Katt Williams Apologizes, “I appreciate my fans within the Mexican community.”

A few days ago, we covered Katt Williams‘ Anti-Mexican rant from his comedy set in Arizona. Just to jog your memory, this is what Katt Williams joked:

“Mothaf*ckas think they can live in this country and pledge allegiance to another country… Do you remember when white people used to say go back to Africa? And we’d have to tell them we don’t want to? So if you love Mexico, bitch, get the f*ck over there!”

After receiving criticism and backlash the comedian apologized for his controversial material. He explained:

“My remarks were not meant to be offensive. I want to apologize if my comedy act was taken out of context. I sincerely appreciate my fans within the Mexican community and would never intentionally go out of my way to offend them.”

Was an apology necessary and if so, why?

    Definitely necessary that he apologized. If Kat Williams knew the history of the Mexican American war and how Mexico LOST the southwest is due to their FIGHT AGAINST THE US AND THEIR SLAVERY POLICY.

    READ ON:
    There was a whole war that Mexicans fought to stop the illegal invasion, which, lest Mr. Williams forget, was being pushed by the slave-owning interests in the United States. It was Southern slaveholders who ignited the war to rip Texas away from Mexico when Anglos refused to accept Mexico’s laws against slavery.

    Mexico had abolished slavery in the early 1800s, way before the Emancipation Proclamation; Mexico even had at least two African-Mexicans as presidents some two hundreds years before Barack Obama was elected president in this country.

    The main catalyst for the Mexican war was the refusal of Mexico to return black slaves–

    IGNORANCE IS FREE KAT WILLIAMS. APOLOGY ACCEPTED.
