My grandfather, as a boy, knew old men who'd been born slaves. It really isn't that far away. That's one degree of separation from me.yeah, if you do the math, you'll see there are probably STILL some direct sons and daughters of slaves alive.
lets say a 15 year old slave in 1865 has a child later in life at 70 years old, it's already 1920... and there are 100 year old and older African-Americans around today. so its entirely possible.
i distinctly remember the oldest person in the world back in 2006 being the daughter of slaves (googled and it was Elizabeth Bolden). it really made me think.. spent all night educating myself then lol.
Agreed. And it's his neighborhood isn't it? To me that shit is personalized way more. It feels like a neighborhood bonfire where Dave happens to be there and just goes off. It humanized it a lot for me.
She's a grifting piece of garbage that doesn't actually care about metoo movement or the issues trans people are facing around the world.
Dave has blindspots and is not right for anything of that stuff, but he's right here.
I rememeber the other place thread when we all watched the Chris Dorner chase live....
The Civil War ended 155 years ago. Two lifetimes. People like to think it happened so long ago when it we're still dealing with racism now.That was cathartic, raw and unfiltered. What we needed to hear.
Fucked up at how his GRANDFATHER was a former slave!!! That was not a long time ago.
If you're on IG the Netflix Is a Joke account has the complete show subbed but cropped for mobile viewing.i wish this was subbed
but all the parts i understand was very on point
She has said she is able to laugh at herself and has power for making it into the special.
So...yeah. I'm very with you here and I'm wondering why, even if what he's saying here is on point, his transphobic bullshit isn't brought up.After him tripling down on transphobia, it is hard for me to ever consider watching anything by him again. His views on us are repugnant and he shouldn't have a platform. Honestly the praise he is getting is really upsetting, like none of that shit ever happened.
this is an odd post coming from someone with a persona 5 avatar considering p studios history with lgbt people in there games.After him tripling down on transphobia, it is hard for me to ever consider watching anything by him again.

We've had multiple threads blasting Chappelle for his comments in his specials. It certainly isn't not "brought up".So...yeah. I'm very with you here and I'm wondering why, even if what he's saying here is on point, his transphobic bullshit isn't brought up.
your post says that dave chapelle should not have a platform. why should chapelle specifically not have a platform when both chapelle and p studio have shitty views on similar topics? i just find the lack of consistency coming from you oddI didn't like that stuff, I even made a youtube video, now deleted, calling out the worst stuff from P5. I found other things about the story resonant even if the series has had a few turds and missed opportunities like with the gay couple that hits on Ryuji or how Naoto's story resolved with them detransitioning. But we're talking about Dave Chappelle here.

To that end, wouldn't this special and what it's addressing resonate? Or does it not for you? I'm not trying to make an accusation or diminish your feelings. I just want to understand better.I didn't like that stuff, I even made a youtube video, now deleted, calling out the worst stuff from P5.

Before this spirals out of control. Terra, I don't think nsilvias is trying to imply anything about your character. Simply put, you made an exception for P5, because it's something you like. You should be able to understand why people make exception to not want to de-platform Chappelle, because his material is something others like, and find resonant.your post says that dave chapelle should not have a platform. why should chapelle specifically not have a platform when both chapelle and p studio have shitty views on similar topics? i just find the lack of consistency coming from you odd

Edit: And Chappelle has opened a dialogue for many black children to understand the horrors around them through comedy. So by the same merit, he is flawed, but his commentary back then, like it is now, is deemed necessary.

Yeah, I had a hard time processing it when I learned my Great Grandmother, who was alive until I was maybe 9 or 10, was the daughter of slaves. It's hard to imagine that anyone you've known personally could have that close of a connection with the time.Great-grandfather. But still, insane it was that close to our time.
Great special. Reminds me of this story that was making the rounds on Twitter last week. It sounds like a lot of this stuff has been on his mind for years.
