Charlamagne Defends Dave Chappelle’s SNL Monologue, Bashes ADL For Not ‘Teaching’ What Anti-Semitic Actually Means

Charlamagne Tha God defended Dave Chappelle after he was criticized for his monologue for Saturday Night Live.

On the Monday edition of The Breakfast Club, hosts DJ Envy, Angela Yee, and Charlamagne discussed the issues surrounding Saturday’s episode.

---

“I saw the ADL. The ADL is upset about Dave’s monologue. And you know, like you said, some folks are saying he’s normalizing antisemitism. I believe the ADL should use this opportunity to teach, because at this point, this isn’t getting us anywhere,” Charlamagne said.

“I’ve learned a lot about what is considered to be antisemitic over the last couple of years, but I personally didn’t hear anything that would be considered antisemitic and Dave’s monologue,” he added.

What a fucking asshole, but so goddamned predictable. Switch the groups, how would that be received?!

Young people listen to their crap. Now these radio hosts are jumping on the
Bandwagon to claim that the vile attacks on the Jewish commuter is nothing.

They apologists for Kanye better get their heads re-adjusted and quick.
Who stood up for civil rights, voter protections, educational equality?

-----oh 'The Jews' , that's who.

Everyone thinks they can say anything. Well, idiots. Next time you and your pals are being threatened....maybe no one will protect you. Karma is coming to you.

or interpret comments/slurs made towards them. Rightfully they would/do go ballistic over comments made toward them and other black people.

What is this trend? Like the age-old mansplaining toward women trend has actually moved toward other targets.

“I know that wasn’t Dave’s intention — because Dave literally started the monologue off denouncing antisemitism”.

Well, no he didn’t. Chappelle said, “that’s how you buy yourself some time”. His opening statement appeared to denounce anti-semitism, but really what he did was buy himself time to say some pretty outrageous things.
