[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love Jon Stewart.

I love Dave Chappelle.

I love comedy the way some women love wine or shoes.

I’ve posted on other threads for years that smart comedians are our last defense to save America. They have a unique platform to openly discuss complex and sensitive topics in a way that isn’t off-putting. Perhaps more importantly, they are brave enough to speak out against censorship and cancel culture. Jon Stewart did that in the linked segment. Chappelle did that on SNL.

To be clear:

JS explained “the Jews” piece. It was trending on Twitter and linked to sports because of Kyrie’s comments. But JS essentially said the same thing as DC: nothing good comes after “the Jews.” JS used jokes about ice cream to make the point; Chappelle literally made the same point.

JS was not criticizing DC or his monologue. Not at all. In fact, he literally said we need to directly discuss the fact that there are a lot of Jewish people in Hollywood and banking.

All this to say, the two guys are on the same page. Any conversation between the two would not be a point/counterpoint. Rather, their discussion would focus on the need to shift away from woke cancel culture to allow people to speak openly and discuss their opinions without being attacked. It shouldn’t be that hard, yet it’s impossible…unless you are a famous comic brave enough/beloved enough to go there. [/quote]

So, if they said the same thing what is the need to discuss?

DC doesn’t have an issue with Jewish people. He was commenting on two people who had come under fire for their comments online.
Generally, he doesn’t speak about Jewish people. His SNL comments were brought on by recent events.
I appreciate DC not pussy footing around an issue and comparing people to ice cream. We’re not children.[/quote]
