I can't imagine being a comedian in 2020, particularly a white one. They are supposed to push boundaries and sometimes offend people but our culture has become such that it's not acceptable, even in humor.

Saturday Night Live in any form from about the mid 90s and earlier couldn't exist today.

Its not just white, its all of them. Kevin Hart got cancelled from hosting the Oscars because he tweeted something as a joke.. About not letting his boy play with a doll castle or something because he doesn't want him to turn gay.

That was one of the situations where it seemed like it was obvious it was a joke and at the time, he tweeted like 6 years earlier.

But there are more comedians who are fighting back. I know Andrew Shultz is one.. He sells "Anti-Justice Warrior" shirts.

Speaking of comedians? Anyone a Joey Diaz fan? That dude is funny as hell...
