The Comedian Comedians Were Afraid Of
The title may sound a bit dramatic at first, until you realize how true it is.
Patrice O’Neal was a legend that was taken too soon, and that loss shook up the comedy community. Adrian Nicole LeBlanc captures precisely his fearlessness and influence on the and what he brought to the table as in this great NY Magazine article.
If you aren’t familiar with her work, please check out Random Family, she’s an amazing writer.
Great article.
Must admit when I first saw Patrice live I didn’t get it. I could tell he was going off the top and doing lots of crowd work but I wanted to hear jokes. Now I understand his method.
Michael Eric Dyson going IN on the black church for opposing same sex marriages.
I personal don’t care who you marry but think America needs to read it’s history books and see that the key to our country’s creation was a divide between church and state.

In confronting Jewish laws that forbid airing allegations against fellow Jews or turning them in to the police, families of ultra-Orthodox victims who have been molested face intimidation by their communities.
This is the neighborhood I was born and raised in. My parents still live here. I believe I am so interested in cults, religious zealots as a result of this. Furthermore, my experience leaves me with the mindset that isolated communities have good intentions but very harmful practices.
I always took this practice as a long standing rule but as more churches get into the news for their staunch political views and ability to fire teachers or suspend kids at their own discretion I think this needs to be reviews. No church or religious institution should get tax breaks if they are going to discriminate against people. That’s all people - single mothers, immigrants, gays, etc.
