There's not a lot of comics with anything to say. It's entertaining, but when you think of Chris Rock, Richard Pryor or Bill Cosby, they all had something to say.
This quote highlights the difference between superficial entertainment and meaningful commentary. While many comedians focus solely on laughs, figures like Pryor, Cosby, and Rock used their platforms to address social issues and share insights about life. Comedians with a message can inspire reflection, challenge perceptions, and even drive change. In an era where humor is often just for distraction, this reminds us of the power of comedy as a vehicle for truth and awareness.
