No wonder Eddie Murphy has been keeping a relatively low profile over the last several years. If you go back and watch his Stand-Up specials from the 1980's, 'Delirious' and 'Raw' (both incredibly funny) you will see that at least 60-70% of the material would never be able to fly today due to the preponderance of gay and misogynistic jokes.

Hence the importance of having a lot of "F-You money" put away. Hopefully this PC overreach will start waking up some people in hollywood.

Incidentally; this whole oscar situation with Kevin Hart may have something to do with his lack of Trump jokes during his act. You see; Hart is not only a black man, but he is a businessman who is smart enough to realize that it is not financially prudent to alienate half of your potential audience just to make a political point. Unfortunately; this is unacceptable to the leftist hollywood crowd, so Hart must be made an example of. If he had included some anti-Trump material in his act; his past "anti-gay" jokes would never have been mentioned and he would still be hosting the oscars.

"Hey Boy, you look mighty cute in them jeans....."

Delirious is still one of the funniest things ever, it still makes me laugh as much now as it did back then.
