eh it goes back to Lenny Bruce but the definition of what is PC changes.

I'm not saying it's a new angle. I'm saying it's an important angle that has always existed and right now Dave is the modern day champion.

It's important for those of us who enjoy it. We don't want our toys taken away. Go piss on some other parade you malcontent.

Comedy has historically been a home for a lot of free speech issues and discussions of what is and isn't taboo, so it makes sense in a way. It's oft overstated though, like how people thinking that protesting Chik-fil-a puts them on the same level as civil rights protesters in the 60s.

It was Louis before he died and he was actually funny.

I'm not saying it's important for you. I'm saying it's important for people who enjoy edgy comedy.

I enjoy it too but I prefer when it's a lot funnier than what Chappelle put out which is why I'm so hard on him. Nomsayin?

Louis pandered to the left a lot. I love Louis and I hope he resurrected but he knew how to set a tone liberal white people would be comfortable with.

Dave Chappelle is pandering to the anti-PC crowd (though I think he's laughing at their predictability just as much as he is at the PC crowd), does that invalidate his championship?
