This Country Of Yours

So let me make sure I have this correct, Daniel Tosh shouldn't be censored in making rape jokes but Chris Rock is wrong and is being virtually lynched for making a factual statement concerning America's hypocrisy regarding Independence Day not applying to Negroes.

Gotta love this country. Or not.

This is me before reading the linked article: "Chris Rock is a prophet, because he tells the fuckin' truth. Whatever he said, he was probably right."

Damn right.

Right now I just want to crawl into a hole and hide until the Tosh stuff dies down. I'm sick of the same arguments about FREE SPEECH and YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND COMEDY and THIS IS WHAT YOU GET FOR LEAVING THE HOUSE, YOU WOMAN.

The story itself was triggering, and then I got to deal with pretty much the entire internet telling me that PTSD was getting in the way of having a good laugh.

I wish more stand ups were Chris Rock.

with every freedom is responsibility. If people don't like the crap that is coming out of ur mouth then you must bear that responsibility

I don't get it. Nothing Chris Rock said was remotely offensive-- it's merely a statement of fact.

[neo_prodigy]

Facts are the most offensive statements of all.

He's pretty much a whole bunch of misogyny wrapped up in a smug douchebag man suit.

The one bright spot is how quickly the anti-Tosh petition is gathering signs. Hit refresh, it goes up. Seriously, it's hypnotic.
