| Comedians and satirists are supposed to push the boundaries of what's tasteful and nice. Could Lenny Bruce even exist in today's politically correct cancel culture? What actual harm did Jackie Mason do to gays and people of color, for the hate that's being leveled against him now? | |

| "What actual harm did Jackie Mason do to gays and people of color, for the hate that's being leveled against him now?" Just one example: He told jokes making fun of "faygelahs" [his word, not mine, and I have no idea how to spell it] for being who they were. A gay kid's parents went to see his show and came home and told those jokes to the kid's aunts and uncles at the Sunday barbecue. Everyone laughed uproariously. The gay kid killed himself. Is that enough actual harm for you? If so, consider donating at the link. |

| He sold out shows and made people laugh. Something not everyone can do. | |
