Legendary comedian Don Rickles died in 2017 at age 90. If he were still alive in today's woke society, he would be burned at the stake. Watch his Saturday Night Live monologue from 1984 and prepare for self-righteous heads to explode. Part of the Rickles SNL monologue included this line: "I make jokes about Black people cuz I'm not one." The crowd roared with laughter as Rickles went on to imitate Blacks, Italians, Puerto Ricans, Chinese, and other races and ethnicities. Huge audience laughter. This week, the woke castmates on SNL are upset that business tycoon Elon Musk is the guest host. Why? Because he's a rich white guy. That's his crime. Some SNL "comedians" are hesitant to appear on stage with Musk. When did

Jokes are jokes. Just because you’re offended doesn’t mean you’re right.
What she said. #nailedit your average Hollywood bigshot is no more knowledgeable or interesting on the great issues of our time than my great aunt Gladys. My take on why @rickygervais got it right. https://t.co/GZvtAQRCjR— Kay Hymowitz (@KayHymowitz) January 7, 2020 What he said. #nailedit 1. Simply pointing out whether someone is left or right wing isn't winning the argument. 2. If a joke is good enough, it can be enjoyed by anyone.3. It's not all about you. 4. Just because you're offended, doesn't mean you're right.— Ricky Gervais (@rickygervais) January 8, 2020 Gervais' most poignant moment came when he torched Apple, Amazon, and Disney for their oppressive, skinflint labor practices. Apple CEO Tim Cook was in the audience and could
NBA lapdogs fear Chinese market erosion over one GM’s support for Hong Kong
So Mike D'Antoni refuses to tell Chinese fans that people in the NBA have the right to free expression, but he was more than willing to say this exact thing to American fans who were disappointed with political displays from players. https://t.co/eqHMUB3lal pic.twitter.com/yHhoftHgNh— trick-or-treater (@neontaster) October 10, 2019 NBA officials are falling over themselves to appease Chinese leaders after the Houston Rockets' GM tweeted support for Hong Kong's quest for freedom. All of the usual SJW chirping birds are suddenly silent. Remember all of the times that the WOKE players in the NBA took a stand on behalf of Trayvon Martin, Mike Brown, Tamir Rice, et. al? Why did the WOKEY WOKE warriors in the NBA get cold feet when it
Don’t you worry your pretty old man bald head about these things
Let's get caught up on our allegedly genderless society's struggles between them and thems. 2018 has been a brutal struggle for the entire culture as it has spun off into singular-issue tribes. For simplification purposes, let's just stick to (if you will allow these antiquated terms) men vs. women -------- VOX THE WAVES OF FEMINISM NATIONAL REVIEW THE PRICE OF FEMINISM TIME WHAT VICTORY WILL LOOK LIKE FOR FEMINISTS IN 2018 (written last February) Remember that November focused on gender? Yeah. It was 1963 and Andy Griffith was getting his first taste of STFU by angry people who identify as women. The struggle is timeless. America is losing its soul through the crushing of free speech. The Coddling of the American Mind is
Muhammad Ali? Never heard of him.
Imagine how Muhammad Ali would have been destroyed by today's virtue signaling youth once they heard his views promoting racial segregation. The internet mob would have chased Ali into oblivion for pulling at the corners of his eyelids to imitate a Chinese man. "They love (their) little slant-eyed pretty brown skin babies." On mixed race children, Ali asked "Who want to spot up yourself and kill your race? You're a hater of your race if you don't wanna stay who you are. You ashamed of what God made you?" But Ali is forgiven for his brash promotion of racial segregation during the 1960s (and well into the 80s). He was simply spouting his religious beliefs according to his mentor Elijah Muhammad,
UK President Capilouto and UofL’s Dr. Ricky Jones on cultural upheaval, race, confederacy rallies, and free speech
University of Kentucky President Dr. Eli Capilouto visited my radio studio today to talk about UK growth, confederacy rallies, free speech, race, and student body diversity. Dr. Ricky Jones, an education colleague of Capilouto's, was also in my radio studio to chat with the UK president on cultural issues. Dr. Jones and I discussed colorblind relief help during Houston flooding and the number of people who are trying to get him fired from UofL, the newspaper, and our radio station.
America is vag-ing out – Nasty girls unite!
Actress @AshleyJudd recites a beat poem about being a “nasty woman” at #WomensMarch https://t.co/EGN6efPzCq— Bradd Jaffy (@BraddJaffy) January 21, 2017 In with the Trump, in with the hysteria. Faded celebs are losing their minds over The Donald. Ashley Judd went vaggie loco again. But in a good way. She slammed a damning poem that was one part brilliant and two parts crazy. Ash's rant was but a small part of domestic discord. (Her sister Wynona stayed out of the kerfuffle).

Comedy in the culture of apology
Millennial: "I don't judge people." Me: "You lock your door, don't you?" Millennial: "Yes." Me: "Then you're judging people, dipstick." Of course locking your door doesn't make you judgmental. It's a joke about sound judgment related to known threats in society, the same judgment needed to select your kid's school and the neighborhood you call home. Is comedy dead in a perpetually aggrieved society? Nope. It's just limited to self-deprecation or vilification of oppressive white dudes. The very black Chris Rock isn't allowed to excoriate faulty African Americans any longer. This brilliant comedy piece is 20 years old. Another masterful bit from Rock is entitled How to Not Get Your Ass Kicked By The Police. Today's #BlackLivesMatter hypersensitivity keeps Rock from doing this type of
