Proves that you people aren't former fans who are mad about his recent comments and "tarnished legacy" or whatever. You never, ever followed, listened to or watched him. Ever. Dave has A.L.W.A.Y.S. confiscated phones since camera phones became a thing.

okay... that's still weird though? Especially if the focus of this event was for him to talk to high school students about his controversial opinions, and devolved to him just bullying high school kids.

Your tone and attitude. Just because students that age are mean doesnt give teachers or speakers at an assembly an excuse to act the same way.
How much you wanna bet you're only saying this because it's against Dave Chappelle? None of yall would come to defend fucking high school kids if it was anyone else.

and thats why Im asking for you to clarify

even with all this, he hasnt poisoned his legacy to some, so whos he poisoning his legacy to?
What I'm saying is that stuff like this and the trans jokes will basically make him unwatchable to future audiences. It's like gay jokes in the 90's, people were okay with it back then but those jokes are indefensible today. That is what Chapelle is doing to himself

Lol @ people expecting Chappelle to apologize. The biggest takeaway from this should be that his critics sound exactly like 16 year olds.

I will say that I agree with the parents that don't think it appropriate or professional for a guest speaker to come in and use the N word during their presentation, whoever that guest speaker may be. A high school is a completely different venue and audience than a comedy club.

But then I suppose Dave Chappelle doesn't have much material to work with to get laughs if he can't go around freely using the N word.

While I agree in principle, the simple fact is that if they are familiar with his work in any capacity whatsoever then they've heard him use that word

Ive been on other shit?

Youre defending bullshit kids will be kids while crying like Dave Chappelle said trans people arent people because he told kids Im better than you.

Quit your fucking crocodile tear bullshit. Kids were assholes, Dave clapped back like any comedian would, and now people are butthurt because of who said it.

Your favorite woke comedian could have said the same thing and you guys wouldnt be bitching.

Im not the one on some shit, you fucks with your paper tissue feelings are the ones on some shit.
You can't call out other people for having paper tissue feelings while making a post like this. You sound salty as shit lol

Dave made some dumb comments in poor taste, is receiving deserved flak for it, and then did...well, whatever the hell he was trying to do here, that ended up with a grown man desperately trying to one up some kids that got under his skin. You need to learn how to accept when someone you like fucks up

Again, a few kids were "assholes" (even though the entire point of the assembly was to open a dialogue with people who felt hurt by his comedy) and he responded not how a comedian would (because he didn't say anything funny), but how someone who got too deep into his feelings would. To the entire assembly, not just the "assholes" (who, again, he invited to express their opinions).

Sure they're kids, but you don't just go out calling people you disagree with out their names. That lesson should be learned early.

Yeah the other articles said the kids were antagonistic and confrontational. Im guessing somebody probably pushed his buttons.

He's the one that came to their school specifically to have an open dialogue about the recent controversy

Seems obvious to me what the outcome would be if you ask a generation that's more accepting of trans people than any before them their thoughts on Chappelle's comments about trans people

If you can't handle the truth without getting in your feelings then don't ask

He didnt say anything bad about trans people in the special though. He even told a story about how he became friends with a trans person and was really affected by his relationship with them. I dont get how theres any controversy over the special at all. I agree that him arguing with these kids is cringey though

he has a claim to that title

Personally I think it's a silly title. Yeah yeah the greatest ever in human history is standing right here, right now, identified and labeled. It's a title that pretends that something very subjective is actually objective.

But that's beside the point. This topic is about how he's using "I'm more famous than you" as a trump card to justify all his shitty opinions. And he's definitely doing that. Bragging about being the GOAT and then dismissing other people because they're not household names. Again, not the best look. And it's just one item on a growing laundry list.

A high school presentation in his capacity as a guest speaker is neither the time nor the place.

You need to learn how to accept when someone you like fucks up

And you need to learn to keep your feelings to yourself.

waaaaah, Dave was mean to people who were being intentionally dicks to him. Im just gonna complain about Dave and no one else.

I dont give a fuck if you do or dont like his comedy. I give a fuck about you hypocritical cry babies who want their cake and to eat it too.

Like yall are also crying about him taking phones when he does that for literally every show he does. Yall just want to cry to cry. Im sorry Im taking umbrage to that. Maybe grow some thicker skin.

Hows that?

Children don't get a free pass to be a shithead just because they're children. If someone calls you a bigot, regardless of age, then it's pretty clear they are just trying to antagonize you. Fair game at that point.

And, if you haven't noticed, teenagers can be incredibly cruel and fucked up. Just like adults, if not worse.

I disagree. Respect is a two way street. I'm not saying you're one in the slightest, but if you invited me to a bar and the first thing I said to you was call you an idiot and constantly attacked you, I would expect you to feel a certain way about it, and I definitely wouldn't expect you to apologize to me after you decked me in the face.

You can counter, "he's an adult and they are kids. He should know better" which I would agree with you on. He could have handled it a bit better.

But I'm not going to give a bunch of misbehaving kids any slack neither. They were disrespectful and Dave handled the situation how he chose to. You can agree with how he handled it or disagree with it. Me? I don't agree with how he handled it, but fuck those badass kids.

Calling someone who has sparked this much outrage over trans comments a bigot, where said person has the platform to explain why he's not a bigot, makes that teen a shithead? Some people's stances in this topic are wild lol

It's not like the kid called him the N word or something. The kid called him something that many people believe that are based on comments/jokes from his last special. It's not like the kid just made some kind of slur up and called him a name. Did Chappelle continue the dialogue about why he's not a bigot?

I'm actually interested to see how the Q&A went. The article only talks about Chappelle being dismissive to the kids. He had a real chance to actually have a dialogue with these kids and explain his stance, and explain why he holds that stance. I legit wonder if he did any of that.

Anyone know if this is going to be a special that's released to the public?

Lol. It's not his job to be a role model. Not everyone has to be one.

Is Dave a bigot?

And you noticed? Yet you think it's absurd someone talks shit back to them. Interesting.
