Thanks to a link from John Mac, I watched Dave Chappelle's newest brief standup, the decidedly serious "8:46," a reference to the eight minutes and forty-six seconds during which Officer Derek Chauvin's knee rested on the neck of George Floyd.
Dave Chappelle was also wrong about Philando Castile: the lady in the car was Castile's girlfriend, not his wife (and the child in the car wasn't Castile's, either). Chappelle can be funny and insightful, but his latest routine seems rather lacking in logic and rather over-the-top with emotion—not to mention shot through with a disappointingly twisted reading of history and current events.
