    Not even black comedians are safe from the PC police. This is what happens when everything is offensive to everyone. We need to rid of this fascist environment. It's insidious and will devour all in its path to total censorship.

    Never liked this guy but didn't dislike him either.

    This reason for firing him is (*)(*)(*)(*)ing pathetic.

    PC cancer strikes again ...for literally no reason than to trigger outrage and fill some hole in pathetic "feels" driven people.

    What "PC police"? The only "political correctness" you could possibly read in that piece was from his suggesting (maybe as a joke, but the kind of joke that is meant to have truth behind it) that he couldn't use his usual material because there were white people in the audience and he basically blamed America's Got Talent for that. He then claims to have been told they were considering whether he'd breached his contract and chose to just quit in a conveniently public fashion.

    Dont know him at all but he absolutely is a casualty of the PC police.

    If Richard Pryor was up and coming today he would never have made it.

    Bit early to say but you're probably right that Trump wouldn't have it.

    No, he didn't blame AGT for not being able to do white jokes. He blamed NBC for threatening to fire him after he ridiculed PC culture.

    This is true. Most of today's biggest comedians won't step foot on a college campus for a show.

    Too bad I never said that. Might want to check whom you are replying to.
