Comedian Jerry Seinfeld is under attack from the ‘outraged’ left by referencing Black Lives Matter in a joke on his web series, “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.” His guest passenger was Lewis Black so the tweet was a play on words:
New!
Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee
Lewis Black.
Black’s life matters.

However, many offended parties took to twitter to vocalize their shock at Seinfeld’s lack of sensitivity.
@JerrySeinfeld @Acura Hey I know you think college kids are too PC but I'm in my 30s and this crap was really offensive and lame.

Some were articulate in their outrage.
@JerrySeinfeld @Acura Perhaps poor taste to use a legitimate movement for a pun about a white guy

Some were more straight forward.
@JerrySeinfeld @Acura what the fuck jerry

Seinfeld has not deleted his tweet which is consistent with his widely publicized opinion that the world is full of “politically correct nonsense.”
Seinfeld has always resisted the idea of bowing to some arbitrary standard of political correctness that is being blown about by whatever happens to be popular at the time, but has built his career without stooping to R-rated routines, preferring observational gags over explicit language and sexual puns.
