The Roast of Kevin Hart has everyone talking — and not necessarily in a good way.

While some viewers have praised the special for its raw, unfiltered comedy, others have criticized several jokes about race, slurs, and Kevin's family.

The roast, released on Sunday, notably featured divisive jokes from comedians like Shane Gillis, Tony Hinchcliffe, and others.

For his part, Shane joked about Jeffrey Epstein, lynching, and slavery, at one point saying that Kevin's ancestors "came to America in a slave ship in a bottle."

Tony faced backlash for a George Floyd joke, telling Kevin, "The Black community is so proud of you… right now George Floyd is looking up at us all laughing so hard he can’t breathe."

And jokes about Kevin's late father's crack cocaine addiction were also made throughout the night by multiple comics.

Backlash was strong, with criticism coming from activist Tamika Mallory, comedians Loni Love and Lil Rel Howery, and even George Floyd's family.

And now, Michael Che has weighed in.

The SNL star wrote on Instagram, "White guys and black people joke different. black guy roast like, 'look at this [n-word] shoes!' white roasts are like, 'slavery, math, slain teens, sex crimes, slurs, family secrets..'"

"'Lets do a roast celebrating the career of the most successful black comic in the last 10 years,'" he wrote before adding, "'I love that! who should we get to write it?' He then attached a picture showing an all-white writing team reportedly used by Shane, including comedians Zac Amico, Dan St. Germain, Mike Lawrence, J.P. McDade, and Nick Mullen.

"Cmonnnnnnnnn.. thats not funny?" he concluded.
