Black Muslim Woman here who was quite a fan of Chapelle’s even though there were always bits that I disagreed with. It’s been plain as day to me that he’s being willfully obtuse because he knows that there are Muslims who are Black (given that he claims that intersection as part of his life). He wouldn’t DARE say

“I feel like Dave freed the slaves. The comedians, we were slaves to PC [politically correct] culture...

Chapelle seems to be playing the Jerry Seinfeld card. Jerry said he couldn’t do college shows a few years back. What Jerry failed to realize, is those college kids’ parents found him funny.

I hope he puts his mind towards solving climate change soon.

I’m sure these will be very reasonable comments....

I don’t want any good actor to play Bond going forward. The role basically makes them unavailable for much else and lets be honest the movies aren’t great. There’s nothing to do there.

“What we need to cancel is hate.”

Surprise Puma, that’s exactly the one! I wish Kinja wasn’t so busted, I could pull you out of the greys.

The outrage machine gets fed,” ‘cause he fed it. (Machines don’t work by themselves.)

I’m looking forward to Dave’s bit in the next Blue Collar Comedy Tour.

I really need to know what in the fuck constitutes “legitimate protest.” Really one of these thin skinned white folks need to let us all know what kind of protest is acceptable especially in the case of an elected official who ran home to her state to meet with campaign donors instead of staying in Washington to do
