Eddie Murphy Won’t Allow Cancel Culture To Stifle His Return to Stand-Up
Breitbart ^ | 10/02/2019 | David Ng

Veteran actor-comedian Eddie Murphy is the latest comic to take a stand against cancel culture, suggesting that he doesn’t want to apologize for what he says when he returns to stand-up comedy in a tour scheduled for next year. Eddie Murphy told the Associated Press in an interview published Wednesday that there is a backlash among comedians against forced apologies.

“It’s almost like there was this thing where for the last couple years, people had to apologize for saying this and that. It seems like I’m seeing a couple comics going ‘You know what? Enough of this shit. I’m doing my thing and let the chips fall where they may,'” Murphy said.

Pushing back big time and often is what is going to be required to end the reign of terror of political correctness.

I wonder if Eddie Murphy will admit that President Donald Trump is his role model.

Shalimar Seiuli could be a character reference for Eddie.

That is called “speaking truth to power”.

Let the leftists choke on it.

He already apologized for his gay jokes.
$70 million will do that, I guess...

I loved Raw and Delirious.

I miss comedy.

Please let Eddie and Dave bring it back.

Not sure what to say on that.

It’s been rumored that Eddie swings both ways though.

If he goes to the level that made him famous in the ‘80s, there’ll be a LOT of melted snowflakes.

Sam Kinison.
Richard Pryor.
We need more like them.

Comedians including Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Rock, and Marlon Wayans have publicly spoken out against what is often referred to as “cancel culture,” where left-wing political activists in conjunction with the mainstream media apply social media pressure to get their targets and adversaries fired.


They clearly know who is the cause of this “cancel culture.”

Let the chips fall where they may. That’s been my calling card since the mid-70’s.

I'm beginning to notice a trend in regards to my own interaction with Millennials. I've noticed, especially the girls have no sense of humor - there seems to be a total dead zone in their personality.

Comedy has no place only scorn derision, mocking and stupid internet memes round out the things that cause laughter

I think the president when he does his funny tweets those anger and confuse them most. The common core Marxists teachers didn't prepare them for president Donald Trump.

I wonder if Eddy will do any jokes about trannies or Hugh Grant?
