Dave Chappelle fires back after backlash over his Saudi Arabia show.
Says no one ever had a problem with Saudi money until “a black man” made “money off the plantation.”
“The United States government does business with the Saudis. Netflix does business with Saudis, everyone. Saudis financed tons of movies. I see them financing boxing matches and all these things.”
“And none of these things were an issue until I went there.”
“Now, why is that? As soon as a black man can make money off the plantation, they try to tell you that the money is dirty.”
FULL EXCHANGE BELOW:
REPORTER: “US intelligence did make it clear that they believe that the Saudis killed Jamal Khāshqujī in the embassy in Turkey. And you knew that when you went, right?”
CHAPPELLE: “Oh, absolutely.”
REPORTER: “You had no qualms?”
CHAPPELLE: “I won’t say that. They asked me to go years before that, and I said no for that very reason.”
“Since that time, the United States government does business with the Saudis. Netflix does business with Saudis, everyone. Saudis financed tons of movies. I see them financing boxing matches and all these things.”
“And none of these things were an issue until I went there.”
“Now, why is that? As soon as a black man can make money off the plantation, they try to tell you that the money is dirty. Well, okay, I’ll go home and spend the money with actual slave owners on it. Where is this clean money you’re talking about?”
REPORTER: “But you said you hesitated for years to go. There are years you didn’t go. So what made the difference for you?”
CHAPPELLE: “Time. Time and circumstance. Time. And the wheels of commerce kept turning.”
“If you want to be that pure about money, then stop driving your car, stop eating, don’t use your cell phone. Everything is tethered to something that’s just terrible.”
“And I can make a million excuses or reasons to deprive that crowd of that show, but, man, when I was standing in front of them, I feel like I did the right thing.”

If you are looking for an Islamic country, go to Islamic country.

They don't tell you that the Iranian Islamic revolution came about from an alliance of liberal women and Islamists.
The Islamists dropped the women after they won and took all their rights.
The same is happening in the West.

Intellectual intimacy is top tier but unfortunately such a rare find. Deep conversations, opinions, debates, humour, banter, connecting on a deeper level hits way harder than just on a surface level
