There are levels to morality sure.
We all pay taxes so on one level we are all responsible for the kids in Gaza being killed because those bombs were built by American companies that are paid by the American goverment that we fund. But no one will say thats the same as going to Epstein Island. Or taking money from a dictator whos doing PR to make his country look a little better on the world stage.


My point is that Chapelle likes whinning about how he got done wrong in Hollywood while being the same type of person that takes money from literal despots who r@pe, orders murders, and is highly restrictive to free speech. Money that wouldn't affect his lifestyle either way.

You cant be a corner boy and whine to the people when the stick up boys come thru. You cant be a prostitute who literally sells yourself to the highest bidder and whine about getting fuked over and finessed.
It's a bit presumptuous to say the money won't effect him either way. You have no idea actually.
Who made these rules you are espousing? If you have to be sinless in order to complain than no one can lodge a complaint ever by your logic. It doesn't hold up.

I didnt say it wouldn't affect him, but it wont affect his lifestyle. He got paid around $2M for that Saudi show. Netflix has paid him over $60M total for his specials. If hes to the point that he HAS to take Saudi Dictator money, it says alot about him.

Who said anything about being sinless besides yourself?

Its hypocritical to whine when you get fuked over if youre someone who takes money directly from people who intentionally and directly do very evil things to other people.

People have a lot of energy for Nicki Minaj c00ning it up with the widow of a racist (understandably). Or Snoop Dogg being the DJ at Trumps inauguration, But Chappelle taking PR money from a despot who literally r@pes and murders and coli brehs over hear on some "let he who is without sin cast the first stone." 🙏🏾


You got it, breh.

Love Dave but one can be against Israel AND Saudi Arabia. They're both conservative repressive regimes using culture to whitewash their public image.

This isn't a "this or that" situation.
Real.

Dave has also performed in Israel before and Saudi Arabia is contributing to genocide in Africa which Dave claims to love.

Honestly it wouldve been better if he just admitted that he's addicted to money and tied it back to his goal of basically buying that white town. He could make a joke about his own hypocrisy by owning it and then using it as an opportunity to talk about how addiction changes a person's decision making. He's literally chain smoking right in front of the audience.

Hanging around painfully unfunny dudes like Rogan has made his skills not as sharp as they would be if he was still living in a predominately black area and hanging with black comedians who he can test material with. He's one of if not THE richest stand up right now, so all the people around him glaze him and cant really roast him. A lack of raw feedback thins your skin and weakens your skills. He could even make a joke about that and tie that back to how he's like Jack Johnson around these white comedians and how hes gotten used to playing on an easier level just like how Jack chose to fight white boxers instead of black boxers who could've potentially been on his level.

Except I'm not "people". I didn't say shyt about Nikki Minaj. Make sense. lol
OK not sinless just the sins YOU deem too horrible to then comment on something else. Dave doesn't know or care what you think is beyond the pale. Why are you acting like he should? Who are you?! lol

Since when did that stop the U.S? :mjlol:

Never… We’re all hypocrites at the end of the day. I’m just trying to understand why we got smoke for entertainers performing in a foreign country, but aren’t hypercritical of ourselves and elected officials for the fukkery that’s going on with our own country….
