BLACK RACISM, ANTI-SEMITISM, ANTI-ASIAN, HOMOPHOBIC, VIOLENCE AND IGNORANCE AS DISPLAYED BY THIS CLOWN CHAPPELLE

Comedian Dave Chappelle’s The Closer: A racist

tirade disguised as stand-up comedy

The Case against Dave Chappelle as Trailblazing Free Speech Hero

By Christopher Skeet

Dave Chappelle used to be funny.  He's not anymore.  I write this not to insult the guy, but such is the occasional trajectory among not just comedians, but all entertainers.   Think Oasis or Velvet Underground in the music industry, or Cameron Diaz or Shia LaBeouf in Hollywood.  Like blue stars, they briefly burn hotter and brighter than all the others, and then they promptly collapse into themselves.  But Chappelle's descent is noteworthy in that it was self-inflicted.

I recently watched Chappelle's latest Netflix specials, Sticks and Stones (2019) and The Closer (2021), because I heard they were "controversial" (i.e., they offended leftists), and I wanted to see what the kerfuffle was all about.  The only thing I found controversial was how boring these two supposed "comedy" specials were.  Chappelle doesn't tell jokes that are unfunny; he just doesn't tell very many jokes at all.  His routines consist of hour-long sermons in which the underlying theme consists of three points:

1. I'm black and oppressed.
2. White people are my oppressors.
3. Any other group claiming oppression is unjustly diverting attention from point #1.

The perpetually oppressed Chapelle (worth $50 million) mistakenly assumed that, as a black person, his place at the top of the left's intersectional hierarchy was set in stone.  He didn't realize he'd been bumped off this perch years ago by the transgendered (who will in turn be bumped off by some other group once their political utility has been sapped).  He's upset about this, and his aforementioned Netflix specials are poorly camouflaged attempts to reclaim this lost status. 

He ends The Closer with a groveling apology to the transgender community for the jokes he made about them in Sticks and Stones, and he pledges not to make any further jokes at their expense.  The apology is laughably disingenuous, and its underlying message translates clearly:  Whoa, hey, wait a minute, take it easy transgendered community, I'll concede we're both victims in this irredeemably evil nation, so let's put our minor differences aside and re-focus our hate on America, where it belongs.

But Chappelle quickly learned that unconditional surrenders tend to embolden the enemy rather than placate them.  Like clockwork, leftists demanded that Netflix cancel Chappelle's special, with some Netflix employees staging a walk-out.  Mainstream media ran stories defending cancel culture and blaming Chappelle for violence against transgenders.  Chappelle belatedly attempted to dig in, stating, "I am not bending to anybody's demands."  Too late.  You already bent like wet paper when you made promises to ideological fanatics bent on destroying your career.  Did you think they were going to meet you halfway?

Comedians fancy themselves the vanguards not only of free speech, but of pushing envelopes, of breaking taboos, of walking up to the line and stepping over it, and of shoving in our faces all those uncomfortable topics we'd prefer just not to discuss in polite society.  To the extent that they're willing to stick it to racial, political, cultural, and religious groups deemed fair game by the paymasters and their social media thought police, they're correct.  Tear into those toothless white male, gun-carryin', snake-handlin', pickup truck–drivin', trailer park Alabamans all you want.  Because nothing broadcasts exhilarating courage more than rich comedians mocking, without fear of consequence, the same group of powerless lower classes attacked relentlessly by the mainstream media, Hollywood, late-night talk show hosts, and most every other comedian for the last half-century.

But these same daring, edgy comedians are now flabbergasted to learn that what they assumed were careers spent dishing their truth-to-power shtick to repressed audiences starving for it were actually careers spent parroting state-sanctioned propaganda to conditioned lemmings who dutifully applaud rather than laugh.  All went well until a few of these comedians meandered out past the borders of acceptable Party ideology.  Now, like Nikolai Antipov, Sergey Kirov, and Nikolai Shvernik before them, they're starting to disappear from official photographs.  The hosting invites are being rescinded; the film showings are being nixed. 

