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. Of course he wasn’t going to do college shows, ever. He plays charity and award shows for millionaires (at least). Chapelle is

‘You’re no longer free in this country. You’re not free to say what you want, you say what we want you to say. Otherwise we will cancel you.’ That’s the discussion we should have.

The wild thing is that another cis dude felt as though his perspective mattered more than, say, any trans people. Like, my dude, you wouldn’t accept a white guy telling you whether something was racist when a lot of Black folks were saying it was, why on Earth can’t you figure that same thing out when it’s about

Look, you can’t say deliberately offensive things for shock humor, and simultaneously be offended that others are offended by you...

I hate learning how stupid so many celebrities are.

People who conflate funny with edgy/offensive are exhausting.

Seems interesting, but the pedantic side of me is like, “even if they know *something* has changed, what’s the point of ‘checking everything’ and asking questions? They’d never know *what* has changed because they wouldn’t know what the previous timeline was like.”

“Hey, Fyre Festival? It’s your cousin, Coachella. You know those horrible decisions you made? Well listen to THIS

If nothing else, I’m grateful for the following quote:

Damn, Dave Chappelle got “cancelled” so hard somebody ELSE got suspended. 

“...today’s update represents the 17th zero-day patch made to Apple’s products this year alone.”

They know their purposely ineffective nudging won’t do anything.   Because Facebook is pure evil.  It’s like the ‘tobacco is whacko if you’re a teen’ crap, which they knew would just increase the number of teen smokers.

i didnt hate the first season of the revival... i just didnt care for it after a few episodes.

If it wasn’t racially motivated, why did they have guns drawn for an unarmed alleged squatter?

Yes, because you are above all that basic human biology, and have no traits that would verge on addiction at all.

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.
