A young boy repeated to his violin teacher a racist joke he heard in the schoolyard, which he didn’t understand. The teacher ridiculed the boy and not understanding why the teacher was angry, he started crying. Wasn’t it supposed to be funny? He started to hyperventilate. Realizing he was in distress, the teacher started to make funny voices and succeeded in relaxing and lightening him up. They returned to scales and arpeggios but forever after the boy was afraid the teacher might blow up if he said the wrong thing, and the teacher never explained what was offensive about the joke because he thought him too young to understand. Meanwhile, around the world this dynamic was repeated in a zillion incarnations and many developed paranoia, confusion and hostility. Eventually they took their place in society and passed their feelings on to their offspring and neighbours. The same verse and chorus and verse and chorus over and over.

I’ve seen a LOT of racism in my life in Canada. Worked in a lot of blue collar places where I was the only white Canadian guy. Seen a LOT of racism in my life. And you know what? Probably 95% of the racism I’ve seen in my life was not from white people. Don Rickles was the greatest comedian of all time. He was an antidote to the true pandemic of political correctness. The truer virus. That’s why comedy sucks now. Jerry Seinfeld, Jay Leno and Howie Mandel have complained about it publicly because everyone gets offended now. Left wing people have ruined Western society. Comedy is just one small area that Leftists have ruined society. It’s that simple. If Dave Chappelle and Russell Peters can become millionaires making racial jokes, a white male comedian should be able to as well, without getting booed off stage. White privilege….Lmao the ultimate myth.
