Twenty years ago I’d say he was on that trajectory. There was no other black comedian at that time who crossed over like he did while not having to pander to a white audience. I feel like if he didn’t fall off the face of the Earth we’d be talking about him like we do Pryor or Carlin. Chapelle took a bunch of years…

Shitty movies?

As a friend of mine put, very well: “One thing that always makes me laugh about the “it’s my opinion I’m entitled to it” and “freedom of speech” crowd is that it works both ways and they don’t actually like that. It’s only something they tell themselves to make them feel better.”

Bill Maher is king of the dinosaur category. He smokes weed, and thinks that’s all it takes to be relevant.

Seriously. Fuck off. This is just a theoretical game to you - like a thought experiment in Philosophy 101. The connection between hate speech and hate action is obvious and you can study it all you want to for free on the internet. No one here owes you time and attention to explain it to you like a child. “I have seen…

I call it the Limbaugh Effect.

The only person who forgot Dave Chapelle was a comedian is Dave Chapelle.

I really do believe that once this dust settles and he sees the people who have lined up behind him, it will make him very unhappy. Remember he bad a real break down when he realized that white bros were using him as a para social "black friend" who gave them permission to tell "that kind" of joke.

Dave’s rhetoric gets picked up by people and they then can use that to inflict harm on people. It’s how culture works.

All I want for Christmas is for people to stop comparing Dave Chapelle to Richard Pryor and George Carlin.

“Hell the majority of male friendships are based around roasting one another.”

Tim Allen could have been bigger than Will Ferrell or most SNL (my closest comparison to his work) alums other than Murphy if he could have STFU and left his angry politics at home.

Dave Chappelle is not our friend. Dave Chappelle is a stranger. Dave Chappelle doesn’t know a single goddamn thing about you, about me, about anyone else listening to his heavily produced and edited stand-up recordings.

Words have power. Ridiculing others on as big a stage as Dave has has impact. Using your logic, there is no issue to white comedians using the N-word to make jokes about black people? 

I got on the Stern train after the Sirius move and his transformation has been amazing. I can't wait for each episode.

Brilliant take.

Starred for using “bated” instead of “baited”.

I have a simple rule. Someone makes fun of me, they can fuck off forever. I’m sure he had the best of intentions when he proudly announced he was a terf. I’m sure Dave had nothing but love in his heart for his trans friend that committed suicide... right after saying her vagina leaked beet juice. So thanks Dave, your…

I love reading the angry remarks from the greys who are riding your jock so hard waiting with bated breath to hopefully be mentioned in the mailbag. What a set of no life losers!

look no further than the greatest comedian of this generation—Dave Chappelle.
