It also sounds like the kinds of excuses NIMBYers always make: “I love affordable housing, just not this particular affordable housing development that happens to be IMBY.” There’s always some complaint—it’s in the wrong style, it obstructs someone’s view, that parking lot is a historic landmark, etc.—that offers a…

That exact same argument has been used for decades (if not centuries) to keep out some “undesired” class, whether it be Blacks, Jews, or poor people. It’s a bullshit argument. Aesthetics are not more important than people.

When people oppose affordable housing, they often do it for reasons other than distaste for poorer people. Instead, they raise the kinds of concerns Chappelle is voicing here: the development is not consistent with the character of the neighborhood, or it won’t be aesthetically pleasing, or it will increase traffic,…

One might think that Mr. Harden is suspect.  I honestly don’t know if he is chasing a ring, stats, or paper.  

Who won? The Philadelphia strip clubs.

Is this shit suprising tho? This motherfucker could have lived anywhere he wanted and he chose a tiny ass town in fucking Ohio. I’ve lived in Ohio its a shitty, racist place and he chose to live there. He’s fully become one of his characters.

1.75 acres is 76,230 square feet. That is much larger than an average family home. A house that was 76K sq ft would be the 11th largest house ever built in the US.

Nah, just an apologia on behalf of Chappelle from a perennial pennant-waver.

Give it a year before his next special, “Pull Yo Pants UP!”

He’s transphobic and full on NIMBY?

Yep. Fuck him. I’m sure his “I’m RICH, BIATCH” shtick will be ably supported by the fucking Larry the Cable Guy set.

In case you were wondering if Dave Chappelle has gone full asshole, yeah, he’s apparently willing to pull all his investments out of a town if poor people move there.

Hiring Cad Bane is not cheap. Something had to go-the vending machines in the Pyke Syndicate break room or the monthly grenade allotment.

Minneapolis had a chance to abolish their inept, murderous police force last election cycle and stupidly chose not to.

He  was saying it to let black people know that they can’t tell him what to do, so ‘to be racist’ is the correct answer.

For anyone so inclined, there's an informative piece in the NYT about how so many districts have been gerrymandered to hell and back just to ensure that the races aren't competitive. Anything to disenfranchise and maintain status quo

if it were once then maybe, but its his talk show. many times with many different guests he slammed that ship into the rocky shoals of "organically" saying it. he was the one piloting, its his fault that it kept coming up.

The “C” still stands for “colored”, so... Asian? Colored? And if they wanted to just focus on black people they would have changed it to a “B” by now.

Nah, this is wasted backlash! Plus the NAACP has nominated racist pieces of shit before, including Donald Sterling. We need to choose our battles  carefully and strategically. This ain't it!

I like how people are mad at HER for a nomination granted to her by a third party.
