Why would he make jokes about them rather than his own experience here in the USA?
Dave Chapelle Talks About Performing In Saudi Arabia (UPDATE) Was About Bill Maher
- Thread starter Prince.Skeletor
- Start date
the point is you cannot claim they have more freedom of speech than here if you can't make jokes about them without facing actual jail and death there.
i just saw the whole special and it was great, but there is no way the claim that KSA has freeer speech than America is justified.
Comedians are the next group of people we need to see for what they are. They are jesters and the mistake we've made in recent years is treating them as though they are scholars.
How he makes his money is how he makes his money. However, the point he's trying to make on hypocrisy falls flat when there is a strong overlap with the people who are critical of the performances in Saudi Arabia and the people who are critical of Israel.

People are still mad about that Saudi money even though mad people are taking it now? The damn WWE is taking full on shows over there. Maybe America need to give folk bread so they don’t have to go over there 
Saudi wants to turn from an oil economy to a tourist destination, so they are trying to get cozy with the western world.People are still mad about that Saudi money even though mad people are taking it now?

USA doesn't need to do that.
Maher specifically is a zionist and hates muslims, it was more of a direct shot at him.
If you watch the special he shyt on DOGE and talked about how destructive Elon and Trump's agenda has been.

and in this Saudi special, how many times did he criticize their "royal" family
i'm not impressed with this race to the bottom. fukk saudi arabia, and fukk israel. we don't owe either country anything
Whose fault is that? By trade, they’re entertainers. Dave said over 20 years ago, “I don’t know why people listen to me. I’ve done commercials for Coke and Pepsi.”
Dave is not a scholar, but he literally comes from a family of educators and is well read.

That’s the disconnect ppl tend have. He’s not tryna be Malcolm, Tupac, Mandela, or some other perceived savior. He’s cracking jokes embedded with some truths and some of his own personal perspectives.
Like yea, Saudi been had a bad rep by most Americans but only recently has the America ppl realized Israel been on demon time too, and been bending America over for ages while the American media instead focused more on how barbaric the brown and black countries are.
That’s the perspective Dave is angling at. If you agree with his views, good for you; if not, well you’re free to find another comedian just like all the other demographics that have found themselves on the opposing side (or receiving end) of his views.
