I love Dave Chappelle, dont get me wrong but I felt that this piece was quite exclusionary of black women. I know he has had a past being in conflict with black women and hes one of those who have made countless jokes with black women being the punchline but it seems like he just doesnt care except when it's a black man like George Floyd because he can never relate to black women. He listed countless victims of police brutality and not one of them was a black woman. Breonna Taylor, Sandra Bland to name a few. But it's just a food for thought...

Normally I’m not a big fan of Dave Chappelle, but I really appreciate the importance of releasing this right now

Chappelle is arguably the most respected entertainer album ever today, so to see him put entertainment aside to deliver a commentary of this importance is even more respectful.
As a straight white male I have found it hard to process the events surrounding George Floyd, and even harder to comment on them. I am someone who likes to speak from experience, which I am unable to do with this matter considering the privilege that I am given from my surroundings.
I know how easier things are for me because I am a white person with a penis. I was aware of this privilege before Floyd was killed, but since his death I have learned from others that with my privilege comes a responsibility. I am taught that whilst I should be conscious of my advantage as a straight white male, I shouldn’t ever allow the knowledge of my privilege to turn into a gratification.
Life isn’t fair from birth: babies are born in countries that suffer from poverty and famine; babies are born under governments who are biased towards a different percentage of the population. From birth, life is played with weighted dice, counted cards and forced hands. Whilst I didn’t deal the cards, I was regrettably complicit with the hand that I was dealt.
Because of my own advantages, I am unable to relate to the hardships forced upon many of the people around me. However, just because I can’t relate to those suffering through experience, it doesn’t mean that I shouldn’t try to understand and empathise with the causes that they are fighting for.
Chappelle has shown me this. He has a talent for making points that are so obvious that they go unthought of until he says them. In “8:46” this is more present that it has ever been in his specials. He speaks with such passionate anger that even the most closed-minded viewer is able to understand him.
I can’t think of much more to say right now about this, but I know that I needed to see it.
