Politically Incorrect- KLAV 1230 AM (made with Spreaker) - Video

It seems like almost every week theres a comedian who says something politically incorrect and then either apologizes for it, defends it, or leaves it as is while the internet rumbles with righteous anger. And of all the comedians who get flak for the politically incorrect stuff they say, arguably the biggest target is the man who hosted a show literally called Politically Incorrect: Bill Maher.

And on Mahers show last night, Seth Rogen opined on the subject of political correctness weaving its way into the comedy scene and not really finding much at issue there as Maher does.

They were going off a viewer question about why comedy doesnt talk about politics or social issues in the same way it used to. Rogen completely rejected the premise of the question, though Roland Martin pointed out there are plenty of comics who dont dare tread in political waters because of potential backlash.

Rogen said hes never been the brunt of any politically correct mobs, and he made a movie making fun of the rapture. Rogen then took the opportunity to take issue with something comedians do after comments that dont go over well:

I think some people who get labeled as comics who are like, Ooh, the political correct community is condemning me, forget that they also have to be funny. And I think that when your shit is funny, people are much more willing to accept an idea that they themselves might find horribly offensive.:

Maher didnt follow up on Rogens comment, but in the past, he himself has taken issue with politically correct social media-fueled outrage plenty of times in the past.

Seth Rogen: Some Comics Decrying PC Mob Forget They Have to Be Funny

Conrad Black is either so arrogant and ignorant that he considers the opinions of others totally beneath him, or he simply likes to fight so much that he deliberately tries to be as politically incorrect as possible.

He is all of this in his recent book, Rise to Greatness: The History of Canada from the Vikings to the present.

The title is completely misleading. This cannot be a history of Canada when it barely includes First Nations. When it does, Black is mostly negative and dismissive.

I thought we stopped publishing history books which ignored the contributions of indigenous people. Andtexts that called any battle that was won by the Indians a massacre and any won by the whitesa great victory.

First Nations are mostly relegated to three of the early pages of Black's 1,000 page tome (other references to native people are minimal; Big Bear is named, Elijah Harper gets a sentence and Phil Fontaine is completely ignored).

Louis Riel receives more attention but, like the indigenous people who occupy those three pages, it would be better if Black excluded himentirely.His treatment of First Nations is so insulting and condescending and inaccurate, I am surprised there hasnt been a major uproar.

Black describes indigenous religion as superstition. He claims their environmental practices consisted of chasing away all the wildlife or fishing out the lakes and rivers.

Indigenous women were promiscuous to the extreme and Indians were untrustworthy (according to Black, they were the ones who didnt honour treaties).

Black makes broad accusations and sweeping conclusions as if he were there to provide a first-hand account, and he is so cocksure of everything that he writes it like fact.

Black concludes that The Indians were splendid woodsmen and craftsmen but they were a stone age culture that had not discovered the wheel and Indian society was not in itself worthy of integral conservation, nor was its dilution a suitable subject for great lamentation."
