Comments by "BVargas78" (@BVargas78) on "Lenny Henry 'surprised' at lack of black and brown festival goers" video.

Lenny has made the journey from a cheeky but bright and witty working class kid, abilities that made him a good comedian, to a sanctimonious middle class woketivist. And like most woketivists in 2022 misses the mark on most issues.

@allanlumutenga4901 Despite of that, Africa remains one of the most mineral/resource rich continents but the problem today is corruption and an elite class (but of native people this time) who want to plunder the countries wealth the same way the colonials did.

@grahammcdowall5019 To be fair I haven't really seen his stuff in ages since I was a kid. But back in the late 80's and early 90's he was on TV a lot I remember finding it funny then. Perhaps not so much as an adult, I also imagine it would have gotten stale after a while. While humor has evolved quite a lot since then. Becoming infused with a lot more cynicism and edge, which I don't see as a bad thing.

@JohnChilton1 As mentioned before I haven't really seen much of his content since the 80's and early 90's when i was still a kid. There could be an element of rose tinted glasses in my memories, as I used to enjoy it then but it would probably fall flat these days, thinking about it.
