It’s the whole reason he defends his trans jokes now.
Why do you need to defend them if they’re meant to be cynical?
He never defended his jokes on child molestation and Michael Jackson, why is this the line?
And really it’s his fault. He dropped out for a decade, wants as much money back as soon as possible, and…

So it’s manslaughter then. People should be charged and go to jail.

I’m not absolving him of the bigoted shit he said, just saying there’s a perfectly reasonable explanation as to why he’s not bending the knee immediately.

>Or we could all just lighten the fuck up and stop trying to force our feelings on others.

You’re making it sound like they want a pound of flesh from him and he has a right to be wary. The “dialogue” would just be:

Dave may be listening, but is he hearing? Or is he doing the bad boyfriend thing of nodding and occasionally going “mmhmm” when the sound indicates that he should probably engage somehow?

All the above. This.

Unfortunately, they hired a non-union fixer to do it!

He’s a bigot because he plays stupid bigot games. It ain’t that deep. 

Wait - you think trans people are the bigots in this situation?

Now that we know that Netflix wasted a shitton of money on this very rich man to diminished returns, you know ol Davey boi has been outed as violating WP’s Number 1 rule: Do. Not. Fuck. With. My. Money.

lol, of course Dave is listening. And he’s writing his next special. And then the tour with Joe Rogan. They don’t give a shit, they live off attention and money now

I always ask my niece and nephew around Easter “If Jesus rose from the dead, does that make him a zombie?”

Any conversation that Chappelle has with Netflix employees will become fodder for his next stand-up special. The more people try to engage with him the more contrarian he will become. There’s never going to be any real resolution here.

“At some point, when everyone is open, I’m sure our communities will come together,” says a rep for Chappelle.

Dave is doing and saying the things that old white guys used to when they got in trouble with black, brown, and POC communities. “I’m listening” is asking folks to display their pain to you, educate you (without you lifting a finger), and all with no guarantee that you’ll understand or apologize.

Too soon... but also, I hate myself for laughing.

He was just trying to put on a play for Passover, but then somebody replaced the fake cross with a real one!

This is why you hire union.

Agree with you that just about anything that is deep fried is typically only worth getting at a restaurant. That said, I highly recommend the air fryer/grocery store frozen fry combo. I like the ore-ida crinkle cuts. Amazingly, they’re really just as good as any fast food French fry, and they often rival them since…
