Gotcha. Yeah, I was disappointed not to see it called out by Glenn. I thought immediately of Sowell's *Black Rednecks*.
Overall, the comics exhibited a kind of hip-hop braggadocio ("I dunked on you and fucked your girl", the constant interjections, etc.) that was difficult to engage with seriously and smacked of a mentality in which street violence might be glorified. I guess I just expected Glenn to have selected comedians who were above it. At the very least, given the popularity of this kind of posturing in comedy and music, it was a good demonstration of how easily honor culture and the ideas that go with it are reinforced.
