Publicly traded. Decent chance he has some in his portfolio. I just looked it up because I didn't know. I've never done one, I just take my parents' word for what we are.
My entire life my mom and her mom said that my great grandmother was 100% Cherokee. My sister and I both did 23andme, and there’s not a drop.

I think Cherokee in particular was a common ancestry people claimed back in the day because Cherokee Nation only requires or required that you have one ancestor on the Dawes Rolls to be considered Cherokee so it was pretty believable for just about anyone to be part Cherokee.Is your family name "Warren"?
Agree, but he's now at the point where he seems to enjoy the poking more that the joking.
I wonder how much of the "cancel" "outrage" is actually created on purpose or a chosen lone Twitter account just to feed the masses.
By what standard? He’s current and humorous in his dissection of social issues in a timely manner?Correct. He's not quite at the Elon and Ye benchmark, but he's making his case. Pretty much just wants to offend rather than be funny
“Ironically, Adidas was founded by Nazis and they were offended” is pretty damn funny.Correct. He's not quite at the Elon and Ye benchmark, but he's making his case. Pretty much just wants to offend rather than be funny

I disagree with the take he’s sold out to just seek to offend.
“Ironically, Adidas was founded by Nazis and they were offended” is pretty damn funny.
He’s always current, and not scared to push the boundaries or be scared to joke about it. But we can disagree- comedy is subjectiveBy the standard of the present time in which we live? It's #ownthe<insertname> and nothing else at a certain point, Chappelle just chose trans and the Jews
He's current on the topics. But his punchlines are from the 90s.He’s always current, and not scared to push the boundaries or be scared to joke about it. But we can disagree- comedy is subjective

I think you're hearing a little bit you want to hear from the monologue that isn't there.I thought Chapelle's monologue was genius and reading through this thread not surprised it flew way over a lot of people's heads. The subject matter of Kanye and his anti-semitic rants were just the vehicle Dave used to talk about the evils of cancel culture and how freedom of speech is being stamped out. Sure, you can be free to speak something, even something stupid, but the consequences are so high, BILLIONS of dollars in Kanye's case, that it is effectively silencing people the same as throwing them in prison would.
Lol at genius. It's standup, & it was good. Settle down there, slick.I thought Chapelle's monologue was genius and reading through this thread not surprised it flew way over a lot of people's heads.

He's playing the role of the court jester, that's what good social commentary comedians do. They speak the truth about things while making you laugh about it but there is a message in there.I think you're hearing a little bit you want to hear from the monologue that isn't there.
I don't get what he was going for with that.A group of successful black guys is a gang. A group of Italians is a mafia. A group of Jews is a coincidence.
Oh, I'm definitely not sympathetic to Kanye.I don't know what kind of "free speech" one thinks could exist where you think you have a right to ponder the Jewish Question without getting nasty feedback from other people with free speech. Free speech isn't freedom from criticism. Kanye had a trillion chances, I can't believe anyone is sympathetic to him
1%. Leaving 99%. Meaning could be Allah, or Buddha, or Athena, or Shammgod…I guess that explains your god given artistic talent. Did you sent a pair of soiled underwear to 23/me or what?
I don't get what he was going for with that.
So it leaves open the interpretation that maybe they're up to no good?
He was saying how it is taboo in Hollywood to imply there is any kind of organized Jewish group making decisions in the industry. And that it is acceptable to accuse other ethnicities of doing so but not Jewish people.I don't get what he was going for with that.

The Shammgod is my favorite crossover. Even better than the Tim Hardaway crossover.1%. Leaving 99%. Meaning could be Allah, or Buddha, or Athena, or Shammgod…
It's capitalism, a company can decide what they would like to do with their employees. That has always been the case in this country. Ask Jimmy the Greek. Your comparison of capitalism to countries that do not allow free speech is totally off. Losing a contract vs being thrown in jail for saying something are apples and oranges. Kayne still has a shitload of money. No need to have pity for that guy. He knows he is playing with fire.Sure, you can be free to speak something, even something stupid, but the consequences are so high, BILLIONS of dollars in Kanye's case, that it is effectively silencing people the same as throwing them in prison would.
You're kind of making his (and my) point. More often than not, Chappelle is smarter than his audience.I think you're hearing a little bit you want to hear from the monologue that isn't there.
That, and that's it's ok in our society to imply negative connotations about other minority groups, but you dare not do so with the Jewish people. They enjoy a protected status, which other groups do not.He was saying how it is taboo in Hollywood to imply there is any kind of organized Jewish group making decisions in the industry. And that it is acceptable to accuse other ethnicities of doing so but not Jewish people.

The arbitrary nature of stereotypes that are considered okay to make versus those that aren’t.
Could be. Maybe I'm forgetting some context on this... but... what a mess of a statement that was if that's what he was going for.
His comparisons were literal organized crime families. Are successful groups of black or italian are referred to, or thought of, in any serious sense, gang members or mafia?
There is no appreciable faction of Americans that believe groups of blacks or italian are successful because of their organized crime.
Not the way people believe there are groups of Jews that conspire to control some domain of industry.
Such a stretch I didn't even see it.
You too??? That’s where I know you from! La chaim!I'm very offended by this after seeing my 1% Ashkenazi jew on my 23andme.
It has become taboo because this sentiment has followed around jews for centuries to quite deleterious effect. Not so with the other groups cited. I didn't even get the comparison.He was saying how it is taboo in Hollywood to imply there is any kind of organized Jewish group making decisions in the industry. And that it is acceptable to accuse other ethnicities of doing so but not Jewish people.
