Nobody Can Take a Joke Anymore

[Griff]

Lil Griff saw Jay Pharoh at her very liberal school last year. He was commenting on how white the campus was when a girl jumped in with, "I'm Latina!" to which he replied, "Nobody fucking cares."

Comedians are an important breath of fresh air on these campuses. What I like about Lil Griff's is that people do get their hearing, they talk shit to death, and they try for respect. Dumb ideas may get too much love but there is always someone willing to call them out. It is a small enough campus that College Republican will see Rainbow Flagian on campus every day so it's tempered. It is as liberal as her high school was conservative so it's good for her perspective. She knows when to laugh when people bullshit themselves.

In an odd twist she saw some high school friends who moved down South this summer. One family were exactly the same progressive Catholics they were while the other has let their racist bullshit loose. It is interesting that even a conservative Catholic High School tamped down the overt racism back then. Maybe its more a NY versus NC thing...
