Dave Chappelle ‘Sticks & Stones’: Why I’m not allowed to say f*ggot but allowed to say N-word?
Stick and Stones Special

Posted on 09/04/2019 6:17:35 AM PDT by Bigtigermike

So she sits me down. We have a nice conversation. She tells me, “Oh, the sketches are great.” I go, “Oh, fantastic. Well, then… well, then, why am I here?” She said, “Because, David, there’s no way… that you can ever say the word… “f*ggot” on our network.

I didn’t know I did anything wrong. I didn’t try to defend myself. I said, “All right. F*** it, I’ll take it out. Have a good afternoon.”

And as I was leaving, it occurred to me. “Hey. Hey, Renée, quick question. It’s just a question. Seriously, I wanna know. Like, wh-why is it… why is it that… that I can say the word “n*gger” with impunity… …but I can’t say the word “f*ggot”?”

And she said, “Because, David, you are not gay.” I said, “Well, Renée… I’m not a n*gger either.”

But, you see, what I didn’t realize at the time and what Kevin [Hart] had to learn the hard way is we were breaking an unwritten and unspoken rule of show business. And if I say it, you’ll know that I’m telling you the truth.

The rule is that no matter what you do in your artistic expression, you are never, ever, allowed to upset… the alphabet people. You know who I mean. Those people that took 20% of the alphabet for themselves. I’d say the letters, but I don’t want to conjure their anger. Ah, it’s too late now. I’m talking about them L’s and them B’s and them G’s and the T’s.

And just like the N word they call others like themselves that with pride. However if a straight person says it, then look out.

BOOM. She basically called him a n*gger to his face.

I like Dave. He’s happy to call out BS anywhere he sees it.

A great show. By the way, are we not allowed to type words like “nigger” or “faggot” when referring to them in an objective context?

Yep. Most liberals are the racists! The KKK was an arm of the Democrat Party

Just saw that last night.

He said when the blacks were going through the crack scourge the collective societal response was "just say no," like it's their own fault.

Now that whites are going through the opioid scourge it's called a mental illness and addiction i.e. beyond their control.

Never saw it that way before, and he's right.

I was just playing it safe. You never know how a mod feels about this or that

"Just say no" was directed at all drug use.

I am currently on a 30 day ban from twitter because I commented the two words below on a fags twitter page who btw was bashing Christians and conservatives unmercifully. I was then attacked by all his gay friends who called me every vile name in the book.

The truly Clown World part of this is that they are deplatforming him for “White Supremacy”. Honest to God, you can’t make this stuff up.

I watched a rerun of the 1970s TV Series “Match Game” the other night. A word said during the question was muted multiple times. Charles Nelson Reilly made a comment about the word no longer being current (and this was originally aired in the 1970s). I am not sure the word but it could have been “fag,” likely allowed backs then but not now in reruns, based on an interpretation of the question.

His bit on the “Alphabet People” was hilarious.

I also loved when he skewered the feminazis by pointing out that men should have choice too. They sure did go silent there after hooting and hollering that men shouldn’t have anything to say about abortion.

He’s a master at leading his audience into thinking he’s going to pander to “woke” ideology for cheap applause.....then SMASHING them with a right cross showing their utter hypocrisy.

Whether you like Chappelle or not he is independent and his own man. About ten years ago iirc his fellow comedians voted him number one stand up of all time over Cosby Pryor carlin and Seinfeld
