    He’s definitely a bit of an asshole, but at the end of the day, from what I’ve seen from him over the years he does have his head on straight on a LOT of issues.

      I don’t even think he’s an asshole, honestly. He just has no filter against stupidity.

        Hard agree. I used to think he was just strictly a dick, but his introspection and growth shows he’s really honestly been thinking about things with as much empathy as he can muster.

        I think I’m done thinking white men who are assholes can change.

      He’s essentially as close to Carlin as we’re likely to see.

        Shhh, that’s what people were saying about Dave Chappelle before, you know, all the stuff he’s said recently about trans people

          I assure you no one was saying that about Dave Chappelle. That dude has always been a racist jackass. He just happened to be funny for a short while.
