Then dont support him if you dont agree with his message or find him funny. This PC culture is ruining comedy. Jerry Seinfeld said he wont speak at colleges for this very reason. People are way too sensitive and need to grow a pair.
So is it time to make jokes about slavery and the holocaust?
That makes no sense. Something doesn't have to pertain to me in order for it to be offensive.
It kinda makes you a snowflake. Being coached to be offended by things being said that don't pertain to you is how we've gotten to this point in society where people get offended over the color of coffee cups.
You certainly can disagree and feel empathy for those who are targeted. I'm not black or latino but for sure feel empathy for blacks or latinos who have racist acts committed against them.

You certainly can disagree and feel empathy for those who are targeted, certainly. I'm not black but for sure feel empathy for blacks who have racist acts committed against them.
Hogwash.
What damn good is "empathy," when the acts that might could spur those crocodile tears are truly offensive?
So, it is OK to promote and enjoy racist humor, as long as one can empathetically mumble, "I am one truly empathic S.O.B, cuz I feel your pain?"

Being coached? What the hell are you talking about?

That's called being offended at something that doesn't pertain to you.
Of course comedians say all sorts of things and it's all jokes. But Louis CK promoting rape culture is a sign of a dirty creep. There are better ways for Improv Raleigh to make a buck. Not great for a new comedy club trying to make it in this difficult area - there are reporters here trying to "get a statement" from the owner. Yup, I did venture out to eat in this cold
He’s far beyond promoting rape culture.
I like edgy comedy. Daniel Tosh, love him. Anthony Jeselnik, love him even more. But a dude who does what CK has done, trying to come back without really actually admitting to it and trying to make things right just isn’t up my alley.

He really actually admitted to the allegations, publicly, more than a year ago. I don't really see an outstanding debt owed to anyone here.
