I see now in hindsight that he was always anti-white, but I didn't really see it at the time because he was more subtle back then and he also would gripe about the white guilt movies.
I viewed him as one of the lone brave truth tellers, particularly about feminism and women.
What a fall from grace he turned out to be. Brave is not how I'd describe Bill Burr.
I rarely am embarrassed for liking someone. In middle school, I, like all other middle schoolers at that time, thought Dane Cook was hilarious. Now I don't think he's the worst thing ever like he's made out to be, but I can see that it was more about perfect timing with Dane Cook. I was the exact right age for Dane Cook to be hilarious to me. I don't feel embarrassed because I understand the timing.
With Bill Burr, he actually makes you embarrassed you ever recommended him as someone who's "raw" and "tell's it like it is".
I mean it doesn't feel like that long ago I was doing that.
Also the guy who always said the government wants to eliminate people and drastically reduce the population goes all in for the vax and says people who don't get it are conspiratorial and whatever.
Has anyone so blatantly 180'd as Bill Burr?
Bill Burr got destroyed by his wife, primarily. He should have listened to his own advice.
But, no, I'm not embarrassed to have liked him, or to still think he sometimes gets it right even now. Old Bill Burr was, no matter how you feel about some of his perceived stances, an excellent and hilarious comedian. Like, top tier. Not at the very top of the top, like Norm Macdonald, but still pretty high up there on the 'good comedy' list. At least in my opinion. Old Burr was absolutely hilarious, and I feel no embarrassment whatsoever. Gotta separate the art from the artist, or the art from the future artist. I enjoy the work of plenty of people who turn out to be raging morons on a bunch of issues.
Burr's fall was dramatic, I'll give you that, and he's an absolute moron now on a bunch of stuff, but that still doesn't erase his old accomplishments.
To be fair, I was being hyperbolic about being embarrassed.
It's just a more of a colorful way to say how lame a turn he took, and to the degreee I percieved him one way, was a false perception. I dont feel truly embarrassed. It was an exaggeration
