Review: Dave Chappelle's new special isn't stand-up. It's an anguished history of violence

Sarah Silverman, host of the Emmy-nominated variety sketch series “I Love You, America,” calls “cancel culture” a “mutated” form of McCarthyism.

He went as far back as his great-great-grandfather, AME bishop William David Chappelle, a former slave who led one of the first African American delegations to the White House to protest the lynching of a Black man. He brought the history up to the murders of Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown and Eric Garner. Chappelle also targeted the Fox-branded racism of Laura “Shut Up and Dribble” Ingraham.

He started by giving a shout-out “to all the young people who went out protesting.” “I’m proud of you,” he said. “You are excellent drivers and I’m comfortable in the backseat of the car. So carry on, young ones.”

When he gonna talk about Chicago

I’ve watched it like 5 times. Chappelle is the modern James Baldwin. The power is in the streets, but we don’t all speakwith the same eloquence & perspective these artists do. I am forever greatful for this.

Then let's call it Standing-Up.

Somebody's got to say it!

Thank you DaveChappelle846!

Must watch for all Americans

Are you still a comic, if no one laughs?

It's a real response to all the shit that's going on. Rather than fake mother fucker journalists just paying there mortgages.

America was united on the topic of George Floyd's death. Then the riots, looting and arson began and poof...we're divided again.

I can’t believe you are allowing this post MeToo Hypocrisy and a clear path to a fucked agenda!

Whats that smell oh It's Candace Owens STANKY P

Will definitely check this out. If the LA Times is triggered by it, then you know it has to be good.

If you're looking for jokes in this one, there aren't any. Its Dave's commentary on what is currently happening but without him inserting jokes.

Good for him. It's about time!

TRUMPiCANS 🇺🇸

So the woke left gave him a thumbs up this time. Whew! They cancel people so much it’s hard to keep up. Two 2 days ago Paw Patrol was canceled b/c it depicted police in a good way.

Did he talk about Chicago?

He was raw & brilliant!! It’s all true!

which also shows him saying f*g over and over

Here’s the link to watch:

absolutely loved it

Breathtakingly painful and insightful. Wow.😢

Rascism on the other side. You cannot hide the fact that comics like Chappelle and Chris Rock more so are rascists on the other side- both will take your money then punch you in the face. You cannot preach injustice when you are just as guilty.

Speaking truth! Unity thru Resistance! BlackBrownRed

Just watched it. It was garbage.

The location was NOT BEAVER CREEK CO! It was filmed in rural Greene County, Ohio. About 5 miles north of Yellow Springs and 6 miles south of Springfield.

It’s a sermon.

LovesTheJust The streets don’t need your review! CDManifesto

It is perfect for the state we’re in.

Uuu...watching that right now! Dave Chapelle...Dude’s right..

WATCHING IMMIGRANTS TURN MY CITY INTO CRAP.

And it’s accurate and great

Duh man

He should run in November

STILL A WORK OF ART! kudos Dave Chappelle

Pretty good stuff.
