It is when the Black and brown ones are the ones in the most danger of being harmed. So because white ones might not face blowback from Dave's "jokes", doesn't matter, huh?

True...that isn't why he walked away. But I remember him expressing discomfort about that when some white guy on set during the Niggards sketched laughed a bit too hard. Even if that wasn't the final straw, i'm quite sure it was a contributing factor.

Then boo hoo for their sensitive asses. Clearly he CAN say anything, cuz he just did and got $60 mil for it. so their "feeling" is just them wanting free speech then wanting to silence the criticism when it comes, just as freely.

that's some hypocritical bullshit and its the exact sensitivity that they themselves complain about.

Point being, EVERYONE is sensitive..those telling the jokes AND those on the receiving end. There is nothing wrong with being sensitive.
