0:00.0 | Sup ya beautiful bastards. Hope you've been a fantastic Wednesday. Welcome back to the Philip DeFranco Show and a big note before we get started. |
0:06.4 | This video is essentially part two of a two-part Philip DeFranco show today. We had to release part one earlier in the day as a separate video. |
0:12.8 | Otherwise, the whole show would have gotten suppressed. It's a very heavy topic, but important topic, and I'm specifically not saying what it is because I'm worried that YouTube will crack down on this video as well. |
0:21.6 | And if you haven't watched that video yet, |
0:22.6 | after this video, you can go to the channel page, find it, |
0:24.6 | or it'll be the top link in the description down below. |

1:08.4 | Writing in 2000 while on SNL, I made a terrible decision to do an impersonation of Chris Rock while in Blackface. |
1:13.6 | There is no excuse for this. |
1:14.6 | I am very sorry for making this unquestionably offensive decision and thank all of you for holding me accountable. |
1:19.6 | Now that said, one of the interesting things that has kind of spun off of this story is that there is now a debate around what is and is not blackface. Interestingly enough, one of the people saying that it is not blackface and was actually defending, |
