By all means, tell me what Dr. King really meant when he said the words that he said.

What did he "really mean" when he was writing his letter from the Birmingham jail in which he disparaged the "white moderate"?

So youre arguing MLK wanted only his own children to be free from discrimination, but nobody else? Now youre just wasting my time.

I'm arguing you don't know jack about what Dr. King was fighting for and are using his most commonly cited words as a call for order and quiet rather than justice.

And you've done nothing thus far but prove me correct in that deduction.

Well, actually, now that you mention MLK:

When MLK was alive, there actually was legalized, systemic racism.

I think this is just a really severe case of the Dunning-Kruger effect, and thats my generous assessment.

Nice

Dave Chappelle is way funnier now than he was back in the Chappelle show days

this... except literally the exact opposite of this.

Wow it's so amazing how so many people who like to recall those words of Dr. King can't seem to remember anything else that he said.

Also, you're misquoting. He was specifically talking about his own children in that line.

It's honestly incredible how lacking in self awareness you are.

"How dare you interpret it that way, it was specifically meant to he interpreted in this way."

God, I love Cyric topics.

I actually did go to school for physics.

gg wp no re

That's cool man. Then you should be familiar with the idea that a lot of Modern Physics is people realizing "shit, maybe things aren't as objective as we thought." You should also be familiar with the fact that logic, one of the fundamental concepts behind all science, is a subject in the school of philosophy

All the people in the physics department I went through have nothing but the utmost respect for a lot of the "soft sciences"

Youre wasting your time with him anyway.

Cyric is a bad faith arguer.

I probably won't watch any of them tbqh

I dont really watch Dave Chapelle, but sounds good.

i very much understood the weaponizing of a statistic in order to obfuscate the overall point, much like when disingenuous white people bring up overall murder/police misconduct victim numbers during discussions of systemic racism and police reform

Controversy aside...4 more specials? He wasn't pumping them out this quickly when he was at his peak...how is he gonna do 4 more specials of new content that will likely be released fairly close together?

cant wait i love all his standup comedy shows. Loved him on joe rogan as well. When he was gone from comedy after the chappelle show i searched youtube and found lots of his interviews and such and comedy club stuff. He really is the best. Anyone who tried to cancel him is a piece of shit and thats a fact.

Netflix continues to be the platform of mediocrity.

Dave is the goat and your taste is trash lol.

Yep, Physics + Mech Engineering

The goat, surpassing George Carlin.

Fuck the dumbass people who are are just trying to score internet points. Im a far left socialist but this but this was clear BS.

I'm glad Chappelle is uncancelled (Well he was only partially cancelled from the looks of things but still).

tbf, when he came back to Netflix, he did 2 pairs of specials and then the other 2.

It also looks more like hes just executive producing it, not actually doing the standup too.

No. Hell no.

He's certainly some sort of a farm animal.

Yes I do. They should not have assaulted anyone.

Anything else?

Whoa, one will premiere next Monday on the 28th. That was fast.

breh don't let him bait you

You're right.

They picking up joe rogan too?

Thatd be sweet

Yeah, I agree. He might egg you on to say heinous stuff like that last time you did it.

Practically forcing your hand at this point to bring irrelevant, personal stuff up.

I can't wait to watch all of them!

Can't cancel Dave Chappelle lol.

I'm wondering, do the people who hate Dave at least get what he's saying/where he's coming from?

Please explain it to me in case I missed something.

I can't explain your own opinions on something.

No please explain to me what he's saying/where he's coming from.

Dave Chappell did that pretty well in the special itself.

If you took Cyric at face value he has a real tenuous grasp on every single argument hes been a part of since he needs everyone to explain every little thing to him.

Though anyone can see how weak and spineless of a tactic it is to say as little as possible, have no arguments or opinions and get others to argue for you. Either way its exhausting seeing someone go so far out of their way to be in every fight and say absolutely nothing at the end of the day.

It's quite simple.

I'm holding people to account for the claims they make.

Why should I do others' work for them?

The irony that you think you dont do any work presenting your own arguments or understanding even the most basic of points, so why should anyone do that for you or go out do their way to explain things that only you seem to struggle with.

Remember he is the guy who trolled someone by using their dead girlfriend against them

I'm not remotely the one struggling here.

I'm largely here to support the trans people in this topic. They've made their points. These are arguments we've had six months ago.

There's also the casual observer to think about, would be interesting to see how you would explain where he's coming from...but no matter what you come up with none of the folks around here are gonna concede anything positive about one of their pariahs. Dave Chappelle may as well be Jorben Shapetersoniro, they are too consumed by the joy of hatred to see him clearly anymore

gunplagirl posted...

He's saying that pointing out transphobes makes the transphobes hate trans people more. But they did to begin with so really it's just a shitty manipulation tactic to try and victim blame.

Not quite, its like bible thumping, go believe what you want but if you try to grandstand in others spaces and dictate what can be said then thats always going to backfire.

We know that it backfires because the attempts to cancel Dave/Netflix/jokes just made his special even bigger. At the end of the day there are no protected species in comedy.

Doesn't make it right what he said. Real people get hurt when anti trans hate speech is spread around. People even die
