Comic George Lopez was booed off stage at a gala for juvenile diabetes in Denver last week, over an anti-Donald Trump routine that fell flat with the crowd.

We’re told the flap began when Trump backer and Liberty Media CEO Greg Maffei donated $250,000 but requested that Lopez cool it with the anti-Trump jokes at the Carousel Ball.

An attendee at the event — where tables sold from $5,000 to $100,000 to benefit the Barbara Davis Center for Diabetes — commented on a YouTube video that “George was asked nicely to stop making Trump jokes by a man in front row [Maffei] who just donated $250K.” But “George doesn’t, continues. Gets booed.”

We’re told that Lopez responded to Maffei, “Thank you for changing my opinion on old white men, but it doesn’t change the way I feel about orange men.”

Trying to recover and sensing the audience turn, Lopez said, “Listen, it’s about the kids . . . I apologize for bringing politics to an event. This is America — it still is. So I apologize to your white privilege.”

“So much winning.”

One more thing...since he doesn’t like the white man then he needs to stop receiving their money.

What a piece of crap. Who the hell was the person who decided that anyone with a last name commonly found in Spanish-speaking countries was specially-privileged and automatically had moral superiority, preference in hiring and college, and immunity from accusations of racism from all those lower on the race privilege totem pole?

Like Rush keeps saying...”This is what pushing back looks like.” They will get the message sooner or later. We’re tired of ignoring this crap...start yelling back at them.

Lopez is rabidly anti-american and pro illegal immigration. You could not pay me to listen to his sick version of “comedy.” A real jackass IMHO.

“So I apologize to your white privilege.”

I’d have hit him square in the face with my cocktail tumbler.

Leftards just have to politicize every group, venue, and forum they get near. They think they always own the “platform” to spew whatever diatribes they wish, even when the purpose(s) of an event and audience for an event may be very different.

It is exactly like all the NFL idiots who think they own a “platform” to propagandize the fans on leftist political/social issues. No, sorry guys, we can tune out, turn off, and say F-U !!! Your “platform” only exists so long as we say it does.

You’re correct that Lopez’s entire act is, “I’m Mexican.” From that stem, “White people think they are better than brown people” and “You owe us”. In addition, an uber-WASPY friend of mine who attended a private event at which Lopez performed told me, “You know, Lopez’s humor seems to be pro-Mexicans, but, at least in smaller settings, it’s clear he is actually contemptuous of Mexicans, thinks he is better than other Mexicans and Mexican-Americans, and is himself desperate to be accepted by rich, white Americans.”

Trying to recover and sensing the audience turn, Lopez said, “Listen, it’s about the kids . . . I apologize for bringing politics to an event. This is America — it still is. So I apologize to your white privilege.”

The entire notion of "White Privilege" is racist, evil, and an attempt to dehumanize others. Dehumanization is the tactic of the wicked, and leads to persecution, oppression, demonetization, and ultimately, violence or even genocide.

Never, ever give ground to those who attempt to accuse you of "White Privilege." It is an evil tactic meant to disarm you from defending yourself against the most outrageous and false charges. If you accept their premise of "White Privilege", and allow an entire of race of people to be declared guilty simply by existing, then you open the door to their further attacks of increasing ferocity and magnitude.

In the 1930's, the rhetoric at Sturmabteilung (SA - or Brown Shirts) gathering in Germany was full of references to "Jewish Privilege." The Nazis claimed that Jews had all the money and power, and therefore, they had to be disarmed (literally) and opposed. Today, this very same attack has resurfaced on college and university campuses today:

The people that perpetuate and spread these lies and propaganda are villainous, malicious, foul, and sinful.

NEVER give in to them.

Here’s another booooooo!

In 2009, he did an HBO special where he was just as bad. Told very unfunny jokes about illegal aliens wiping their butts on gringos’ lettuce. It was discussed on FR. That was the last time he was allowed on my tv.

Lopez said, “Listen, it’s about the kids . . . I apologize for bringing politics to an event. This is America — it still is. So I apologize to your white privilege.”

Nothing like throwing in a nasty insult into your apology to win friends and influence people. Lopez is not funny and he's a real dumbass.

[Dawgreg]

Good.

And I say “riddence”............;) He’s a disgrace like most actors, comics like himself thinking they’re funny and people are getting fed up.........FINALLY!!!

[forgotten man]

What an ageist and racist pig. The event was to raise money to fight diabetes and Mexicans have a very high rate of diabetes, which George Lopez deserves. Fat Mexicans, like George Lopez are at especially high risk for diabetes.

[hal ogen]

Yet another LIB hack and bum. He should be shunned. Never buy a ticket for his useless “show”.

[EdnaMode]

Good news!

[Intolerant in NJ]

But “George doesn’t, continues. Gets booed.”...could it be that masochistic whites have finally had enough of being the targets of venomous not so funny comedians talking about their racism, privilege and stupidity???.....

[Rastus]

I stopped watching Everybody Loves Raymond on TV Land because I was not going to tolerate the incessant ads for Lopez or their horrible Teachers show that thrusts children into sexual situations. Sick, sick stuff.
