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.

WE DEAL WITH RACISM ON ALL FRONTS

WE DEAL WITH RACISM ON ALL FRONTS We deal with systemic racism on all fronts. We mentor; we start programs to protect our kids; we fire ALL of the white cops from elsewheres patrolling and brutalizing Black spaces who funnel in the drugs and the guns with impunity then lock up our kids for having (or using) them. And where do kids get guns for drive-bys? (Rhetorical) And do an inordinate amount of crimes occur in Black spaces in Baltimore and Detroit and L.A. as opposed to NY because Black folk in our city have more character and higher morals? (Also rhetorical) It’s because cops are not allowed to pump these things in here! We do have CHILD rape rings here which rival Florida, Texas and possibly even California (California is a dense, big state). We need to fire ALL of the white cops from elsewheres patrolling and brutalizing Black spaces! And regarding the white people and the Black folk who worship them who aid systemic racism through complicity, ignorance and arrog...

SO WHERE’S THE UPROAR…?

So where is the uproar when not one but two Black women world champions bow out from their sport because of the racist media for health reasons? Their media of course focuses in on the “health reasons“ but we all know the truth! Did Michael Jordan put a black tape over his mouth to stop speaking to the racist press for health reasons? Did Eddie Murphy only give interviews with Bryant Gumbel because of the racist press for health reasons? When we look at the interviews at the races press conducted with Mohammed Ally, they’re all about how he’s slowing down. No one mentions how our government took three years from him while he was in his boxing Prime! White people, boy! Can’t wait ‘til we have our own media. Everything changes.
