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.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PERSUASION AND CONVICTION

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PERSUASION AND CONVICTION Decades ago, in my teens, my oldest brother and I had a talk where I said, “Can you believe that they’re having another gay pride parade?” He told me that he participated in a gay pride parade. Then we just stared at one another - and because many don’t know how to communicate without language, I will translate: Me: (But you’re not gay) Him: (True, but our struggle is their struggle and theirs is ours) Me: (Hmmm. Now I have to rethink everything because this is my brother whom I love challenging my core beliefs). I was persuaded that day. Today, my brother is long dead but I’m still reposting. That’s called CONVICTION.

ON SCAPEGOATING WHITE SAVAGERY

 Those who brought their CHILDREN to lynchings dressed in their Sunday best are not ghouls or monsters or any more racist than white folk are today. They’re just people conditioned to do what white savagery tells them is acceptable. And decades from now, they’ll scapegoat the white folk today who ignore the hashtags, refuse to say fire ALL of the white cops from elsewheres, creating the most incarcerating nation on the planet...EVER! All while continuing their 22nd century conditioned evils without a thought of repenting. It’s like there’s some sort of spell...

When white folk dump, we can’t get Angry about it

I got angry over a white (almost white) person saying that I’m overreacting. Immediately afterwards, I berated myself, thinking that I should’ve held my cool. But just as we laud those black heroes who articulate the pain rather than express it, we condemn ourselves for feeling what is normal to feel.  Part of colonization says that I have no right to be angry and that my anger is naturally perceived as a threat so it’s in my best interest to hold my tongue. This is not normal. We must break the economic, physical, emotional and spiritual consequences to be true human beings. Otherwise we’re just lying to ourselves. “How dare they get angry over our oppression of them!”
