So, Chappelle attempts to justify Chris Dorner. You see, Dorner got angry because he was fired from the LAPD, so he wrote a lengthy manifesto, went on a murder spree killing cops and civilians, and then was killed when he refused to surrender.
In Chappelle’s mind, Dorner was justified in his action because the system was unjust to him, a black man. So, of course, he went out and killed whites. He was angry you see. Perfectly understandable.
Well, I guess Chappelle really put us white racists in our place. Because, clearly Dorner was perfectly stable and didn’t deserve to be fired. He was only fired because of the racist system. How dare anyone suggest he was a bad cop who was filled with rage.
Dave Chappelle is a comedic genius and has made me laugh perhaps more than any other comedian. He's got a brilliant mind and I respect him for that. But let's not forget that he's made his considerable fortunes by embellishing and reinforcing the very same stereotypes that ostensibly hinder the black community's chances for success.
Listening to his routines, one might think he was one of the rare success stories of an underprivileged black kid from the projects who somehow managed to break free before rising to stardom. Actually, his parents were both college professors. His great-grandfather he mentions in the video, born a slave, amazingly became a Bishop and the President of a University. From slave to University President? Why doesn't Chappell draw upon that story for his comedy material? Well... because it's not "funny." It might be inspirational and unifying, but it wouldn't make people laugh. No, the laughs come from bits about blacks losing their rent money while shooting dice or getting doped up on crack before robbing white people. Hysterical.
It's not any different in other areas of entertainment. Rap music and movies also provide the means for certain minorities to get rich by exploiting the plight of "underserved" communities. Why aren't there rap songs about Dr. Ben Carson, a real ghetto kid who easily could have been just another casualty of so-called systemic oppression, but instead went on to become one of the world's foremost neurosurgeons? Or Herman Cain, born into a hardworking but financially poor family, who joined the Navy, obtained degrees in Mathematics and Computer Science, became the CEO of a major corporation and later chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City?
Apparently the secret to selling rap music is to reinforce the stereotypical perception that African Americans are violent thugs. Success is defined by "ruling the ghetto" through murder and fear tactics. Funny how that's the very same perception that BLM, the "I Can't Breathe" protesters and many black politicians and celebrities all claim needs to be changed. Why isn't there a rap song that presents Carson or Cain as a genuine "bad-ass" for having used brains and courage to beat the odds and rise to the top of the "white man's world?" Instead, these guys are vilified and given the "Uncle Tom" treatment.
If true racial equality was ever actually achieved, rappers, Democrats and celebrity activists would lose all their power. There would be nothing left to fight against. Perception is reality, and by reinforcing and reinventing that perception, the tail wags the dog.
Or, Clarence Thomas. Or, Tim Scott. Or, Condolezza Rice.
As Joe Biden tells us, they ain’t black. That explains why whites like them even though all whites are racist. It certainly isn’t because of the content of their character.
Or the smart and beautiful Candace Owens, who Dave insinuates has poor personal hygiene habits solely due to the fact that she refuses to hold the beliefs "mandated" by her skin's level of melanin.

Dorner is a legend!
Dorner is a legend ? He’s a fucking deranged serial killer.

It sounds like you are saying all whites deserve to die because most of them are racist. Or, is there another reason you say he is a legend ?