Admirable rearguard actions to defend free speech are attempted by comedians like John Cleese, Ricky Gervais, and even Bill Maher.  But it's too little, too late.  Too many of their comrades are, like Kevin Hart and Hank Azaria, meekly apologizing or, like Seth Rogen and Katt Williams, outright supporting cancel culture.  To paraphrase Martin Niemoller:

First they came for the conservative campus speakers, and you did not speak out — because you don't actually believe in free speech from which you don't directly profit.

Then they came for Christian bakers, and you did not speak out — because Christianity is the only religion you'll deride on stage.

Then they came for ordinary citizens in MAGA hats, and you did not speak out — because you're an overtly racist bigot whose "comedy" acts are dreary exercises in psychological projection. 

Then they came for you — and there was no one left to speak for you.  Nor will there be, because we have long memories.

Wit and wisdom are two different things, and they should not be mistaken for each other.  Comedians who thought they had their finger on the pulse of society should have seen this locomotive barreling down the tracks long before it plowed through them.  They must feel like those kapos who, after herding everyone else into the gas chambers, were apoplectic upon learning that they, too, were scheduled to be "disinfected."  How ironic that we tried to warn them...until we were shut down by the very mobs they helped incite, which have now turned on their enablers.   

Well, laugh it up, because now it's your turn.  Frankenstein's monster always comes home.

Black Lives Matter Ripped for Thanksgiving ‘You Are On Stolen Land’ Post

Black Lives Matter (BLM) experienced much backlash on Thanksgiving when it described America as “stolen land.”

“You are eating dry turkey and overcooked stuffing on stolen land,” the organization wrote in a social media post on Thursday which also included a graphic.

“Colonization never ended, it just became normalized,” the graphic read:

The group then urged followers to “Find out which ancestral homeland you’re currently occupying” by visiting a website.

However, social media users fired back at the organization, one person writing, “But blm founders own houses shouldn’t you give those up first?”

“Then give up your houses card money jobs and everything else you own because that’s all on stolen land too,” another commented.

“Every square inch of land occupied on this planet was stolen/conquered. You’re normalizing generational victimization and it’s gross,” yet another user replied.

In June, photos showed BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors apparently built a wall surrounding her $1.4 million house after stepping down amid criticism of her lifestyle, according to Breitbart News.

The Daily Mail initially reported Cullors “has been busy upgrading her ‘Marxist’ mansion in the rustic but ritzy Topanga Canyon area of Los Angeles County amid the fallout over her $3 million property portfolio.”

According to Breitbart News, Cullors, a “trained Marxist,” was believed to have purchased four homes over the past several years, as her activist profile gained attention and protests raged around the nation:

Cullors resigned from her position May 27 after the controversy about her personal wealth — “though she, and the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation (BLMGNF), denied that had anything to do with it.”

Cullors’ stake in the property and the intent to protect it is worth noting due to her Marxist bent, which contends that private property is a result of the upper class oppressing the lower class, according to the Marxist ideology.

On Thursday, social media users also described their Thanksgiving meals, one person writing, “I didn’t have turkey though, I had chicken. Which mansion did you send this from?”

On October 5, veteran US comedian David Chappelle premiered his latest stand-up comedy special The Closer on Netflix.

Chapelle’s 72-minute special, however, is not comedy so much as it is a racist rant. No other major American entertainment figure in recent memory has openly advocated anti-Semitism and gloated over racist violence directed against Asians, whom he foully chooses to identify with the COVID-19 pandemic, in this manner.

 

Dave Chapelle in "The Closer"

He recalls being ill with COVID-19 and watching videos of black people assaulting Asian Americans, asserting, “I couldn’t help but feel like, when I saw these brothers beating these Asians up, that’s probably what’s happening inside of my body.”

Amid a ferocious campaign by the fascist right to demonize China, anti-Asian hate crimes have surged in the United States. In many instances, those engaging in violence against Asian Americans invoked the libel that China was responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic.

Immediately following his anti-Asian comments, Chappelle likened Jewish people to an invasive alien species: “So they come back to Earth, and they decide they want to claim the Earth for their very own. Pretty good plot line, huh? I call it ‘Space Jews.’”

