    If he did one special about a trans joke and apologized I’d feel different. He did 4 specials bashing trans people. Now this rat fuck is trying to “redeem” himself. He can go fuck himself. Just another rat fleeing the sinking ship. Don’t forget he bought out elon musk and everyone booed him.

      "Hey guys I just realized I allied with a bunch of fascist pedophiles and now the only people who want to associate with me are the same people who unironically called me the N word my entire life.

      Can y’all just conveniently forget I did that and give me more money again?" - Dave Chappelle

        He’s poor, compared to Musk. If the Sociopathic Oligarchs had their way, he’d survive their purge, but not because he’s rich, but because he’d be their dancing monkey. The moment he stopped being funny to them, they’d just send him off to the camps, and keep his paltry fortune.

          Which is supposedly what he was refusing to be when he quit his show so long ago.

            Maybe they did get rid of him and what we’re seeing now isn’t the same person who ran off to Africa way back.

      Dave chased “controversy” (aka bigotry) to stay relevant. Now he’s somehow surprised that it was insincere culture war bullshit used to distract people the whole time? Fuck off.

      The other thing is that his timing on this is opportune as well. He waited for Trump to become extremely unpopular before coming out with statements like this.

      Agreed.

      I always make this comparison with Eddie Murphy.

      The long and short of it is

      Eddie Murphy did some gay jokes in his stand up special Delirious. He then references how gay people were angry at him and his next stand-up special Raw.

      It takes up a minute and a half.

      He never references again and the rest of the special is mostly about men and women, Johnny Carson and his family; with some small jabs at Michael Jackson and Italians watching Rocky.

      And of course a fantastic bit about Bill Cosby. I think it’s worth a watch just for that, considering everything that he has done.

      Yeah, I feel like the first special was harmless.

      All he really did was point out that trans people have a longer path toward acceptance than gay people.

      But damn, did he quadruple down. Of course it’s the Republicans’ fault now that it’s time to pay the piper.
