Malcolm X once said, "The first thing the cracker does when he comes in power, he takes all the Negro leaders and invites them for coffee to show that he’s all right, and those Uncle Toms can’t pass up the coffee. They come away from the coffee table telling you and me that this man is all right.” Almost everyday now some black celebrity somewhere says something that makes absolutely no sense. Honestly, this gem gave me a headache. “I feel like Dave (Chapelle) freed the slaves,” Wayans told TMZ on Monday. “The comedians, we were slaves to PC [political correctness] culture and he just, you know, as an artist he’s Van Gogh. Cut his ear off, he’s trying to tell us it’s OK. ”Wayans was asked if he feels more free to be himself in his comedy following the special. He responded that he’s “always been free.” “I just feel like he’s saying, ‘All that I have, I’m not afraid to lose it for the sake of freedom of speech. You can’t edit yourself,” Wayans continued. “Comedians, we’re like… Mercedes makes a great car. But they gotta crash a lot of them before they perfect it.” The comedian said there’s a “bigger conversation” that needs to be had." (Black Enterprise) Uh, okay...wait, what? Seriously, what the hell did Damon Wayans just try to say because I have no idea what the hell this man is talking about. Since when are millionaires slaves? When has that ever happened in history? When have millionaires not been allowed to say things? What the actual fuck is being said here? Rich people, whether black or white, enjoy vast amounts of privileges that people like me do not: they can not pay taxes, they can say whatever the hell they want to thunderous applause and they are free to insult the history of chattel slavery by reducing it to some idiotic "mental slavery" that does not even exist. Black celebrities love to do this. Whenever someone challenges them they claim that they are trying to save black people from "mental slavery" by saving their right to free speech. Okay, so where are the laws limiting speech in comedy clubs? What government has said that you can't tell jokes? What the hell are these people talking about? I find this insulting. It diminishes what real slavery was like. It makes the pain of my ancestors seem like a joke. Do you really think slaves fought for their freedom so that they could tell jokes to white people in night clubs? Most Black people cannot afford to go to these expensive ass shows. So who the hell is Wayans trying to save from slavery? White affluent people who are the only ones who can afford to frequent comedy clubs? "Someone needs to look us in the eye and say, ‘You’re no longer free in this country. You’re not free to say what you want, you say what we want you to say. Otherwise we will cancel you,’” Wayans said. “That’s the discussion we should have.” (Black Enterprise) Again, what the hell is this fool talking about? The Netflix special by Dave Chapelle is still up. No one took it down. Chapelle was never censored. Want proof? Here you go. "A few days after the release of “The Closer,” Chappelle performed at the Hollywood Bowl, where he commented on the pushback following a standing ovation, according to the Hollywood Reporter. “If this is what being canceled is like, I love it,” Chappelle said." (Black Enterprise). Seriously, what the hell is going on here? You get to complain about being canceled while not being canceled now? This is beyond ridiculous. I suggest you take Malcolm X's advice and stop worshiping these uncle toms for your own sake.
