Agreed. Its getting to a point where he's seen as a hero for right wing MAGA types. This chick for example was in line flipping off protestors while in line to see him in Minneapolis
I've been saying for a minute that Comedy Central/Killin em Softly Chapelle was feared and despised by right wing racists. This new Dave Chappelle who's only material nowadays is whining about trans people, getting canceled, and political correctness like some type of disgruntled radio cac has become a hero to these deplorables.
Yet let the Coli tell it and this boring new Joe Rogan-adjacent shyt slinging is "spitting knowledge," some how elevating black consciousness, and above criticism. I thought the Tariq stans were the worst but Chapelle fans are like lost children who never knew they father or something. They ready to fight if you dare speak against their God. As if the man is some type of persecuted activist-scholar and not a washed up millionaire entertainer who had a good Comedy Central show he didn't even write on his own. He's clearly ran out of material, and has jumped aboard this tired bandwagon of bullying and punching down on "SJWs" and trans to stay controversial and relevant.
Meanwhile a bunch of Fox News watching psychos who believe the 2020 election was rigged, black people come from "shythole countries," and called Chapelle an anti-white racist just ten years ago when he was actually taking on REAL issues are now clapping like circus seals at his whiny tired monologues towards the most non-threatening shyt out there. The man is not a victim. He is not Muhammad Ali. The shyt has lost all it's substance, all it's intellect, and just looks like one-sided browbeating and a cheap schtick at this point. There's nothing to laugh at or think about. Dude's just fronting like the shyt is more cerebral than it actually is.
Anytime I turn on a comedy special if the first thing I hear is the same ole tired bytching and whining about "political correctness" or "no one can take a joke no more" or whatever, I turn it off. Tired of this shyt. Yes, this generation takes diversity and insensitive speech towards marginalized people more serious than generations before. Get the fukk over it and come up with some other shyt already. Every one of these dudes, including Chapelle. telling the same jokes at this point and people are starting to catch on with this gimmick. Only alt-right anti-social idiots who get an honest kick out of seeing others bullied still finds this shyt funny.
