Dave Chappelle triggers the Woke Left..

I know, they consider themselves part of wealthy white society, something like 90% of Jews in America consider themselves white, according to a Pew Research Survey 2020 -

How Jews see themselves isn’t the point, they only make up 3% of the population, with 20% of them living below the federal poverty line, most of those in New York (this particular article from 2013) -

The point is how they are regarded by wealthy white society. Wealthy white society doesn’t regard Jews as being part of their culture, and treats them accordingly. They treat wealthy black society the same, and that’s what sticks in the craw of individuals like Chapelle - doesn’t matter how much he’s worth, he’s still not white, and he is treated accordingly.

That’s the perception he was rallying against when he did his 8:42 monologue and portrayed the rioting among blacks as “the streets talking”. Chapelle isn’t from the streets, he grew up in a well-connected, well-educated family, quite different from the majority of black Americans. But the imagery of persecution serves his purposes, just as it does to portray Jews as being in control of American society when his audience are middle class white people.

It’s a compelling narrative, but utterly false.

Even Jerry Seinfeld was clearly perturbed by the SNL. Seinfeld famously bemoans comedy nowadays being too sensitive etc. but this was one topic even he declined to talk about when asked, just saying the ‘comedy’ was well executed but that he hopes this leads to a productive conversation. He declined to expand on that.

Just read a few pages there, I can't believe how obsessed america is with race apparently, and I live here. I couldn't care less about historic injustice if I am being honest, I have this life to get whatever I can out of, I don't spend my time thinking about the British atrocities to my ancestors for example, all of those people are dead, I don't group people by race and I don't represent a group. It felt like there was a movement back in the 90s, to try to diminish the importance of race but in the last ten years it's like we reversed and decided we should all double down on racial polarization, now it's like every problem must be seen from a racial perspective. You can't have a fight in a grocery store these days without someone commentating on the racial angle. Is there nothing to be said for forgetting about race? Are we not tired of it yet? I know , I know, it's my white privilege, yadda yadda, I honestly wish I had more melanin, I wouldn't get sunburned so often.

I don't see anything in the monologue that would be truly offensive to anyone...

...except Kanye West, Kyrie Irving and stupid Trump supporters. 😁

Comedy Clubs, are you joking? They are generally filled with shít comedians. I'll leave that to yourself.

Poor little Elon. Lives in a bubble probably in shock now. That horse Majorie Taylor green will massage his ego some more on twitter and make all the pain go away. Hilarious how the woke left can trigger Elon and his legion of rimmers. Typical spoilt little bich

Hah? Corporations are now anti-woke, where is this?
