That’s not a straw man. Old, rich white guys are literally everything that’s wrong with everything.

He told an edgy joke. Some people liked it. Some people didn’t. What’s your point. Louis CK suffered zero consequences.

Who is looking over their shoulder? Who is stopping comics from performing their acts? Which gulag have they been put in?

If you’re going to miss the point can you do it somewhere else, please?

I know you think you just said something clever.

The hottest comics now: Louis CK, Amy Schumer, Chris Rock. None of them will be doing the PBS Concert for America anytime soon. “Political Correctness run Amok” is a conservative strawman.

Political correctness is killing hack comedians ability to make rape jokes and mock Chinese people’s accents in their act.

Look, man. We all liked your little show but stay in your lane. Cops’ racism is killing people. I’m not as concerned about the state of comedy.

You almost make my point for me. The only reason anyone in this country is talking about tennis now is because of a black girl from Compton named Williams. A bunch of middling tournaments don’t matter. Serena hasn’t played every competition by design. Arguably, Graf had to play more to make more money. Majors matter

Nothing in Serena’s life has been easy. That’s why she’s still here and everyone else is on Tennis Channel in Liz Clairborne and too much make up. You can dismiss the competition if you want to but the fact remains Serena would have and (and occasionally in fact did: Hingis, Cljisters) eat everybody’s lunch.

Steffi was my favorite tennis player as a kid and she’s HOF, no doubt, but are you comparing what Steffi might have done with what Serena is actually doing/continuing to do? The China Open and the Family Circle Cup are nice but “in all likelihood” Serena will pass Graff and Court in Slams in the next two years:)

Shout out for naming all the black tennis players whose behavior conforms to your personal standards tho.

“I have rarely, if ever, seen her plainly admit defeat in a press conference.”

She hasn’t done anything (less actually) than a lot of, ahem, “other” tennis players haven’t done. McEnroe was an asshole (and I love Johnny Mack). Capriati was a pothead. Hell, Agassi was a crack head. She’s lost her temper like a lot of people. She’s been angry for losing to bums she knows she should have beaten but

Okay that is actually extremely impressive.

Most players quit the tour because they’re tired. You know Serena almost died, right? She didn’t pull a hammy or sprain her elbow. She had a pulmonary embolism. AND she had a torn tendon in her foot. Either one of those injuries would justify hanging it up. But Serena kept playing.

This is horrible obviously so was the father like, “Better she be embarrassed than I do nothing and she goes out and gets drunk again and maybe next time hurts herself or someone else.”

Me: Check her out.
