Yes I preferred his satire over his shallow, whiny, right wing adjacent social commentary about cancel culture, political correctness, liberal firing squads, and big bad threatening transgendered people. Sounding more and more like a bytchy white boy by the day. Rich as fukk and ain't got nothing to worry about but I'm suppose to laugh at this phony victimization over gay rights groups and pretend I'm witnessing social enlightenment and the second coming of Malcolm X himself. Oh please.
Not all of us are devoted bandwagon jumping stans. Some of us can change our minds and think for ourselves. Ten years ago I'd tell you Chapelle is one of the most brilliant satirists and comedians of our generation. When that first Netflix special dropped and I felt underwhelmed or like Im not even hearing the same person I heard on Killing em Softly, I still defended dude as one of our comedic geniuses. But like I said, after at least 5 years of this new tored routine Im realizing cat just had a nice Comedy Central show that was contributed by a bunch of great writers.
His new persona is just trash, man. Yes bring me nack the Chapelle who satires the black community. At least that was creative and funny. This new routine of grumpy old rich guy punching down on anyone trying to "cancel" him is not as enlightening or intellectual as yall convince yourself.
Consider this my friend: the new Dave Chapelle--mr anti-PC, anti-cancel culture warrior--is celebrated on Fox and Friends in the morning and Gutfeld! by night every time hes in the headlines. The old Comedy Central Dave Chapelle was feared and lambasted as a vulgar, anti-white, race baiting degenerate on Fox. You would have never caught racist right wing commentators praising Chappelle Show or Killing em Softly. Sit on that and ask yourself which was truly a more powerful voice against white supremacy. The one that got these conservative whites feeling very comfortable and happy or the one that had them shook and upset?
