Is that new slang for a black person?
So we running with the “DaveChapelle is for white ppl” narrative now?

Been saying this for the longest. Colorism and punching down on nikkas but we thought it was just satire. As a grown man I definitely peep it tho

This right here. I dont think dave is a sellout/c00n/etc
but this is exactly what he did

I meant he is for everybody in the sense that although he isn't doing black comedy, black people still fukk with him. A breh like Hannibal Buress doesn't do black comedy, but black people still don't fukk with him. Dave isn't that.
You know damn well “being for everybody” if you’re a black comedian basically means “he’s been co-opted by white ppl”. This is the narrative ppl are running with in 2021. Chappelle as a “not-for-black consumption” comedian was always an unpopular opinion before this Netflix shyt. You see him hanging with Rogan and ppl like that, and now it’s “Yeah, he’s always done comedy for white ppl”.
In 2021, identity politics dictates more than ever how you’re views and box ppl wanna put you in.
Yeah he would fit more in with a white audience than black, but I wouldn't call him a comedian majority of black people look the other way at
Why would I make this up?

Did you also know he turned down Bubba Gumb role?
Not saying you are. I just find it hard to believe that four comedians who came up together, were friends, and were already house hold names would offer a slot on a stadium tour with chappelle who was virtually unknown outside hardcore comedy circles

My aunt told me as a child
I agree with her now
It's only on this board
This sentiment is BULLSHYT
Boondocks and Chappelle Show don't have a huge morally sound margin between each other
Any criticism about one could be directly applied to the other

Bernie didn’t have a show. Neither did DL. But they were selling out theaters. Dave was also selling out theaters(2000-3000 seaters).
Dave was also the only one with an hour long HBO special. That was a huge accomplishment for a comic in those days. HBO only put out a handful of specials each year. An HBO special meant you were the cream of the the crop.
The revisionist history is ridiculous
Nikkas just crafting shyt trying to win arguments
EVERYBODY was on Chappelle Show. Trying to paint it any different is nikkas trying to create an angle to look militant
fukk who u prefer
if Kat & Dave had a show in a black venue who do y’all think the people gonna go to first?

3 of those dudes were on network sitcoms. One was a staple on comedy specials and popular hood movies. Dave had half baked
Not that I know too many nikkas that watch Mel Brooks movies (besides myself lol), but
That was a big deal and he was only like 19. More black people seemingly knowing him more from Blue Streak and Nutty Professor than THAT tells you why he passed on Kings of Comedy.
DL definitely had a show in 97. Bernie was in Friday, playas club, etc in addition to comic view and other comedic shows. That HBO special wasn’t until like 2000 and the KOC tour was going on like a year before. And I’m not talking small theaters and clubs im talking 20k+ stadiums which is what that tour was doing nightly. IDK why y’all are trying to act like Dave was some huge deal pre Chappelle show or he was known in the black community. He just wasn’t and there is nothing wrong with that
This was also the case for Public Enemybtw i see ppl making this argument but your content doesn't really determine your audience, or if so only to a certain degree
i went to dead prez concerts in the early 2000s. they whole content was fukk whitey but 95% of their fans back then were....white people
i actually learned about them (and slum village) from all the rich cacs who had their patches on their bookbags at my private school
Aside from chitlin circuit nikkas(tho the chitlin circuit is almost non existent these days) most black entertainment is consumed overwhelmingly by white peope
That's why nikkas routinely look silly on this board having fanbase wars on some "
you must be a cac to be endorsing _____"White people have always been the majority consumers of black shyt off numbers alone.
They like the shirtless nikkas pointing guns at the screen killing opps and they love the socially conscious I'm black and I'm proud nikkas too
