Netflix has released comedian Dave Chappelle's latest stand-up special. Throughout his nearly hour-long set, Chappelle demonstrates that he may be the most fearless celebrity in America. At one point or another, every viewer will be offended. At most points, though, viewers will not only laugh but marvel at the comedian's ability to skewer what he calls the "cancel culture" while making a mockery of political correctness. With his latest special, Chappelle proves that he is the PC culture's worst nightmare.

I watched this last night!

Oh boy - he flew over LGBT land and dropped an atomic bomb on it.

Of course, the usual language and all but you have to appreciate his bravery in our current PC culture. Many instances of “you CAN’T say that!”. If you don’t mind the language this is a must see.

Morgan Freeman did the intro on the show’s trailer. I thought Freeman was on the “other” side. Or, maybe Freeman just hates Trump.

Chappelle despises Trump (he’s said so) and he voted for Hillary Clinton (he’s said so). But the stifling political correctness of 2019 is getting to be too much even for liberal comedians like Chappelle and Jerry Seinfeld.

It always amuses me to see leftists complain about political correctness after ushering it in by electing leftists who championed it.

I didnt know that he was Muslim.

Puts the show in a new light, and how he gets away with it in an equally new light.

He is a Islamic. Of course he hates Trump.

It was vulgar, and he is no friend of conservatives. He is just skewering the PC crowd, which he as a Muslim would not like anyhow.

Maniscalco’s standups are pretty good.

+++++++++++

He is great and I am waiting for this next show.

He is the most physical comedian ever, who doesnt do slapstick. He just moves his body so well it helps him tell the story.

Agreed. Bill Burr is another “I don’t care if your offended guy” as well.

Thanks for the warning. Cancelling Netflix will be similar to shooting my TV. I won’t be able to understand conversations when people talk about ads and shows but I have found it doesn’t matter. They can roll their eyes as much as they want but I’m not inundated with SJW/PC identity politics, not 20 minutes per hours ads and...well, Netflix quality has gotten progressively worse in a short amount of time.

Best cure for racism is humor.

We need to quit walking on eggshells and being politically correct. That only reinforces racism. And sexism too for that matter.
