(Jewish Group) Dave Chappelle Echoes Kanye's Antisemitism in SNL Monologue [View all]

On the first Saturday Night Live episode after each of the past two presidential elections, Dave Chappelle served as host and used the opportunity to share his thoughts about the state of American politics. The comedian returned for a third time this week after the midterms, but this time something was different.

“It’s a big deal, he had broken the show business rules,” Chappelle said. “You know, the rules of perception. If they're Black, then it’s a gang. If they’re Italian, it’s a mob. If they’re Jewish, it’s a coincidence and you should never speak about it.”

After noting that “Kanye got in so much trouble that Kyrie [Irving] got in trouble,” Chappelle said, “This is where I draw the line. I know the Jewish people have been through terrible things all over the world, but you can’t blame that on Black Americans.” That line was met with silence save for a single shout from the audience. “Thanks, the one person that said ‘woo.’”

“I’ve been to Hollywood and—no one get mad at me—I’m just telling you what I saw,” he added, pausing for effect. “It’s a lot of Jews. Like a lot. But that doesn’t mean anything! You know what I mean? Because there are a lot of black people in Ferguson, Missouri, it doesn’t mean we run the place.” He said the “delusion that Jews run show business” is “not a crazy thing to think,” but “it’s a crazy thing to say out loud.”

And, unsurprisingly, just like his transphobic and homophobic bullshit, he has his "defenders" on the left...again! Funny thing is there are some who STILL don't believe that anti-Semitism is a real form of bigotry and not only the right babble on with their hate of the Jews...just make it "funny" or claim you are "punching up" and all if forgiven.

I found his stuff so funny, especially when he came on the scene back in the day, now, he is nothing more than a pathetic bigot.
