The man looks like a cross between Bill Burr and Robin Williams. And it was not a waste of time to watch this special. I particularly enjoyed the "ocean big, straw float, turtle swim" bit.
That said: I don't think this is a fine example to stand up at all. Not because he doesn't have a sense of humor, but because he is extremely scared of speaking his mind.
Though at times (when targeting Biden) he acted like he wouldn't mind backlash from the woke, he most definitely does. That is exactly why he didn't and couldn't target Obama or Kamala.
Totally in line with the CRT narrative, he equated Trump with Biden on the basis of "whiteness" and literally presented these people's race as "the root problem" with them.
I wouldn't mind much had I gotten the impression that Andrew Santiago himself DID actually buy the ideas behind rampant woke extremism. But when you read between the lines, you just KNOW his mind is not in peace with that narrative. He even mentions Dave Chappelle, which is tactically a huge mistake. Because he can't dare say "Hell yeah, Dave is great and spot on!" All he does with dropping Chappelle's name is some lame attempt at mitigation. Had he not blatantly shown the contrast between Dave and himself, he could hide better the fact that he doesn't have the guts to speak his mind. But he just walked right into it.
In what world can the "only mistake" by Kamala Harris be "not getting rid of Biden"? What is it about Kamala that Andrew thinks is different than Biden?
"She's Black!"
Really?
Look, Andrew: If you are smart enough to question the narrative with straws, you gotta be smart enough not to be duped by "anti-racist racism". You shied away from saying aything bad about Obama not because you thought he was the ideal president (maybe he was, that's not the issue) but because you pandered to what in your mind was your audience.
In an age where people criticize even Bill Burr for not being sincere enough, holding yourself back and trying to walk a straight line will not help you develop.
