I am not really a fan, but my critique was more charitable than yours. I thought he was nervous, which is not a good look on a comic of his type. I thought his white women material was pretty strong, though not different nor better than what you would see on Black Twitter on any given night. His strongest line was when he said white women, having benefited from all the shit white men have done over the centuries, should “stand here next to me” and take their share of the reckoning.
What made the set weak in my eyes was two things: 1) he never really owned the shit that white guys like him have done and 2) he used his articulation of the various low level complaints of many Black people (getting the short month for BHM, Pride month being in the summer) to claim moral high ground for his cranky old straight white guy bashing of women and LGBTQs. In the end though I think you (Kevin) are right that it read like a comic workshopping promising material. OTOH, that is better than the average SNL monologue, so, not sure it is worthy of special complaint.
