Current Events > Internet enraged because of Dave Chappelle attacking poor white people.

(+) Yeah! (+)

I thought it was fine. We need more comedians to make uninformed political commentary so we can make sense out of all this chaos. SAVE ME DAVE!

Also this isn't any different from what Charles Barkley said about black people voting democrat, so no need to get your panties in a bunch.

Shuuuuuuut the fuck uuuuuup.

It's a non issue. You're being a man baby.

Don't waste your time. He literally called black people "those people" in a racist outburst a few weeks ago.

Cept that wasn't a joke, he clearly meant what he said. Imagine if a white comedian like say Danial Tosh said the black population in alabama was stupid for voting for jones thinking he's going to fight for them.

I am. Now what?

Chapelle is right. Next.

Racism is racisim, unless you're one of those morons saying black people can't be racist towards white people. You're straight up minimizing the issue by saying it shouldn't bother anybody because it's insignificant. Like I said, a black version of the film comes out with white guys stereotyping black women, see what would happen

Yeah, how dare he make a completely unoffensive joke.

We can't get past racism until we hold everyone to the same standards.

You're right. That's the issue. That's why we haven't gotten past racism.

You nailed it.

Nope, just trying to show outrage for all the poor white feelings that this has hurt. Income disparity, KKK, systemic racism? Nah. What matters is punishing this black man for hurting white feelings by saying that poor white people vote Republican and Republicans harm poor people. How dare he?

Poor white people are pretty dumb tbh

Now imagine a white comic making racial jokes, his career wouldn't go nowhere. Imagine a movie like white chicks getting made but in reverse, two white guys going stereotypical black woman? Or the great white hype?

Hate when people bring this up. Making fun of white stereotypes is not the same as intentionally dehumanizing an entire race, which is what blackface was.

Not to mention movie was trash, not like it made enough money to make an impact in pop culture.

^This. There is literally centuries worth of literature, minstrel shows and cartoons dehumanizing black people to justify racism and oppression. Complaining about white chicks is like an elephant saying that a single mosquito took too much blood.

This attitude stems from a need to feel superior by pretending everything rests on our white man shoulders. We're apparently above complaining and think we gotta fix it all and act like nobody else can.

It's stupid.

TC hasn't posted itt since people started 'debating' each other. Decent troll job, sir.

Stand up comedy is one of the best things in life. Dave is an upper tier comedian. If you're upset by what he said, GOOD.

It's ridiculous when the news actually responds to shit said by comedians. There should never be a discussion on a news channel or site about an SNL skit or some criticism they received on The Daily Show.

It's not like a senator said it.

Or the president, like generalizing Mexicans as rapists. :/

He didn't. Trump was talking about illegal immigrants specifically, not Mexicans in general. And he even said that some of them are good people.

The vast majority of illegal immigrants are law-abiding, aside from their entry into the country. Otherwise, you'd be inundated with stories like the one a month or so ago.

So, he's still baselessly generalizing a certain group, with no real actual knowledge of the situation. And he's the president now, who should have been and still should be held to a much higher standard than a comedian.

Chappelle's joke isn't even offensive.

Ok, so why don't people instead say "I found Trump's remarks on illegal immigrants to be offensive" instead of saying that his remarks were about Mexicans in general?

So %100 true.

Its something crazy like 80% of Obamacare enrollees are from Trump states.
