George Carlin from beyond the grave. ....or maybe four decades before it. Real food for thought. Something is amiss when comedians' targets are vulnerable marginalized groups. It may come from a place of genuine ignorance and not any malicious intent, but the impact can still be dangerous, even deadly.

Exactly.
I am a big Chappelle fan, well, not so much on this 'special'. Honestly, I didn't even get to his anti-trans material. I found it offensive & mean very early on & stopped watching. Now I will likely go back just to see the whole thing, but the whole tone just seemed off...

For sure! Carlin could be abrasive & cynical, but had his eyes open & his brain engaged.
Oddly enough, my ex turned me on to George Carlyn, and he's a right wing nut job- he's just apparently not bright enough to know what he was talking about lol.
