His 15 minute monologue was not just “The thing about Jews is, they exist” to uproarious laughter.

Maybe it would have been a better received monologue if it wasn’t making those jokey points in service of defending Dave’s buddy Kanye, who said a lot worse things about Jewish people than “I mean, there ARE a lot of them in Hollywood LOL.”

If you are ignorant, as Chappelle clearly is when it comes to almost any issue that is not about the plight of black and brown men, it makes your comedy worse, because you just say dumb shit that is easily refutable, like this: “If they’re Black, then it’s a gang. If they’re Italian, it’s a mob. If they’re Jewish,…

Yes, watching The Closer was a deeply unpleasant experience because of the transphobia and other anti-LGBTQ+ shit, but it would have been much less so if some of his rants had anything that was recognizable as a “joke” in them.

I mean, that’s probably the case for most comedians whose work transcends decades, although I think Killin’ Them Softly has held up remarkably well in that regard. I’m not sure exactly what you’re referring to, although for sure a few of the Chappelle’s Show sketches are probably rough from the point of view of 15+…

Lol, everyone, nothing to see here, the dozen or so black people this guy knows haven’t reported anything, so nothing to see here!

I mean, it’s America.  Generally speaking, adults are allowed to have guns.  That’s what made the murders of John Crawford III and especially Philando Castile so outrageous.  But in the absence of any threats or illegality, not sure what authorities are supposed to do with a report like that, and I certainly am less…

I doubt that the CEO of the ADL gave a fuck what Dave Chappelle has said about trans people.

Can’t speak for city dwelling white people, of which I am not one, but for a black kid growing up surrounded by white America, his humor really articulated in a great way the hypocrisy of American white supremacy, and especially its treatment of black men. Killin’ Them Softly, which came out when I was 16, was…

“If they’re Black, then it’s a gang. If they’re Italian, it’s a mob. If they’re Jewish, it’s a coincidence and you should never speak about it.”

The person you originally replied to consumed it! They watched it! So weird to spend all this time lecturing people who have already done the thing you purport to want them to do.  (Not to mention spending all this time lecturing people about a freaking SNL monologue.  I’m glad you found it thought provoking, but…

I don’t know how well you can tell whether someone has an “open mind”based on the fact they have a strong opinion that you happen to disagree with. But more basically, who cares?  The person you replied to never claimed to even have an open mind, whatever that even means in this context. And why would it matter?  Why…

The “it’s not for everyone” is obvious, given the person you’re replying to was giving his opinion that he didn’t like it. What a weird reply!

Chill. The guy you’re responding to watched the monologue, and that was his takeaway. I don’t think he’s just writing anyone off. People like you are so fucking sensitive over any criticism. 

Good to see Dave is still capable of being insightful and funny about real current issues, and not just whining unfunnily about his own personal grievances at getting criticized, which the last stand up special I saw from him left in some serious doubt.

It didn’t seem like this was your position all long

it’s not because I think it’s categorically impossible for someone in Musk’s position to, on one hand, promulgate viewpoint-neutral content moderation standards in their capacity as Runner-of-Twitter, while at the same time engaging in partisan political speech as themselves-the-person.

So, Elon Musk doesn’t just have a job, he owns and controls Twitter. He controls the platform. He is not politically neutral, he is explicitly and avowedly partisan. That comes into conflict, variance, and tension with his claim that the platform he controls is partisan.

lol 0/10 on trolling the premise is undercut by the op

I suppose “least favorite” is still *technically* correct, but that phrasing also implies that he gives enough active thought to Tiffany to be able to compare her to his other children. 99.99% of the time, Donald Trump thinks he only has three children. He will forget Tiffany is his daughter as he’s walking her down…
