this makes you realize how soft and insecure todays comics are. complaining in their multi-million dollar netflix specials that they arent allowed to say anything about trans, gays, etc.

The link shows Carlin was soft and insecure after 9-11
>he said punching down is wrong. period. > >and he was right. > >d
Yeah it's not punching down Caitlyn Jenner got roasted at Alec Baldwin's Comedy Central roast, didn't come across as punching down.
Plus the gays and trans support insult comics like Joan Rivers(when she was alive) and Lisa Lampanelli.

and pretending he wouldn't find all this shit as ridiculous as Chappele, Seinfeld and the rest of them do, based on something he said before anyone even knew what the internet was

...what he said would suggest the exact opposite? LOL.
8. "in that clip he was talking about Dice Clay" In response to Reply # 0 Sun Sep-29-19 06:42 AM by Dr Claw
and in retrospect, I think for a while, he was making FUN of those winga-dinga "wish it were still Grease" type folks with his act on some meta shit. He played a character called "Dice" on some TV show, I can't recall, and then just took that character to the stage.
the funniest shit Dice ever did was when he abandoned the act for one show and just bullshitted for the entire set until everyone walked out. That was his album THE DAY THE LAUGHTER DIED. one of the funniest things I've ever heard.
people also miss the part where Carlin says "he would defend him for the right to do what he does" whilst also criticizing his content in a way that seems oh-so-relevant today. in particular, highlighting the fact that "Dice" was actually Jewish and that Jewish people are generally on "the list" of people targeted by the (then, proto-)MAGA types who lap this shit up. shit has gotten even more blatant now (shout out to PooPooPie)
also, people reposting that clip ought to post the OG poster on Twitter's entire thread of Carlin clips. Carlin says a lot that has been echoing in my head for the last few years on repeat. but alt-centrist types would be mad at him saying:
42. "Demographics and economics?" In response to Reply # 41
Among adults who identify as transgender, 55 percent identify as white, 16 percent identify as African-American or black, 21 percent identify as Latino or Hispanic, and 8 percent identify as another race or ethnicity.
45. "55%-45% =/= overwhelmingly middle class/wealthy white men" In response to Reply # 44
a small shift of 5 percentage points would make it dead even white to non-white.
what you cited doesnt even break down gender or economics.
im not sure why anyone would think the trans community would be majority minority to begin with. but all you did was prove that its more diverse than most people think and certainly not overwhelmingly white.
46. "bruh, you can't lump all ethnicities into white and non-white" In response to Reply # 45 Thu Oct-03-19 06:44 PM by kayru99
That is exactly why "POC" is fuckshit.
The most represented ethnic demo in the trans community is white people (over half of the community is white...that's fucking overwhelming). & Most trans people, period, are males identifying as women. Trans community is overwhelmingly white, and male.
48. "maybe in the US ... MAYBE. world wide not even close to true" In response to Reply # 31
seen tons of trans folks around the world that are not white nor even close to wealthy. that's part of why i don't like this lionization of jenner, she doesn't face the struggle the majority of trans people do, not even close to close.
And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.
