What I should of said is How do you keep a welfare recipient in suspense?
Hide his welfare check under his work boots!
No you did not.

Funny joke on his part. Also, a very racially insensitive joke. Louis got away with it though. Do you think the reaction would have been the same if a right-winger had made that same joke?
You know why he gets away with stuff? Because he doesn't actually believe what he says. He's making fun of people who actually do believe or think that way.

The point is why use the adjective black? How does that make the joke any funnier?

Because it was purposely meant to trigger. I get a laugh at your expense daily. That type of joke.
It wasn't meant to be hateful or "racist" it was to get a laugh. Do your feelings need to be coddled?
Life gets way tougher than that...

It has silenced an entire generation.

liberals are really closet authoritarians. You either do it their way or you get outcast from the institutions which they control which include corporations and colleges in the name of "political correctness" and whatever else they happen to be peddling at the time.

Ultimately most humans are like this regardless of their political affiliations along with being hypocrites.. the liberal elite who whine about climate change and try to stop us from doing this and that meanwhile they fly around on private jets and own 10,000 square foot homes with 7 bathrooms and whatnot. Hired their armed security while trying to disarm us.. basically the rules don't apply to them.

Anyone that doesn't fly a booked commercial airline and has their own private jet has no right to whine about climate change to the rest of the population... those planes use gas in gallons per hour.

You can tell whatever jokes you want. You can use racial slurs if ya wish. It don't bother me. Do not expect it not to bother others.


The fact is black in that joke is a useless adjective.


If people don't like some of the things I say that's their problem.

Identity jokes have been around since laughter.
