Dave Chappelle addressed the death of George Floyd and the ongoing nationwide protests against police brutality in his new special '8:46'

Dave Chappelle addressed the death of George Floyd and the ongoing nationwide protests against police brutality in his new specialAt the top of the special, named for the length of time Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin had his knee on the neck of Floyd, Chappelle began by praising the people out in the streets protesting against police brutality and systemic racism.

The deliberately raw and powerful special was filmed in Beavercreek, Ohio in front of an audience wearing masks on June 6. Chappelle noted thatwill be among the first comedy specials to come out after the Covid-19 lockdowns were eased which meant that "like it or not, it's going to be history."

DaveChappelle Horrible

DaveChappelle Let’s hope he takes another 12 year hiatus.

Overstand Dave ✊🏽

Like in a 1994 head-on collision w/ a garbage truck, Indie PA filmmaker Lance Weiler said that he went out the windshield, the Calvert Social Investment Fund was the first mutual fund to oppose Apartheid, and then one of the first groups to reinvest in free South Africa in 1994.

✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼

getting back in the good graces of Liberal white folk👍.. Social Justice Speech. no more Alphabet community attacks

Why? Was he feeling guilty for not doing anything, and it took don to say something because he was getting upset.. I was watching that episode, he was calling out in pain, questioning where is everyone? Still kapernick hasn’t said anything, still quite, you’d think he’d B the 1st

Kinda like how Don & his propagandist network stay totally silent about black on white murders, black on black murders & cop killings.

Chappell is correct. Celebrities are generally useless and hypocrites when current events matter. Natalie Portman posts 'Defund the Police' on Instagram, yet last year she called the police twice when a stalker was at her front door. Celebrities are in no position to preach.

We writing from Turkey. We made a silent movie about covid 19.We wonder, 'If Charlie Chaplin was alive, how would he describe this social event?', we looked for the answer this questions. We will be very happy if you watch.

It wasn’t an attempt it was citing of facts. Did that mean he needed to die at the hands of maniac killer? No. But the pregnant women whose home he broke into isn’t going to have him on a pedestal anytime soon I would imagine.

No “attempting” needed. We all know he was a known criminal. It’s a shame the pregnant women he held up at gun point wasn’t carrying her own gun !

Chapelle’s next special should focus on the weekly shootings in Chicago. Of course there are isolated incidents of police brutality & everyone agrees it needs to end. But his special was boring, unfunny, and not very well researched. And i generally LIKE Chappelle.

They are two shockingly sick women.

DaveChappelle Didn't Chappelle have a mental breakdown, quit his show and went to Africa years ago?

If George was not a perfect person it’s okay but he still did not deserved to be treated that way.

Good thing he painted the police killers as justified vigilantes.

Saw Chappelle last night and I know he slipped in a few things to be funny, but most of that he said was deep, and infuriating. RealCandaceO FUCK YOU!!!

And Don Lemon!

Excoriates candace and Angie, hate spewing megaphones

Discussing how left-wing media attempted to paint George Floyd as a role-model hero is also wrong

Hey Dave make sure you mention that pregnant ladies name your marter beat the shit out of while holding a gun to her and threatening to kill her unborn baby while his bro’s robbed her house I’m thinking of putting her image on a shirt the one with her eye swollen and bloody

oh please, stop whining

Boring rant about current events we hear everybody else ranting about. Not a comedy show at all to escape the bullshit going on today. 👎🏼👎🏼

Now you like him again.? You guys are ridiculous.

Why is he allowed to rant racial and ethnic humor just as everyone is being cancelled ? Hypocrisy much ?

Now you showing his real ass

brianstelter Who else did he talk shit about Brian? Couldn’t have mentioned donlemon could you?

who cares what he has to say? he left the business leaving all the people who worked for him unemployed. He is the definition of selfish

Did he call a couple of Caucasians that nasty n word?

It is the best thing I’ve seen in a while

BabellG Thank u ahora la voy a ver

Leftists were all trying to cancel him last special he did. Now they champion him bc he pushed their rhetoric. Fucking hypocrisy

What they trow at us you gotta trow back hate Love it’s our choice I choose love ✌🏾

GeorgeFloyd

cackling, nodding in agreement, crying, yell laughing, talking to the screen.... all of those things happened while watching.

excoriates! GREAT WORD

I thought you guys cancelled him because of “homo/trans/lagutoro-phobia11” Clowns

Now you talk! After all happened

Where can I get the Chappelle mask?

bklynfuels The black community isn't looking for equality, they're looking to get even. They accuse whites of being 'afraid', to speak about race relations, while teaching their children to hate white people... George Floyd's daughter, case in point.

Incredible* special. Dave Chapelle is a fucking genius.

Oh well thank God I can proceed with my day knowing what Dave Chappell thinks.

What the fuck is Excoriate

This seemed so relevant for these times. 'Freedom is not something to be secured in any one moment of time. We must struggle to preserve it everyday. And freedom is never more than one generation away from Extinction'.

When I hear DaveChappelle dave: salute to you Sir!

Fk Candace Owens and Laura Ingram. Both of you will go down as clowns in the history books

Did you write a headline about how he excoriated Jussie Smollett in his last special?

Lmao! People crack me up. The same people talking about how moving this is are the same people who hated him for his transgender commentary. Don't get me wrong I love the special, but holy shit people have turned this world into a high school drama.

So you endorse misogyny?

If you don't understand what 'excocriates' means and you like those two conservative pundits, those two things are related.

Garbage

XOXO 🙏🏾

Do we really need this?

TassajaraRd Can't wait for either of those 2 well-educated ladies to attempt to handle Chappelle. This gonna be good. *popcorn*

weijia Searching netflix now...why can't I find it?

This doesn’t look like DC or sound like him.

Dave Chappelle is a genius 👍

KevinMKruse And I was in tears within 5 minutes. Powerful shit.

weijia IngrahamAngle I'm just here to relay the message. Dave thinks you're a c*nt and I agree wholeheartedly.

One of my favorite comedians

weijia Love Dave don't care about what he said about Don Lemon, one of the best voices during this tragedy. famous people voices do add weight to people struggle, you can see it all over the world. I'm sure if Dave sits with Don, he will explain that to him. c'mon Dave, you know better.

weijia I would love to see this

weijia Dave Chappelle should be the official PSA spokesperson until November.

weijia Chappelle is a genius!

KevinMKruse its fucking good too

Details... I want to see this like dave!

KevinMKruse Well, Dave got his marching orders. Otherwise, no one can survive in Hollywood. Too much at stake for the future of the Democrat Party in this election.

weijia Shout to YSO.

brianstelter Powerful. 😢💔

brianstelter Davs is ok to like again after he roasted the snowflake cancel culture people?

brianstelter Does he still mock gay and trans people for a laugh?

brianstelter So we’re back to loving Dave Chappelle, eh?

Other opinions canceled. What a surprise.

Consuming this intravenously!!!! 🐐

Candace Owens and Laura Ingrham? Its amazing who gets the press. Yeah sure go ahead...go after those 2...LOL.

Probably doesn’t address his intense transphobia though

love chappelle, cant wait to see it

I not protesting. I good here.
