Oh, also - Wayne Brady has more relevance and legitimacy as a black comedian with political opinions beneficial to blacks than Dave Chappell does at this point. Chappell is now a prolapsed ventriloquist dummy, leaking contagious body-fluids on his audience. He may still have some of the same endearing qualities and mannerisms that made you love him in the first place, but any serious message he has to offer should 100% be disregarded
 

Absurdity

Yeeeeahhhhhh that's probably not gonna happen.

This dude just started putting out the most hilarious vids. I had to post some, this seemed like the most relevant thread:




This guy is great!

Dave had a bad take. It happens. I never did look for what his political leanings are, and for the most part he's found a way to keep it separate from his act, at least to the point where he only makes fun of one side. It would take more than this before I'd let it define him. I think the case of George Floyd is tricky because it checks off all the boxes as something that appears to be targeting black folks. You really have to weigh out all the elements of the story before you come to a conclusion about it. What happened to Floyd was so visceral that the emotional response from seeing it was so strong that it would take a great amount of patience and effort to keep from coming to the wrong idea behind how much Officer Chauvin and his squad were acting on racist principles and how that might be representative of all policemen in the United States.

White racism has almost a mythical quality to it for a lot of blacks. They don't know how far it goes, they don't know where it ends and it's very easy to stoke the imagination in the wrong direction. For example: Get Out or Juicy Smollyay's Maga Hat Marauders. Same thing goes for how some white folks view the black capacity for violence and criminality. Now it is true that if there weren't some basis in reality for these prejudice notions, they wouldn't exist at all. At their core they are exaggerations of a threat: taking the worst behavior in a given group and applying it to all of them. Sometimes prejudice can lead to racism given enough false confirmation and more willingness to cut the other side off completely. But the only true remedy for prejudice notions or even racism is always to be on your best behavior and not feed the negativity. Nobody's going to change their minds about whites or blacks because they got punched in the face.

That being said, if you are in a position where you are forced to defend yourself, you gotta do it. What we are seeing a lot more of now is paid rioters, controlled revolutions (most are), and situations where violence is the only way to address the situation. If you aren't a critical thinker, you will be corralled into the various categories of managed identities.

Oh, you're spot on, and it's the fact that Chappell himself is a critical thinker, one who's shown publicly on different occasions that he's thinking deep into these types of topics himself, to not only know all of this himself, but is yet preaching full-throated support of BLM, Lebron James = Muhammad Ali corporate rhetoric, and some of the other 'correctly woke' platitudes, that sets my 'this shit ain't right. Someone trying to sell me some bullshit sensors. Well, that, and the corresponding 'PR team approved to contain every desired talking point ' "review/preview" from whoever wrote that OP-quoted article that accompanied the release of this Netflix Propaganda Special. Read that thing again, and the way it goes into loving detail about the "appropiately social-distanced, mask wearing crowd of white people totally agreeing about Dave's profound words, while having their temperatures checked at regular intervals". That's some info-speaking, officially vetted, Globohomo babble if I ever read it, trying to get up in your ass with fully pozzed gayness. That shit gives me some straight up skeevy feelings, and what made me originally think deeper about this performance by Chappell. And it was nothing if not an insincere performance I'm convinced. Maybe some genuine emotion and truth about the visceral reaction to seeing Floyd's death, with a couple actual jokes he wrote about the black spree shooter, but even that part was some bullshit, I'd say, to make us sympathetic and nuanced towards a black terrorist, while the government's own pet riot causing group with pro-black branding is up to similar antics in our streets at that very time. Yup, Chappell is an actual bought and paid for Globohomo shill, as much as it pains me to accept

Edit : ahh, damnit, but this shit had to trigger my autism even worse, which ain't good, cuz it's the political/conspiratorial type of autism, which has been known to lead to schizophrenia and unfunny word-salad posting :^( But, now that I think even more and deeper about that special, it was entirely, carefully crafted with "Police = Bad/Black = Good" narrative throughout the entire thing, and not just in an emotional, off-the-cuff bad take way. Even when Chappell talked about LEO being proactive to protect a black man's life (his own, too, the ungrateful pos), he chose that to be one of his few instances of using jokes, and portraying them as bumbling/overreaching/dumb during their efforts to hunt down and kill a different black man (who had targeted their family members. Chappell breezed right over this dude executing an innocent woman who happened to marry a cop. He even seemed cool with it, or at least to be able to find an humorous way to look at it. That doesn't match up with his devastated and righteous tone when it comes to these other deaths, even though I'm sure he's found plenty of humorous ways to look at em previously. That part of your nature don't just shut off cuz they were black, nah, not when you can see the dark humor going the other way. He was preaching about those, like there wasn't any humor to be found in them, only anger and sorrow) Fuck that and fuck him, he was being completely fake when he was trying to play the distraught wise black man. People eat up that archetype like ice cream, especially white libs. He's probably gonna use this shit to try to get Morgan Freeman type roles when Hollywood opens back up

I like chapelle's old stuff, like what he did in the late 90's and the show, but I know to separate the man from his work

