“Lesbian at a penal colony” just sounds wrong.

If it really is "for the best" when people break up, I think we should say that for positive occasions, too. The next time someone tells me they're engaged, I'll sigh and reply, "Well, it's for the best."

For everyone complaining about the USA-England tie, remember this: The last time the US and UK went to the Middle East to draw, they artificially created countries. So, this is a pretty positive outcome. 🤷🏿 🇺🇸 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 ⚽️ #WorldCup2022

9/ Dave is already walking a tightrope. If you can't be impressed unless the rope is also made out of hot coals, then maybe you need to realign your expectations. Whoever you are. [End.] #SNL #davechappelle #davechappellesnl

1/ I'm getting very sick & tired of all of the anti-Dave Chappelle takes, mostly originating in the MSM, especially given that the vast majority of the YouTube comments on his Saturday Night Live appearance this past weekend (youtube.com/watch?v=_m-gO0…) are filled with praise.

8/ "Yes, but he should've talked at length about Black antisemitism" is the equivalent of saying, "Well, Dark Side Of The Moon does a fine job of describing our Universe, but I really think Pink Floyd should've expanded their scope to explore the Metaverse. In 1973."

7/ So, to the extent that the Black community might be transphobic or antisemitic (as, sadly, most communities are), it is far too high a bar to expect him to address all of it in a 15-min comedy set.

6/ DC plays an incredibly important role in our world: to represent the Black American experience. That is his worldview. He leads & ends with race, and that is his right because, no matter the criticism, one cannot credibly accuse him of not telling the truth as he sees it.

5/ It's OUR job to endeavor to implement shifts in our mindset. Comics are often targeted for "trading in stereotypes." Well, stereotypes are all true, and that is not the fault of the person onstage.

4/ We should not expect a comedian, no matter how great, to effect change in any community. A comic's job is to reflect, to deliver a message, to convey, to ILLUMINATE.
