Carlos Mencia: ‘Your Feelings Are Not Protected in the Constitution’
'Mind of Mencia' alum perfectly describes why comedians need their freedom
Carlos Mencia has a leg up on many young comedians.
The veteran stand-up and star of Comedy Central’s “Mind of Mencia” has no patience for woke restrictions.
Even better? He has a thick enough skin to survive in our Cancel Culture age.
“Your feelings are not protected in the Constitution,” Mencia told “The Mandy Connell Show,” heard weekdays noon to 3 p.m. on iHeartMedia’s KOA (850 AM, 94.1 FM) in Denver.
“If you don’t understand that what I’m saying is intended to be funny and make you laugh, I’m not the one with the problem. Nothing that I say is intended to hurt anyone’s feelings. Nothing,” Mencia continued. “It’s all intended to make 100 percent of the people laugh… The fact that you choose to get offended at what is trying to make you happy, that says so much about you and nothing about me.”

Mencia, visiting Denver on his “No Hate No Fear” comedy tour, expounded on his approach to comedy during the woke era.
Even if he didn’t utter the “W” word.
He shared why including all people, including minorities and the differently abled, in his routines is a more humane approach to comedy.
“Putting somebody in a joke is not necessarily making fun of them,” he says, referring to a gag he told about an undocumented person named “Raoul.” Yes, the character had a Mexican accent.
“Somebody stood up in the audience and said, ‘hey, dude, why do you keep making fun of those poor people?’ And I said, ‘I’m not making fun of them. In the joke they’re not the victims, they’re the smart ones,'” Mencia recalled.
“And he said, ‘but why are you talking like that?’ and I said, ‘because it’s an undocumented immigrant person who just got here, and that’s how this person would talk. I know this person, I’ve met this person and I’m actually doing an impression of an actual person.”
“And he said, ‘that’s offensive.'”
And somebody stood up and said, “No, man. That’s exactly how we talk. You can sit down!” Mencia recalled.

Mencia remembered visiting a friend in the hospital years ago and how it allowed him to bond with fellow patients who had cerebral palsy.
“When I became a comedian, they asked me, ‘why don’t you do jokes about us?'” he recalled.
Yet when he does material about people like Marcus, someone he got to know over the years, he imitates his unique vocal patterns.
“That’s how Marcus talks…” he said. ‘So I’m doing this joke, and [the disabled people are] the smart ones, they’re never the victims, and this lady stood up and said, ‘Even if you’re not making fun of them, why would you even put people with disabilities in your act?’
“And I said, ‘unlike some of you people in this room, I don’t ignore their existence just because they’re different.’ And the audience gave me a standing ovation.”
Remember when President Trump lowered the unemployment rate for Hispanics (and Blacks) to new record lows?
Either you do or you don’t want to admit it.
It’s good Mencia stands up to the Woke Mob’s insanity and reveals the truth.
Carlos Mencia is a bottom-tier comic who was exposed by the standup community for stealing material from others. His career was derailed when Joe Rogan confronted him about his joke stealing, do not let him make a comeback. I can’t post a link here, but just search “Joe Rogan Carlos Mencia” on Youtube and you’ll see the video of him being confronted.

“Conservatives” who have “conserved” us al the way to trans filth in every school and degenerate “Minor Attracted Persons” TEACHING in thsoe schools instead of being SHOT DEAD IN THE STREET, have an annoying habit of gloming onto ANY SCUMBAG that temporarily swerves into a lane or hobby horse they spout.
CARLOS MENCIA IS THE BIGGEST JOKE THIEF IN THE HISTORY OF STAND UP COMIC. He was publicly outted by Joe Rogan , another pos you’ve glomed onto who hates your guts.
” Leftists Liberals leading to trans shooters……yada yada.” There fixed it for you. Better get back on your meds dude for your own sake.
I don’t particularly care for Menceia but on this subject he is right on target.
So tired of liberals whining “I’m offended” So what?
What a sad existence it must be to go through life offended by the slightest thing.
Comedians have more freedom today to say whatever they want tan ever before. No subject is off limits. Back in the day comedians were arrested for what they said on stage. Lenny Bruce for example. I haven’t seen a comedian thrown in jail since the sixties.
My Hispanic people have been duped into voting Democrat too long. The smarter and more educated we get, the more conservative we become.

LOL. Funny, and true.
The old days of comedy is making fun of people with how they talk and ethnicity and gender. Seems like we are back to breaking new barriers by focusing on what we used to do. Modern audiences are Woke communists. They destroy history only to repeat it.
Hispanics are among the least-woke people you will ever meet. I’ve lived with them most of my life, so I speak from experience. Small wonder they’re abandoning the Democrat Party in droves.
