In an interview with Seth Myers back in 2015, comedian Jerry Seinfeld famously said, "There's a creepy PC thing out there that really bothers me." So just keep that in mind.
In a tweet sent out to promote an upcoming episode of his series Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, Seinfeld did what he does best: keep it non-PC.
The 62-year-old got punny with guest Lewis Black's name and the Black Lives Matter movement. "New! Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee...Lewis Black. Black’s life matters." Ehh.
New!

Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee
Lewis Black.
Black’s life matters.

When it comes to a good joke, you have to know your audience. While this pun may have landed well with an older, less woke generation, you probably won't find said demo on Twitter.
Just a hunch, Jerry.
Many Twitter users were also incensed.

@JerrySeinfeld @Acura This is worse than the finale of "Seinfeld" which I still don't like.

@JerrySeinfeld @Acura This is a bad tweet.

Though this user said it best...
@JerrySeinfeld @Acura Perhaps poor taste to use a legitimate movement for a pun about a white guy
