I love Jeff Ross. He’s one of those rare comedians who can tell a good race, non PC joke and get away with it cause he does it out of love and respect. On a Flavor Flav roast, “people, I’m not going to make fun of Flavor Flav cause he’s black. Him being black is the 5th thing that’s wrong with him!” 😂

@Magdalena8008s 7 ай бұрын

This is the thing. There is such thing as people not being able to say controversial jokes. The issue is most of the time those who say such things have a track record of being potentially garbage people behind the scenes. People pay attention to what you do off stage. Be a good person and nobodys going to; "cancel" you.
