  1. Dave killed it! There wasnt a hint of hate in the entire monologue. Its free on youtube. Watch it yourself.

    1. @William Cortelyou Keep in mind that you have to give your boss what they want and not the other way around. I don’t know why you acting like it goes any other way but only in rap. We do know better than that. Nwa are not evil but the unseen hands that pay them and pushed it out are. Why would any race push hatred, death and destruction to another race?????????? I know you really don’t think that it’s about the money. It’s real not hard for us to see. Where did they see the potential in hatred, death and destruction and why was it the white kids in the suburbs the ones buying that trash making them stars? Black people never brought this trash and Black people never made not one of them stars. They forced it on the Black communities thru their so called black radio stations that these same jewish people own. Racist we are not because we never ever tried to hold a race of people down. It takes a race to be racist don’t let them school/fool you. One race stopping another race is the true meaning of racist and that’s why the root word is RACE. If speaking facts is biased then yes I’m biased. Do some research like we do and then speak on it. We have scholars and great thinkers who care to research and find the truth no matter where it may lead. Don’t be mentally lazy. Research with an open mind. A closed mind is a biased mind. I already know what they say about us so I had to learn what we are saying about us. you sound more like what they are saying about us. Now don’t be biased … go research what I’m saying about them

    2. @nbb215 Our holocaust is still going on today with all of this hatred,death and destruction being pushed to the Black communities by their so called record companies. Our people are dying like never before.They forced this destruction to the Black communities thru their so called black radio station that these same jewish people own. Why would another race push hatred, death and destruction to another races community and it’s ok? What about our wounds from the pain of losing our children and family members because of the atmosphere that they created from pushing this trash. We know that it’s not normal for anything or any people to kill off their own race. It’s called programming and people will act out their favorite programs. Go check out the programs that they feed my people. Check out what these jewish people got going on on their so called black radio stations own by them not us. Go feel our pain.

    1. @Dean F. Viewing the person delivering the monologue isn’t required to inform oneself of the content of the monologue DUH

    2. @January informing yourself of the content, doesn’t mean you understand the nuance and context in which it was delivered.

    1. Its truly SAD how this dummy believes hes sounding so intelligent while reading iff the SCRIPT his HANDLERS WROTE FOR HIM. Yet STILL MANAGES to sound DUMB.. WOW. By the way, CHARLES BARKLEY JUST SAID SOMETHING VERY HURTFUL TO AN ENTIRE RACE.. HE LABELED BLACK PEOPLE AS THE LEADING HATERS OF HOMOSEXUALS. Damn, he just placed a bullseye on an entire race and he wasn’t just speaking he was READING SO IT WSS WELL THOUGHT OUT. Eff him and #orangutanOneil

  2. Charles: Like my Father told me many, many decades ago! A Wise Man Thinks what He Says ! But A Fool Says What He Thinks ! I’ve passed this saying on to My children, and Now to anyone who has RESPECT for our Fellow Men or Women! I hope You Feel Me ! RESPECT!!!

  3. How are you a Dave fan if you don’t like jokes about race? You can’t be a Dave Chappelle fan. Coming from a real Dave Chappelle fan who enjoys all his jokes.

    1. @Texas Refugee racists like… pdf file democrats who claim that all white people are born racists?
      Btw can you please provide evidence for your claim that all white people are racists?

  4. “You should be called out if you said something stupid. Hey I’ve been called out many times” – No kidding lol

    1. George Carlin always punched up, not down. Always. Carlin was far smarter and kinder than Chapelle.
      Dave Chappelle is a dated memory, and the only people who value him are those who grew up watching him. The moment he decided to take on identity politics and cancel culture, he became irrelevant to me as a comedian. Taking cheap shots at the LGBT community and trans women, as well as perpetuating antisemitic stereotypes about Jews, is neither “courageous” nor amusing.

  5. Omg Henry Street you took the words right out of my mouth. I love Dave Chapelle bcuz of that character. He loves everyone & makes jokes abt us bcuz of it. Hes a comedian = lighten up & laugh isnt that why youre there? If you cant then find something else that floats your boat instead of character assassination. He makes gay women jokes & Im laughing so hard its an emotional release. In this day & age thats priceless.

  6. Charles Barkley has been called stupid his entire career. As the Supreme Coontress says: “It’s not lost on meeeee that my fellow Water Carrier is taking this stance.” Mr Irving made no statement. Mr Chappelle told the truth so succinctly that I’m still floored.

    1. Chapelle is a thoughtful, funny guy who likes to push the envelope. All was well until he went off topic to tell us there’s a lot of Jews in Hollywood. Duh. Unnecessary and it pushed the whole monologue into where it didn’t need to go. Of course it’s true, so what? Lots of things are true that don’t need to be said. What if Dave had said that he was taking a walk one day and saw a group of Jews approaching him so he crossed over to the other side uf the street and continued his walk?

  7. Charles Barkley going on a show of somebody Dave ridiculed in one of his specials (8:46) in order to criticize Dave is in itself a meta comedy gold.

  8. Charles got a thing with the word stupid! I bet money he got called stupid a lot as kid! I hear the trauma when he say it! 😂

  9. Barkley’s rant was all over the place. He said the same thing two or three times,and then he said it again. I didn’t know that Kyrie said anything but he was going on about it. This is just black on black crime by Barkley. He was just pure double speak.

  10. It’s a little more than that the people don’t feel like they can be
    Them because everyone else going to be offended. We teach our kids to be themselves but try to said the right thing for others feel good . That’s not be you . That’s hypocritical to others
