

Avoid those words and you should be ok.

However, Black failed to take his own advice on a number of occasions. In just the past year, he has used it several times to attack people who disagreed with him over whether or not the National Rifle Association (NRA) is a terrorist organization (he believes it is).

Was saving this one, you cunt.

The gun killed them. The gun. He was just an impotent kid with mental issues. He had a weapon of war, legally obtained. He used it to kill a town. It was the gun and the terrorist organization that put it in his hands. Say it with me, you heartless cunt – It. Was.The. Gun. https://t.co/eduA2OtLFe

Just days before using the term with abandon against someone who disagreed on gun control, Black had apologized for once using it against former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin.

But I apologize now for using the word then. If you want, you guys can also find a tweet in which I called Sarah Palin a “cunt”. I shouldn’t have said that, either.

He had gone after Palin in 2010 because she had publicly criticized then President Barack Obama.

@SarahPalinUSA Please give slamming the president a rest today. You can go back to being a cunt tomorrow.

Black has used the word in a total of 37 tweets, many directed at people with whom he disagrees politically.
