There’s a new Chris Rock Netflix special called—brilliantly—‘Selective Outrage.’ It reminded me of course of Dave Chappelle’s recent Netflix special, ‘The Closer.’
I think it tells us something important that the two most famous black comedians—seemingly on Earth—are anti-Woke and critical of identity politics. If you haven’t seen the Chappelle special, watch it. He covers race, gender, trans, etc. Chappelle makes fun—deservedly—of white people’s obsession with tokenizing black people and, as always, making it about…white people. The trans absurdism has now trampled over even racial identity politics. How do white people always end up ahead? Sneaky, sneaky, sneaky.
