Again, Dave walked away from $50 million contract. I don’t think he cares if a few people get offended.
Ricky Gervais offended some people with Bruce Jenner jokes. His response was brilliant. Worth a view if you’re interested in that kinda stuff.

I don’t see your point in any of these. I’m highlighting the double standard given to blacks and liberals in our society when it comes to being vocal.
White men who are mildly right wing will not get away with saying these things.

The point is that the double standard doesn’t really exist unless someone like Owen Benjamin succumbs to it.
Chapelle was told how his show was going to be and he said “No!”
Benjamin was told how his show was going to be and he rolled.
The standard isn’t the joke itself. The standard is people trying to reign in comics. George Carlin made a career of telling those folks to go friend themselves. In fact the “7 words you can’t say on television” is comedy platinum legend.

Owen didn’t he is still around. I don’t keep up with the guy much. He faced more backlash than Dave ever has for dipping into racist comedy. He is even considered “alt right”.

Owen is just a
bag and not funny at all. It's really not so much about the content as it's about the delivery. Chappelle is one of the greatest at the nuances of comedy.

Chapelle has a black pass that allows him to explore those avenues of comedy. Most white people are walking on egg shells if they even attempt to go into that area. I don’t need a lecture from a privileged black man on how society treats us whites.Owen is just a

If people even pose as white people anonymously on the internet and deny the holocaust or call for Jews to be killed they are labeled hateful bigots and need to be placed on a list.
If al sharpton does it in real life with a Jew actually being killed he gets a tv show.
Just privileged black things.

I don't know much about Owen's comedy but I do know Chappelle is great------although he does get a "free pass " for stuff that if a white guy said it he would be drummed out of the business.Owen is just a
Yeah as opposed to all these rappers smackin bitches and killin hoes
Gervais is pretty far left wing. He had huge backlash from his Golden Globe appearance.
Get over your whiteness. That’s not where it’s at. There are some who try to limit comics of every color and political spectrum. Most comics just have to learn to take it. The best are able to turn the critics into their punchlines.

That is the culture these days.
It's like it's not good enough to be equal to and accepted as Whites are ... they are not satisfied unless non-Whites feel superior to Whites.
Asians really are ... including Indians.

Some comics are limited more than others. Mainly right wing white ones. Quit lecturing me from a point of privilege, you’re a bourgeois black liberal man. Everything wrong with society these days.
