“And that, Kanye, is how you buy yourself some time,” Chappelle joked.
He went on to say that Ye had broken “the show business rules” which are “the rules of perception.” “If they’re Black, then it’s a gang. If they’re Italian, it’s a mob,” Chappelle said. “But if they’re Jewish, it’s a coincidence and you should never speak about it.”
Chappelle went on to talk about the abundance of Jewish people in Hollywood. “But that doesn’t mean anything,” he said. “There’s a lot of Black people in Ferguson, Missouri. Doesn’t mean they run the place.” Chappelle said he could see “if you had some kind of issue, you might go out to Hollywood and start connecting some kind of lines and you could maybe adopt the illusion that Jews run show business.”
“It’s not a crazy thing to think,” he said. “But it’s a crazy thing to say out loud.”
And he has a point.
Cool. Are we hiding under your bed, too?
What is the point? We all know there are some Jewish people in Hollywood. So what? There are lots of non-Jewish people too such as Blake Lively and her Canadian husband Ryan and that poor director whose life Blake Lively is trying to destroy.
Non-responsive
Does Chappelle have any point?
Chappelle is in many ways a modern Don Rickles. He makes fun of everybody. These are jokes, not policy statements.
We certainly don’t want to get to the point where all humor must first go through some sort of filter. That would leave no jokes left.
You are saying he was not making any kind of serious point using humor as a way to make it. Nooo, you’re kidding right?!
Perfect response to a re-tread loon.
What was your screen name before you were banned and started a new one?
Yeah, a half dozen or so.
If Jews run Hollywood, how come they are boycotting Israel? How come some actors took potshots at Israel during the Emmy’s.
Chappelle just likes to show how ridiculous tribalism is.
One of my Jewish friends from high school is a completely leftist loon.
I love Chappelle’s humor. My fav is the one where he a blind black man filing for divorce. Brutal!!
They tried to cancel him but it didnt work. lol
Go back and listen to some of Don Rickles’ routines. He makes fun of literally every ethnic group he can think of. Blacks, Italians, Jews. But here’s the thing. Rickles never called for violence.
Chappelle is the same way. Does Chappelle’s comedy contain hidden messages? Maybe. But I will not condemn him on a “maybe”.
My advice would be to simply shun any performer whom you find offensive. I myself do not follow Chappelle. It’s because of his unnecessary vulgarity.
because leftist Jews do not support Israel
I love Chappelle’s humor. My fav is the one where he a blind black man filing for divorce. Brutal!!
They tried to cancel him but it didnt work. lol
And you’re posting a 3 year old story about a single TV appearance that had no impact on anything because... ??
True, but one they are they leftists, they are leftists, and they work to put that in charge, they aren’t “working for a Jewish conspiracy” by definition.
Got it.
Where are you getting that?
