What I am not getting is Dave's constant need to have convos and shyt with the community. He's Dave fukking Chappelle. He's organic and connects directly with the people.

Why does he need to answer to anybody? Why even bother going to movie studios. Just put it out yourself on a website and people will flock to it.
he's transparent :manny:

No its not...

Black face is racist...all human beings are born from a woman's reproductive organs is a fukking fact...

I can't believe I'm having this conversation right now...smh
Blackface is considered racist because it has a hurtful and demeaning history to us

How did the world find out it was hurtful? because black people voiced how the depiction hurt & upset them to see portrayed...

This is one of the worst topics of 2021. Dave and these trans nikkas both need to stfu. They should have just let Dave fall off cause that comedy special was ass anyways.:francis:
Them shyts was super ass
It’s a good thing he lucked up on this tranny clowning wave because if his specials were still graded on humor they’d be in the trash

A 50s comedian complaining about how he can't make fun of black people anymore:hubie:
This is pretty much how ya'll sound when you throw tantrums and cry about Dave getting criticized:hubie:

He's a grown man he can handle it:yeshrug:


Really??

Dude.... you wayyyy offfffffffff

There is both history behind blackface and the timing of when it came out, it came out right after emancipation, in the U.S. that is.
Blackface was to dehumanize black people and condone violence against them.
And did you know that in the blackface ministrel shows there was a character called Jim Crow?
It was later that they came up with the Jim Crow laws that was named after that character from the ministrel shows.
It also promoted negative stereotypes like criminal behavior.

The two are completely different issues in timing, content, bigotry, history, and what it incited.

Dude you way off......
This post of yours was a bad idea..

It's just weird that Dave's made the defining theme of his comeback arc him Vs the gays over the course of four specials.

I kind of get it, because that's one of the main arenas where the landscape of comedy has shifted since his comedy central days so he could have something insightful to say about how social values have changed, which he did with his dababy material.

But, at the same time, most of his content on the LGBTetc in his current incarnation have leaned on "queers drive like this" jokes that were fairly obviously at the expense of that demographic. It wasn't really till the third act of the closer that he went out of his way to humanise them, and even then the whole bit was predicated on "I have a trans friend".

If he just peppered his sets with some really concise and funny jokes on the topic and then moved on he'd be good. That "impossible p*ssy" joke was classic Dave at his best: slightly goofy, very visual, undeniably hilarious.

But instead most of his takes on the subject took the form of rambling diatribes that weren't always in the service of comedy. If you're going to reinvent yourself as some kind of truth teller then don't be surprised when you get held to a higher standard than a jobbing road comic.

It comes off a little disingenuous to say "I don't have an issue with trans people" when he's made them the uniting focus of so much of his recent work. I really wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't have strong feelings about them either way but just settled on this approach as a way to generate some kind of controversy for an artist in need of an edgy comeback who's otherwise been quietly living as a multimillionaire for the last two decades. Which would be a shame, because I think he's too much of a naturally gifted comic to spend the second wind of his career rolling around in this nonsense.

Would also like to hear where actual black trans people stand on his material.

That's a lot of words to say "fukk Dave Chappelle"

He's done a lot to support the black community and it's disappointing to see all these tranny loving c00ns to come out of the woodwork.

Who gives a fukk what trannies think about his material.

One day people will realize that this "not be afraid of being canceled" is a hell of marketing strategy that works. Hell you had nikkas on here saying that his comedy special don't have to be funny all because they like the fact that he's "fighting back" against groups they don't like.

Zip zap bingo.

Being on some "I will not be silenced by the [insert minority group here]" fake outrage has become some new wave for people looking to cash off a spiteful shallow audience without having to come up with anything substantial.

Not that he shares their politics, but dude is on that Joe Rogan, Donald Trump Jr, Tucker Carlson wave now. Just banking off of resentment towards others to build his profile. Has he given some weak take on covid vaccines yet.

Yeah, I miss pre-Netflix Dave. The Dave who made brilliant observations about race relations in America. I remember when Killing Em Softly came out and nikkas could quote EVERY SINGLE bit in the shyt cus it was actually funny. This new shyt comes out and all I see is a bunch of fools excited that he "getting at trans people." Not one memorable quote or bit. shyt is corny.

I normally hate "whataboutism" but in this case, this is pretty relevant. Peep the tweets from the activist who's helping to lead the Chappelle protest

Comedy's a more interesting art form to criticize than most :manny:

There’s no need for a discussion. He didn’t patronize or mock Trans people; he simply stated his opinion.

This is related to why he left the show in the first place.

He talked about how during a skit a laugh was laughed that wasn’t laughing with but at him and it was racist. Obviously that laugh had to have had came from a White most likely a white man. So now to where we are today where everything and everybody has been a leap from black people with so much of it being pushed by whites. The burden of white supremacy is on white people because they the ones holding the ropes on both ends while everybody else jumping. When racist shot happens it gets glossed over with Librals saying shyt like “oh how could so and so be racist today when you are a racist you expose yourself as the lowest of filth” literally ignoring what the the person experiencing racism had to go through. Also me too white people have always had me too when it comes to Black people we see it with athletes all the time. There was a black man Brian Banks who had a woman falsely accuse him of RAPE when he was a junior in high school not long after he committed to USC. For six years he was arrested that was the plea bargain they wanted him locked up for 41 years. His high school even told him that regardless of the result of the trial he wouldn’t be allowed back into school. White men pretending to be women are above the jokes.

Think about the Raiders story they were fine with letting the coach stay over racist shyt even had black skinned people caping for him on live television (they purposely hid Drew Brees a white man who said some :mjpls: shyt before getting corrected not too long ago) but a week later when the gay shyt dropped what happened?


Any time it’s something for black people it’s silent but if it’s for anyone else it’s loud. There were gay groups headed by blacks shytting on Dave. You can always tell when someone black 99.9 percent of the time and you can tell when someone gay 85 percent because they so flamboyant which is loud.

I dont understand yall. If you dont care then why even waste all this energy on the shyt especially since it doesnt concern you. For someone who doesnt give a fxck why are you so invested in this then?:heh:
