Woah. Didn't hear about that. I (nearly literally) live under a rock with some isopods, though, so that might explain why.
Turns out two things can be true: you can be a giant piece of shit, and still have the occasional good take, I guess.
Hey, behaviour wise, what do they most resemble? Do they recognise you? Do they like cuddling or any form of affection like other pets? Are they food driven? Can you teach them tricks or otherwise train them?
Dave did grow up in a sketchy neighborhood. Have you seen Yellow Springs? You can't throw a rock without hitting an artist. Those hippies are always sketching something
eta: and Yellow Springs, Ohio is a quiet little liberal town in the middle of deep red Trump cuntry, and is about as dangerous as Bergen when the sun is out
I wouldn't even call it the middle of deep red country. It's a day trip from Columbus (blue), Dayton (light blue), and kinda a schlep but doable from Cincinnati (blue). Its immediate surroundings are deep red except Springfield. But it's in the path of the 3 Cs
It's also where the republican party was formed, but that's because ohio really fucking hated slavery at the time.
It is kinda dangerous if you try to start shit at peaches. But yeah the danger is a single biker bar and the occasional fascist looking to start shit. Oh and quite a bit of drugs, but hippie drugs not the meth and heroin problem neighboring towns have.
Hitler loved dogs. Now think about how Trump is the only US president to have no pets, and dislike animals. Trump has less empathy — is more sociopathic — than Hitler.
Why is quoting a good thing they said somehow interpreted as rewriting history, especially when it's actually true that they said it? That's almost by definition, not "rewriting" history
It can be taken as an endorsement of his other views too and I'm sure there's plenty of people that aren't shit head bigots that have had a similar realization about the vulnerability of women.
No I fucking don't, fuck Dave Chappelle, he's transphobic piece of bigot shit, his Clayton Bigsby ass brought a fucking nazi on stage, he doesn't deserve anything but fucking derision.
What if it's just a good joke from early in his career which resonates with people, and reposting some of his better work doesn't actually mean you're writing history
The problem comes in that there's no clean way to promote a tainted subject. We aren't out here talking about the (VERY) minor positive qualities in Hitler's pre-politics paintings, or whether Ronald Reagan had decent acting chops.
There are plenty of other, less-massively-problematic comedians, artists, politicians, actors, and other public figures to promote and laud the work of that we really can just set aside the possibly decent contributions of otherwise bad people. It just doesn't matter enough. Find someone cool who did a good thing and talk about that instead.
Is it promoting someone to laugh at an old joke? I don't think anyone is saying this makes Dave chappel good?
I happen to be familiar with chappels work but let's say I wasn't. Am I supposed to get this random tweets sources before I laugh to check if I'm allowed to enjoy this artist?
Is this the same guy who at a show brought out his friend Elon Musk to loud BOOs, then snap that the BOOs were only coming from the cheap seats, ie "poor" people? The sooner Chapelle is forgotten the better for humanity. Every anecdote he tells about his past is a complete fabrication. One year he tells his parents died when he was young, the next year he will tell you about the lavish vacation he can afford to send them on. And when he gets called out on his bullshit he cowardly runs away to africa to let his PR people spin it as a sympathetic moment.
His parents were academics. I never said he was ghetto poor. Working class is working class. He was educated in public schools.
Do you have any evidence his family were "wealthy", or he "led a rich privileged upbringing"? If not, you're spreading lies and fake news; no better than any propagandist.
To be fair, he's not saying that's how he learned to understand it. He's using it as a way to help other people understand it. And the type of people who need the help probably understand the analogy.
Seventeen when he had the money, not when he said that in the special. He never said definitively when he made the connection between the two. For all we know it wasn't until he was writing the special and needed a segue and went "damn".
The important part is how people are definitely not reactionary nowadays, Our intellect has grown, we are evolving! We can tell, because we are always correct now, and always on moral high ground. Obviously. Anyone who would even question that is ignorant. We know this so deeply it evokes rage when anyone is ignorant enough to question what we know. It is obvious we were inherently on the correct side, because we actually took the time to figure it out and they just go with the stupid things they feel or have naively just accepted without questions. This is why they all need to shut up, and they all need to go. I mean, if they would just listen for a second or do some research like we did but no, their refusal to do so just proves their ignorance. I don't want to say we're superior, but you know, we just know more because we put in more work.
I have a pussy. I frolic around alone in bikinis and on nude beaches on a regular basis and everyone is respectful. The world is not as dangerous for women as Dave Chappelle imagines.
