The news media have not yet discovered that Dave Chappelle doesn’t play by their invented rules.
This season is full of forgivenness and open-heartedness, so it’s comforting to be able to count on the media to refrain from participating in this spirit. The ongoing saga of Dave Chappelle’s offenses to the senses of the press endures — only insomuch as the press refuses to concede that their position on his supposed aggressions has no traction. The comedian, who has been under fire for two months, has managed to remain unscathed.
We covered the uproar at Netflix’s initial reaction to his latest special last week. This was widely reported in the media. ended up fizzling There is more to it than a single bottle rocket ignited by a tropical hurricane. Major players left the company, and the representatives of those involved declined to comment on the outcome of the protests. It was not the end goal to take down a black entertainer. Politico now weighs in, trying to rip the comedian. The results are quite laughable.
Chappelle is making a new appearance at Chappelle’s high school. Since donating funds and his time to student bodies, this was his latest effort. Although there was some resistance, the truth is quite shocking. The comedian responded in his trademark style, which is amusing as well as exposing the mob.
Political outlet that when Chappelle made a recent speaking appearance at the Duke Ellington School of the Arts he received, “A not so welcome homecoming.” The slanted coverage of this visit is worthy of a cheesy sit-com laugh track. Chappelle made an appearance to discuss a campus theater that would be named for him. The comedian addressed students after the controversy over Netflix’s Netflix program.
He spoke in concert hall to nearly 600 people, while Politico concentrated on the negative. “Chappelle took the stage to a raucous reception of cheers and some boos — and the hourlong session went south from there, we’re told.” You can already see the cracks in this report. The use of “we’re told” delivers sketchy verification, and then we see the usual practice in the press of focusing on the minority of cranks rather than the overwhelming numbers in support.
Although hundreds of thousands could attend a march for pro-life, it is only the handful of demonstrators who get camera time and their message airwaves. The same goes for Chappelle. He receives thunderous support from many of the hundreds that turned out but it’s only the handful of cowardly protestors who get all the attention. Politico tries to make this an alarming event for Chappelle.
IfYou can find it hereHe declared himself GOAT, hoping to diffuse the anger over his comments about transgender persons. However, he would be in for a shock of his own.
This is a jarring episode that Chappelle wants to create. First, the special has caused a nationwide commotion with national press officials clearly siding against him. He hasn’t backed down. Although he had considered meeting with activists, his stance was unapologetic.
Second, Chappelle is a long-standing touring comedian. Through training and experience, he has learned how to handle difficult audience members. He has seen everything, from impolite drunks to insensitive racial remarks. I am certain the comedian was not shaken by the petulant teenagers who hurled inexperienced attitude at him when they took to the microphone — something he invited to take place, it needs to be clarified.
After his visit, Chappelle announced something that was clear to the ears of social scolds. Concerning the theater’s name, Chappelle challenged all those opposed on grounds of offence to pay the price. In an Instagram post, He stated that he agrees with the theater’s name. But he also declared that he will not accept the funding for the school from anyone who complains.
“If you object to my receiving this honor, I urge you to donate to the school noting your objection. If you are in favor of the theater being named ‘Chappelle’, I urge you to donate to the school, noting your approval. The person who donates the most money wins. If by April, those against the ‘Chappelle’ theater exceed the donations of those who are neutral or in favor of the theater being named ‘Chappelle’, I will gladly steal aside. Otherwise, I’ll be there to witness the ceremony. And if you don’t care enough to donate… please shut the f–k up, forever.”
It is the perfect answer, as it places on the shoulders of those who may be prone for expressing outrage without any actual activity. It has been proven that outraged people are often loud and vocal in their complaints, but they can also be more timid than timid when it comes to their actions. Their bark will always make them wetter than their bodies once challenged.
Chappelle sees this as a win/win deal. If the hectoring hamsters do as expected, they will be rather outshone in the donations, and if they somehow manage to rally enough financial support, it will be a serious windfall for Dave’s beloved alma mater and he will smile in supposed defeat. He manages, once again with minimal effort to ignore the mewling media.
