It's stunning how many people seem to forget that there are other countries on the planet that use dollars and weren't involved in Vietnam. No, I'm not making an assumption. The person who posted this is Canadian.

Y'all really need to take a step back and reflect a little bit.

This is from his bigger and blacker stand up from early 2000 after saying this line. He also said that there is a one legged white bus boy who would not switch places with me and I’m rich because the bus boy would say nah man I’m gonna ride this white thing out and see where it takes me.

Cool, but the quote is still giving me a stroke.
