THE TRUTH ABOUT THE CHAPPELLE SHOW

Again, The Chappelle Show made Comedy Central a billion dollars! Now I know that this number is ginormous so let’s break it down:


A subscription to Comedy Central costs $5 a month on average. Times 12 months is $60. 1 billion divided by $60 equals 16 and a half million subscribers.


There are 350 million in the US alone and the cable network knows that folk weren’t paying to see Tosh O!


Now Dave’s original contract was for half the proceeds. But CC wasn’t about to pay no n**ger 500 million dollars, so they ‘renegotiated’ it to 50 million.


Now 50 million seems like a lot to you and me, but not if your singular talent makes your partner over a billion! 


And when Dave said that his fans wouldn’t stand for it, they spread a rumor that he went on a crack binge in Africa - and it was so.


I found all of this out via Katt Williams. You can still see his comments on YouTube, but he stopped mentioning it in his interviews since white cops from elsewheres raided his business office where his CHILDREN were (1 biological and 7 adopted), went into his locked safe, found his registered handgun and threatened to take his kids away for CHILD endangerment.


Now for everyone who’s heard me tell this story, there are dozens who say ‘I never heard that before!’


But now, Comedy Central wants to make even more money by licensing the show out to other venues and even the likes of HBO and Netflix are like ‘Haven’t you pilfered this guy enough?!?’


The truth is that these venues have to weigh the profit of having a great show (for which the host is paid NOTHING) against their fan base. And in the end, it wasn’t worth the risk.


Can’t wait ‘til we have our own media. Everything changes.

ON REPARATIONS

Never banter with white folk about reparations. It’s like arguing with your boss about wages they haven’t paid you. The only acceptable answer, whether they can give it or not, is “Yeah… You right!” Anything less from them is pure toxicity.

Rigged Legal System

Search words: Rigged Legal System, Gauntlet of oppression, racial profiling throughout  Years ago on jury duty, I was asked to render a ‘fair and impartial’ judgement regarding a young Black man accused of possession on the Upper East Side. There were only two Black people on the jury, myself and another dude. After a very long time, we ended up finding the defendant guilty. That’s the end of the story but not the narrative. The twelve main things I came to realize: 1. Several Black potential jurors were citing a mantra about their unwillingness to participate in a prejudiced judicial system. It was my first time hearing it but should I be called again, I’ll google it and voice my objection in the same way. 2. The suspect was stopped for a broken taillight, but as his wife said when she examined their car at the station, the light was never broken. 3. The white judge, however, ruled that the bust was still legit even though he was clearly stopped for drivin...

WHOEVER CONTROLS THE MEDIA CONTROLS THE NARRATIVE

WHOEVER CONTROLS THE MEDIA CONTROLS THE NARRATIVE White cops NEVER leak to the press that they’re now investigating specific members (by name) of the Aryan Brotherhood. When it’s them, the investigation is ALWAYS ongoing. But when it’s us, they ‘leak’ that Sandra was ‘suicidal’, Cyntoia and Mike Brown and Marissa Alexander were ‘no Angels’, Korryn was ‘unstable’, King was a philanderer, Trayvon engaged in ground n pound because he watched ultimate fighting on tv (or how the media runs with his dad saying that the blood-curdling scream heard on the 911 call of a neighbor was NOT his son. The last time we heard our son give a piercing scream was when he was slightly colicky at 3months old!). Or it was leaked that grandma Eleanor Bumpers came at the armed and armored cops with a kitchen knife so they had to shoot during the no-knock raid on the wrong home. Or the leak that Sean Bell shot at cops first on eve before his wedding day. Or the leak that Tawana Brawley did...