Chapelle roots these remarks in his advocacy of racial identity politics. As he says, “Gay people are minorities, until they need to be White again.” Chapelle holds a view of the world in which racial and sexual identities are locked in a zero-sum game, so that an advance in gay rights or women’s rights is a defeat for black rights.

The New York Times’s columnist Roxane Gay, a race and gender zealot, condemns Chapelle’s special as a “joyless tirade of incoherent and seething rage, misogyny, homophobia and transphobia.” However, she goes on to claim that Chappelle “delivers five or six lucid moments of brilliance.” She praises his “interesting and accurate observation about the white gay community conveniently being able to claim whiteness at will. There’s a compelling observation about the relatively significant progress the L.G.B.T.Q. community has made, while progress toward racial equity has been much slower.” That is, Gay agrees with Chapelle’s premises but perhaps not all his conclusions. It is worth noting that she says nothing about Chapelle’s anti-Asian and anti-Semitic observations.

In 2017, Gay gave proof of her anti-democratic outlook when, in the face of criticisms about the destruction of careers and lives in the #MeToo witch-hunt on the basis of unnamed, unsubstantiated accusations, she complained about “a lot of hand-wringing about libel and the ethics of anonymous disclosure.”

It is not an accident that Chappelle finds himself squarely in the anti-Semitic camp. Practitioners of black nationalist ideology have frequently made common cause with white supremacists and other political filth, as have proponents of Zionism and Jewish nationalism, for that matter. The Nation of Islam, which notoriously conducted meetings with the Ku Klux Klan in the Jim Crow South and praised American Nazi Party leader George Lincoln Rockwell in the late 1950s and early 1960s, is also known for its violent anti-Semitism, Holocaust denial and anti-gay rhetoric.

In an earlier day, Chappelle established himself as a commentator with an acerbic wit who could choose deserving targets and developed a youth following in particular as a result. He is best known for his hit three-season run of Chappelle’sShow (2003-2006) on Comedy Central. Chappelle famously abandoned the series and a lucrative contract with the television station due to his criticism of the show. While many of the show’s segments were vulgar and backward, his skits lampooning former-President George W. Bush’s efforts to sell the war in Iraq did capture an element of the criminality and gangsterism of the administration.

Chappelle’s personal and political background is worth a comment. Born on August 24, 1973 in Washington D.C. to parents William David Chappelle III and Yvonne Seon, David Khari Webber Chappelle has lived firmly ensconced within an upper middle class African and African American milieu. His father, William, attended Ivy League colleges and taught music while serving as dean of students at Antioch College in the town of Yellow Springs, Ohio, where Chappelle himself owns large amounts of property.

The elder Chappelle was involved in civil rights and protest groups, including Help Us Make a Nation (H.U.M.A.N.), which sought to “address institutional racism and discrimination,” according to the 365 Project. Chappelle’s mother, Yvonne, worked for a time in the government of the Democratic Republic of Congo’s bourgeois nationalist government of Patrice Lumumba. Notably, she later worked in the United States Department of State. She then founded a Black Studies Center at Wright State University.

Chappelle (net worth $50 million) introduces The Closer by declaring, “I’m rich and famous,” followed by the explanation that the “last 17 months were hell and I cannot imagine what everyone went through.” While this elementary acknowledgement of the socially disparate impact of coronavirus may be honest, the pandemic has had an accelerating impact on society, sharpening class conflict.

Whereas the working population has responded to the pandemic with a still-growing strike wave against the profits-before-lives policy of the capitalist leaders, the ruling class and its well-to-do hangers-on have responded by whipping up fascistic and racist demagogy to divide and confuse the working class. This has gone hand and hand with the homicidal drive to force teachers, students, workers and parents into unsafe workplaces and schools to resume production amid record COVID-19 infections and deaths.

The movement of the working class, which has revolutionary implications, is attracting the most thoughtful and progressive layers of the middle classes to its side and repelling the more selfish and degenerate affluent elements. It is the responsibility of the former to reject the racist garbage that bourgeois society is secreting from its pores and to fight for the international unity of the working class of all nations and backgrounds.

One does not know which is more disgusting, Chapelle’s gloating about violence against Asian Americans or the declaration by the New York Times, which claims to be America’s “newspaper of record” that such a tirade contains moments of “brilliance.”
