Yo if you haven’t watched his special on Netflix, please watch it. It’s edgy and controversial but it’s funny as hell and very much so on point. He uses his comedy to discuss today issues in America. He gives his opinion on what the current events are and to be honest he ain’t that wrong about it in my opinion. He talks about the dumb shit Jussie Smollett accused white men of doing, that’s been proved false. He talks about abortion rights and I agree with part of his point that a women should not be forced to have a child.

He talks about the conflict schools have regarding the shooting occurring in them. Whether to have these drills to prepare the children. While at the same time paralyzing and scaring the kids to be in school to a degree because of this reality. The answer to that may never be known because the world we live in today, people don’t respect common decency, nor share boundaries that innocent children are off limits.

He speaks a real truth about the gun situation in America. Many dont believe in them, but because of the dangers of people, they have them to protect themselves and their families. He makes light of the poor and disenfranchised because as he said he too was once poor. He discusses Michael Jackson and R Kelly sex issues. He gives his opinion on why he believes one set of accusers over the others. It is in my mind a fascinating view of the world from one of the best comedians within in.

He gets personal and discusses a situation on his talk show that to me encapsulate the world view today from the top down and I’m firmly behind him, being a member of the LGBTQ+ community. He talked about being censored on his show because he wanted to use the derogatory gay term faggot. He asked the head of that department why cant he use that word but they didn’t censor him from using nigger and he had no punitive measure for doing so. He said, she told him because he’s not gay so he can’t use the word faggot. He retorted, I’m not a nigger either. And said there was silence.

What a powerful statement and illustration to make. The world still sees negative black terms as narrowly acceptable if said by a black person, but a derogatory gay word isnt acceptable. Maybe none of the insensitive, incendiary words should be used.

I’m intentionally not giving details of the special because I need you to watch and listen. Make your own conclusions and hey come back here and let’s discuss.
