Murphy, Pryor, and to a much later and much lesser extent, Chris Rock.

They made racism (whether black on white or white on black) sound absurd. It became the butt of all jokes to be a racist. Rock turned into a leftist eventually, but his early stuff was reminiscent of the old Murphy and Pryor routines.

Everybody just forgets we had a black president for 8 years. The only black person to ever lead a white majority nation in the history of the Earth.

It just shows you it was never about equality. It was about black supremacy and anti-white hate. America was the least racist country on Earth.

The sad truth is that the majority of blacks cannot handle freedom. They finally achieved racial equality, with absolutely real signs that any kind of systemic racism had been eradicated, and they couldn't handle it. The same thing happened after the civil war. Blacks didn't know what to do with themselves, and many of them preferred to stay with their former masters. It has happened again.

American blacks need the victim narrative. It's their identity that they've been taught since birth. It's their culture to be victims of a white oppressor. When one doesn't exist, they create it. Jussie Smolet. Bubba Racecard. Kapernick. The top 1% of American privilege, and therefore world privilege, and all they can do is be victims.

Because victimhood is American black culture.

This is why they're banning or censoring anything they deem "offensive". Comedy helped tremendously with social discourse. The "healing power of laughter" in a sense.
