Something is changing in America

 

I saw Dave Chappell last night at Boston TD Garden. It was sold out so I would say 22,000 people there. 3/4 into the show he said I want to address what’s going on in Palestine and Israel.  He specifically said Palestine and said it before Israel. He said what happened on October 7 wasn’t right but also what’s going on isn’t right and not just. You can’t kill innocent civilians like that and the whole world sits silently and watches. Then someone shouted at him from the crowd shut the F up Dave. He then went nuts and yelled back no you shut the F up. you don’t take tens of billions from my country to go kill innocent women and children and come and tell me to shut the F up. He said don’t come begging for money from my country and then go drop bombs on children and cut off innocent people water and electricity. You have the audacity to pay to come see me and then tell me shut the F up no you shut the F up.

 

The crowd started clapping and cheering for him and saying yes Dave and chants of free Palestine and then he said you’re damn right free Palestine. He went on a 15 minutes rant about being a Muslim and that the Israelis are projecting what’s wrong with them on Muslims and the crowd kept on cheering. It was surreal. Crowd was typical Boston demographic 80% white. 5% black and the rest Latin and others.

@Orphéon Okay boo, I get it. You’re pro Israel as shown by your excessive downvotes you did in the other thread, but i’m just posting celeb news

Dave is not someone I enjoy and I hate his takes on lots of things but even a broken clock is right every so often. Good for him

No, this is an anomaly.

 

But congrats to him for showing basic human decency and saying something right for once!!
