As Larry the Cableguy says-"I don't care who you are, that's funny right there" yeah that's Lewis Black. He's an intelligent comedian.
Black in small doses is VERY funny. That shtick where he walks out of a Starbucks....looks across the street and see's another Starbucks is hilarious.

Haven't seen him in a couple of years, but I bet he could do a pretty good RIF (in his classic angry exasperated man shtick) on the snowflakes with ski masks and also on the BLM group.

There was an intersection in Houston that had a Starbucks on three out of four corners.

I think that was it. Shepard & W. Gray.

(an 8 y/o can throw a rock from the front door of one and hit the other).

Black calls it The End of the Universe.

Do a binge watch of his show and you'll see the amazing number of minority extras, minor parts, and guest actors who have appeared; led by a large number of blacks.

The "Black's Life Matters" joke was just a bad pun.
Yes.

No, no it wasn't.

It was *funny*. A few shrieking harlots getting the vapors and clutching their pearls do not get to define everything in this world.

IT. WAS. FUNNY.

Seinfeld. Funny
Black. Funny, although I haven't heard a lot of his stuff.
Political Correctness. Not funny.

There is a huge difference between [everyday non-PC actions and voices that are not funny and should not be excused - because it is meant seriously and can be damaging] and [comedians telling jokes - even if the joke is in bad taste.]

In fact it is the job of a comedian to joke and sometimes to shock and cajole the audience into thinking about a variety of subjects. Someone listening to a comedian and complaining that the joke was raw or insulting without considering the source or reason is pretty stupid; kind of like going to a pornography website and complaining that there were naked people there and you are offended.

But don't forget that like anything a else a comedian - or a porn site can go too far. IMHO, anyone who is offended by this Seinfeld joke is trying too hard to be offended.

Nothing says "mature adult" like calling people you don't agree with "moronic."

You stay classy, Bella.
