“Ladies and gentlemen, make some noise for the richest man in the world.” ~ Dave Chappelle.

I really hate our love/hate relationship with Dave Chappelle. We, as Black people, want to root for our champions. We want to infinitely see the good in folk even when there’s not much to be seen.

I’ve torn through Dave Chappelle in a critical way I have never seen anyone else do in writing a while back ago. Many people saw the writing on the wall with him, and I was one of them. Chappelle’s punch-clock transphobia wasn’t just transphobia by itself but also a sign that he’s not our Dave anymore. He’s not a man of empathy, and Black people need to wake up because he’s been saying things in plain sight, indicating he isn’t with us anymore.
