1. Chappelle seems to have changed his attitude a bit from his earlier SNL monologue.

Here's him lecturing us to be "humble winners" 4 months ago, starting at 14:30 mark:





How'd that coddling of these racist, reality-denying assholes work out, Dave?

for those not interested in hearing his "joke" about women deserving to make less than men or his smoking like he's on a 1973 Dean Martin special.

I also didn’t like his dishonest description of Birx's reaction to Trump bleach injection suggestions. She did not look like she thought it might work. And he justified his crack about women's worth with that lie. She clearly had a worried look on her face, not approval or interest. She did not nod. Granted her earlier effusive complimenting of Trump on how his business acumen allegedly helped him to quickly understand the pandemic issues was vomitous, but this was not it.

I would also characterize his comments about "helping save" Yellow Springs a bit dubious. Others may disagree.

And, I don't even know what to do with his comparing the rights fee issue over his show to slavery. That's the kind of thing, that if said by a white person, would be every bit as dumb but would also get them rightly eviscerated in social media.

countries it gets rid of that "pesky copyright" issue. And you can watch Netflix in different countries. So you get a much bigger selection.
