Dave Chappelle: Second Amendment 'Is Just in Case the First One Doesn't Work Out'
Reason ^ | 10.28.2019 | Eric Boehm

Posted on 10/28/2019 7:04:41 PM PDT by yesthatjallen

In what he said was an unscripted acceptance speech on Sunday night, comedian Dave Chappelle continued his recent campaign against cancel culture—while openly defying a smoking ban and defending the right to bear arms too.

Chappelle was fêted on Sunday night in Washington, D.C., as this year's recipient of the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, a lifetime achievement award bestowed annually by the Kennedy Center. Known for his irreverent and boundary-pushing sketch comedy show and standup routines, Chappelle has never shied away from an opportunity to eviscerate political correctness for laughs. Sunday's event was no different, according to media reports.

"It's the best part of the First Amendment to me that I'm able to express myself this way and make a viable living doing it," Chappelle told NPR prior to going on stage Sunday night.

Saying that he knows comedians who are "very racist" in their jokes, Chappelle asked everyone listening to please chill.

"Don't get mad at 'em, don't hate on 'em," Chappelle said Sunday. "Man, it's not that serious. The First Amendment is first for a reason. Second Amendment is just in case the first one doesn't work out."

Chappelle is gay...

He seems to have had a wife named Elaine for 18 years.

On the other hand, Leonard Bernstein was married, too. With kids.

Then he continued, “What I really wanted to say tonight, and I’m glad to get the platform to do it: I’m gay! I am gay, and I can’t wait to see what this does for my career, being handled like this.”

Yep. That’s literally why it’s second on the list, immediately following the other natural right of Englishmen Parliament and George III tried to deny us. Could not have said it better.

As one of Jeff Dunham's associates, Walter would say: OOOOH, GOOD COVER!"

Bill Cosby wasn’t a wonderful person who got slandered. HE DRUGGED AND RAPED WOMEN FOR HIS SEXUAL PLEASURE FOR 50 YEARS. He “Bill Cosby’ed” himself. And destroyed lives.

Chappelle is gay...

"Chappelle married Elaine Mendoza Erfe in 2001. They live with their two sons, Sulaymanand Ibrahim and daughter, Sanaa, on a 65-acre (26 ha) farm[10][22] near Yellow Springs, Ohio He also owned several houses in Xenia, Ohio. Chappelle told Yellow Springs' residents in September 2006, "Turns out you don't need $50 million to live around these parts, just a nice smile and a kind way about you. You guys are the best neighbors ever. That's why I came back and that's why I'm staying."”
