    I saw the bit when he did it twenty years ago. I’ll agree that it was in poor taste, but he was specifically mocking a single person, karl malone, who is a terrible person.

    He wasn’t mocking an entire race of people. Black face is a different concept where it uses white actors to poorly portray generic black americans, not specific people. It’s a different thing than what kimmel did in these sketches, though again, it was in poor taste.
