Dave Chappelle: [These Are The Times] We Gotta Say Something!

Dave Chappelle hosts a comedy act that took a serious turn.

Dave Chappelle hosts a show at his home in Yellow Springs, Ohio.

The special Dave Chappelle & Friends A Talk with Punchlines: 8:46 was filmed for Netflix.

The comedy show took a dramatic turn when Chappelle literally choked up when he addressed the George Floyd tragedy. The entertainer slammed the junk food media picking and choosing which stories generate coverage along with media personalities Don Lemon, Candace Owens and Laura Ingraham.

"It's hard to figure out what to say about George Floyd, so I'm not going to say it yet," Chappelle opens, flipping through a black notebook, later adding, "I got to tell you, this is like the first concert in North American since all this shit happened, so like it or not, it's history. It's going to be in the books."

During his act, Chappelle addressed the controversial shootings of Philando Castile, Michael Brown, John Crawford III, Alton Sterling and Trayvon Martin.

He address the Christopher Dorner incident. I've talked about that incident in 2012. It was about a former LAPD officer who warned the world that police brutality towards people of color will spark unrest and revenge killings. Chappelle outlined Dorner's complaints against fellow cops.

Dorner was fired from the force. Appealed it and fought to the bitter end. After that, he wrote a manifesto and said that he's going after cops and their families. He carried out that attack and killed eight people before he took off into the woods. The law either killed him or he committed suicide but during that firefight, the cabin he was sheltering burned to the ground.

Dorner had wrote that Dave Chappelle was a genius. He complained about systematic racism despite having the first African American to be elected president and why white people will never understand why it's hard to be Black.

Candace Owens is a crazy fool.

Chappelle ask the question, why are Black men who are military trained massacring cops? He said that if you see what happens to Black men at the hands of law enforcement, you see why they've taken arms.

He also addressed the reasons why he gets fed up with media personalities calling upon him and others to speak out against this when clearly they know what's going on. He called out Don Lemon of CNN.

Lemon's monologue probably aimed at Black celebrities who didn't speak out.

It reminds me of The Daily Mail going after Meghan Markle and Harry for not saying anything regarding the George Floyd tragedy and the unrest in the country. The rag didn't ask how Prince William and Duchess Kate. They only wanted to demonize the former Black royal because of their constant hatred of her and her activism.

Chappelle went after Candace Owens after she decided to mention Floyd's criminal history.

"I seen Candace Owens try to convince white America, 'Don't worry about it. He's a criminal anyway.' I don’t give a fuck what this Nigga did. I don't care what this Nigga did. I don't care if he personally kicked Candace Owens in her stanky pussy. I don't know if it stanks, but I imagine it does. If I ever find out, I'll let you know for sure. I'll tell like Azealia Banks. I'll tell."

"We didn't choose him as a hero. You did. They killed him and that wasn't right. So he's the guy," said Chappelle.

Owens responded to the jokes.

To every Democrat tweeting me the clip of #DaveChappelle insulting me:

I’m not a leftist. I have a sense of humor & I think comedians SHOULD make fun of people.

Dave Chappelle is one of the greatest comedians of all time and I made it into one of his specials.

That’s POWER!

We’ve arrived too suddenly into a culture where people can’t laugh at themselves, or want to restrain comedians.

I will never be a part of that culture. @DaveChappelle —you are legend and I’d love to meet you and challenge you to say any of that to my face! 😂

All love!

He described Owens as a grifter and "the worst" and an "articulate idiot." In discussing Ingraham, he brings up her "shut up and dribble" controversy with LeBron James.

"LeBron James once said something about racism and Laura Ingraham, which I will say publicly anywhere anytime is a cunt told one of Ohio's greatest residents ever to 'Shut up and dribble.'"

Chappelle ripped Ingraham and Owens.

Chappelle continued, "This bitch told my friend to shut up and dribble."

"My friend is the best at something. And this bitch is not the best at anything. Just a regular-ass white bitch with a platform. And I use the word 'bitch' all the time because [it's a black thing]."

Ingraham recently went to defense for Drew Brees after the football star said that he doesn't support players kneeling during the national anthem.

"Every American has the God-given right to speak his mind on any issue," Ingraham said.

"I think in order to heal and shed light on gross injustices, our country needs more dialogue, not less. And we need more respect, less retribution."

Chappelle also mentioned the Eric Garner tragedy. He said that Staten Island is a trashy place. He said that the NYPD didn't do nothing while one of their own killed Garner over a loose cigarette.

He said "Fuck Staten Island, except the Wu-Tang Clan."
