Just like I said, if Dave was an elitist and hated poor people, he would not be living in fukking Ohio. right outside of Dayton of all places? My cousin went to Law School at University of Dayton and he couldn’t wait to get the hell out. Some communities don’t want to turn their town into a run of the mill ugly sprawl type of suburb and more power to them. The town doesn’t even allow chains.

People, for whatever reason want to paint Dave as an ogre, but he is not that that from everything I’ve read and seen about the guy.

Chappelle comes from a family with a long history of deeply rooted Civil Rights work. So him not liking poor people didn’t even sound right.

Knew it was nonsensical emotion outrage off rip.

Just realized Chappelle has gone full-circle in a meta kinda way.

To paraphrase, one of the reasons he quit The Chappelle Show was because he felt like he was enabling racist views when a crew member laughed during a sketch, but not at the joke part of it. He felt like he was getting a laugh at the expense of his blackness and was not helping to bridge the gap between blackness and nonblackness.

I think he's now creating a space that enables hate towards non-black minorities, and his views get cosigned by the dumbest of the dumb who hate the 'other' (see: most of TLR). The difference is that unlike 15 years ago, he feels like he is in the right and keeps doubling down on his content. He is becoming less and less of a comic and more and more of an edgelord

Bumping this. Only watched the SNL monologue but he definitely played footsie with the antisemitic tropes in a way that would make Trump proud :francis:. Never openly cosigned it but a lot of head nods and winks.
He's like the real-life Daenerys Targaryen where his character arc goes in a completely unexpected direction that's hard to cosign :snoop:
