I have so many books. Realistically I\u2019m not gonna read all those books. He knows that. But the fact that I bought them says I love you. They\u2019re little monuments around my apartment just like \u2018look at this book from Amazon that I\u2019m never gonna read.\u2019 I sometimes joke to him that our relationship is like that of a slave and a master\u2019s son  \u2014 who, like, teaches me how to read by candlelight.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Carmichael received backlash when the last part of the joke was posted online without context, with users calling him a \u201cdanger to the Black Queer community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"cutid1\"\/>The comedian defended  himself on the Breakfast Club, saying \u201canybody who watches the show knows it&#8217;s not what I said. It\u2019s so false, it&#8217;s so untrue, and I don&#8217;t like that because it&#8217;s like\u2026 it has nothing to do with my boyfriend. It has nothing [to do with] the sex that we have. It has nothing to do with sex. It&#8217;s something that people have been reporting on and I really really don&#8217;t like it,\u201d and that the context of the joke was &#8220;about my boyfriend reading so much that he makes me feel insecure about my level of reading.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>\u201cLook, I get it. It&#8217;s something that people have been running with because I have a white boyfriend, so like people try and create some type of crazy story out of that. And it&#8217;s a small group of people. I read all the tweets and it&#8217;s like, some gay Black men and some Klu Klux Klan members who don&#8217;t like that I have a white boyfriend. They agree on that, so congratulations. But he&#8217;s a human being. He deserves respect. I deserve respect. I don&#8217;t appreciate things being misreported\u2026 I&#8217;m a human being and people can get hurt. They&#8217;re actually real lives at stake with the things that you say. Come after me, that&#8217;s fine, but don&#8217;t come after like my boyfriend.\u201d<a name=\"cutid1-end\"\/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=_13DQ5DG7m4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">1<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/EW\/status\/1780273983041966278\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">2<\/a> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/ohnotheydidnt.livejournal.com\/128213386.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jerrod Carmichael is responding to the backlash from his &#8216;slave play&#8217; joke, which he says was taken out of context: &#8216;It has nothing to do with sex.&#8217; https:\/\/t.co\/HXNEiUajRW \u2014 Entertainment Weekly (@EW) April 16, 2024 In a stand up routine on the Jerrod Carmichael Reality Show, Carmichael joked about his relationship with his boyfriend. \u201cMy [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":90682,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-90681","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-hollywood"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/entertainment.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/90681","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/entertainment.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/entertainment.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/entertainment.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/entertainment.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=90681"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/entertainment.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/90681\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/entertainment.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/90682"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/entertainment.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=90681"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/entertainment.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=90681"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/entertainment.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=90681"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
