5. I thought it mean when black people are racist toward white people.

I've experienced that once. One of my best friend was a black women who invited me to Thanksgiving at her home where she rented with a few other women. They all were very rude to me and acted like they didn't want me there. My friend was very mad and upset and I felt very uncomfortable.

I had thought that was reverse racism but now I realize it was just racism.

Where it's not really a joke. You're just making a political or ideological statement that you know your audience will clap at.

Bit lazy, honestly.

Now Andrew Schulz's recent bit on abortion. That's how political comedy is done, and his craft doing it is absolutely amazing. He tips up right to the line, dances back, tips up to it, dances back. It's glorious to see how he's doing it and bringing the audience with him on a topic you're not sure you want to follow him on.

This guy is very, very dull.

It's all subjective, of course. But I enjoy comedy that tests the audience. This guy is just pandering to his.