As a person dave is kind of a two-face asswipe at times. For starters he made a career out of very racist stereotypes of poor black people while being an educated middle class black guy, which is a dick move. Then he started to get offended at white people laughing at his racist jokes, like what did you expect dumbass? them to be offended? you started bringing this shit up because it made you famous, deal with it

Then he goes the ol' back to africa and conversion to islam, then regrets the first but keeps larping as the 2nd probably to save face. I bet that like most black supremacists he didnt have a nice time over there, not so much for the poverty since some african countries aint that bad, but because of the cultural clash. Theres no concept of "blackness" in africa because they are different tribes, ethnic groups, religions and countries, and they dont all look alike. Over there dave isnt anybody "brotha" just a foreigner with money, he cant larp like in white countries. Same with islam, bet dave didnt know arabs HATE black people and openly use the word 'zanj' which afaik is their version of the n-word. Must been quite a shock seeing other muslims not being as polite as christians used to be

He came back and now see the consequences of his bootyblasting over raycis people: now everybody is 10x more offended at everything than he was, so much that now he's the racist shitlord. And while dave was funny a lot of his humor is really "problematic" and he sucks at PC humor, he cant do that shit and stay relevant

This video looks to me as a lame attempt at rebranding himself. The netflix specials while successful got so much backlash that I bet a lot of offers he got simply evaporated. CC gone 100% woke so I doubt they'll hire him back and most standup venues cant risk a SJW mob like the one that pounced on dave for making jokes about troonies. Using youtube is an alternative but it doesnt pays the same, dave is used to getting millions off network TV and streaming services. In comparison youtube monetization is small potatoes and he can barely make enough material for one show a year let alone multiple videos every week or once a day




Comedian Dave Chappelle has released a blistering Netflix special in which he addresses the killing of George Floyd, police brutality and the horrific legacy of slavery. The 25-minute set is entitled 8:46, referencing the period of time (eight minutes and 46 seconds) that police officer Derek Chauvin held his knee on Floyd’s neck in Minneapolis last month.

Chappelle says he did not feel able to watch the footage of Floyd’s death until a week later, and he imagines the terror that the 46-year-old would have felt. “Anyone who sees this,” he says, reflecting on the pain of watching the footage, “they’re going to be furious.”

In a set that includes commentary on the deaths of Eric Garner and Trayvon Martin, Chappelle considers the role of celebrities during the protests. “This is the streets talking for themselves,” he says. “They don’t need me right now.” He also applauds those who have supported the Black Lives Matter movement. “I want to shout out to all the young people who have had the courage to go out and do all this amazing work protesting – I am very proud of you.”

The impassioned show, which Chappelle acknowledges as being “not funny at all”, was released online on Thursday. It was filmed live on 6 June, is Chappelle’s first stage performance in almost three months, and took place before a socially distanced audience who can be seen wearing face masks and undergoing temperature screenings. Chappelle says it is the first concert of its type in the US since the Covid-19 lockdown began. There have been other drive-in comedy shows, where audiences “honk the horn” if they like a joke, which Chappelle says “didn’t sound like any fun”.

The show is available for free on YouTube with an accompanying link to find out more about the Equal Justice Initiative, which was founded in 1989 and is committed to “ending mass incarceration and excessive punishment in the United States, to challenging racial and economic injustice, and to protecting basic human rights for the most vulnerable people in American society”.

At George Floyd’s memorial service in Minneapolis earlier this week, Rev Al Sharpton called for eight minutes and 46 seconds of silence.

Also, it seems he mocked CNN’s Don Lemon for questioning why celebrities need to step up and speak up, while calling FOX News’ Laura Ingraham a hypocrite for claiming Drew Brees has a right to an opinion, but LeBron James needs to be told to shut up and dribble.


I dont know how anyone can still believe trayvon was a victim. Him and zim are the typical case of two douchebags colliding: trayvon was a wannabe gangsta and zim a wannabe vigilante. So what happens when you put two insecure violent shits together? exactly what happened. Thing is trayvon was a retard, he coulda called the cops on zim, or just record him and get him cancelled for stalking him, even be alive to profit off the scandal like many others do.

Oh but that would be a bitch move! he had to show that fat beaner who's boss!. And because he's an idiot he thought he could go worldstar on zim, who as his head was getting smashed against the concrete took his gun and shoot trayvon. Keep in mind that had trayvon killed zim while you wouldnt see anyone chimping out about it the fact is trayvon would've looked at 25 to life for killing a neighborhood watch guy who was smaller than him. Thats a lot of time for fresh meat like him to get pounded in the ass, bet his new homies would've really liked him, full-homo

Also funny how dave didnt mention mike brown, guess that after the full story was revealed is no longer convenient to simp for the "gentle giant"? I wonder if after the full video of floyd and his long rap sheet where made public months later he still thinks like that and if he will keep simping for floyd in the future if the trial shows things werent as the media said

It wasn't about being PC. Chappelle walked away from his show because the sheer amount of pressure on him to continue to create it got overwhelming for him. He walked away from a 50$ million dollar contract to spend more time with his family.

Chappelle is one of the few comedians I like because he lacks a PC filter. He doesn't care if a joke offends you or rustles your jimmies; either everything is fair game or nothing is fair game.
He lacked a PC filter, but not anymore

And thats because its no longer profitable
