I don't know everything about him but I do know that he called out feminists for pushing into the corporate world and imitating men, because didn't think putting on a suit and sitting in an office was the highest calling in life.
in his later years and made many anti white jokes
I'm aware of his 'lame white motherfuckers' statement, but I'm also aware of him saying this:
"There is absolutely nothing wrong with the word "Nigger" in and of itself. It's the racist asshole who's using it that you ought to be concerned about. We don't mind when Richard Pryer or Eddie Murphy say it. Why? Because we know they're not racist - They're Niggers!"
Make that same joke today and your show and your deals are cancelled.
thoughts on kurt cobain and mlk?
I'm not sure what either of those people have to do with Carlin.
Cobain was an alcoholic drug addict and he is of no interest to me beyond his music. I care not for the politics of a man whose only relevance is the few songs he committed to recording before blowing his own head to smithereens with a shotgun.
MLK didn't like capitalism, but he wasn't committed to its destruction. He said:
"Capitalism forgets that life is social. And the kingdom of brotherhood is found neither in the thesis of communism nor the antithesis of capitalism, but in a higher synthesis."
Invoking Hegel and arguing for a synthesis of capitalism and communism can get you to many places. It can get you to state capitalism (Hitler/Mussolini/post-Deng-reforms modern China), or it can get you to the Nordic Model. The interesting thing about socialism is that you can have quite a lot of it and still do well if and ONLY IF you have sufficient ethnic unity trust in your country. That requirement gels with MLK's better known statements on wishing for racial harmony.
If you snap your wizard fingers and make MLK quotes your primary source for deciding policy, you piss off a lot of rich people, you probably piss off a considerable chunk of the middle class, and you have a lot of layabouts leeching off everyone else, buuuut... I don't think anyone starves. ...But I don't think there's any way to get black americans and whites to a level of trust where this is sustainable.
I prefer Malcolm X to MLK, because Malcolm made the intellectual journey and identified the Jew, while MLK was blindly puppeteered by them. Both were shot when they ceased being useful.
