      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.

      A tale as old as time… Comedians get a pass. Everything is funny and comedy should be offensive to some, sometimes.

    Dave Chappelle was lying about growing up in a sketchy neighborhood because it was good for his image.

      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

      Really good weed there too

          Sarcasm. Actually, a pun.

          Artists.

          Sketchy.

          Sketching.

          Like, you know, a quick drawing.

          I’llseemyself^out

          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.

    Yeah the guy is a huge piece of shit, so let’s not try to rewrite history by spreading nice little stories made to make him look good.

    Oh look, a piece of shit needed to relate a commonly understood concept to money just to understand it.

        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.
