    what about the Asian employees? or are they fine with being compared to a deadly disease that needs to be beat up in the streets

        Chappelle further admits that he “did not get sick at all” from contracting COVID, calling himself “the Magic Johnson of the coronavirus,” but that he was stressed out watching so many videos of blacks beating Asians in the streets during the pandemic – before I cracked up, “I couldn’t help but think that when I saw these brothers beat up these Asians, that’s probably what’s going on inside my body . “

    I've gotten to the point I don't even care why people are walking out, I just hear "walk out" and think "based."

        even when they do, they either get fired, or are still showing the power of labor.

        but it feeds the victim complex of bigoted old dudes for someone to act like the woke SJWs are sooo mean, so they'll laugh their asses off like the pathetic worms they are

        In theory, he could have other good jokes.

        But most of the jokes are kind of just shit.

        Eh.

        He was pretty great. I think his first standup since the show was good, but since then he’s been cranking out stuff that is worse and worse.

        I’m pretty sure the best stuff from his show was other people. He’s honestly best at having catchphrases that are funny.. but wants to be a storyteller, but all his stories are boring.

      On Oct. 20, members of the Netflix employee resource group Trans* and their allies will take a "day of rest"

      I am certain some cis people will walk out in solidarity.
