Libs Might Want to Sit Down before Listening to Dave Chappelle’s Take on Political Correctness, Cancel Culture, and Guns

Comedian, provocateur, and actor Dave Chappelle has never bowed to his liberal overlords.  He has consistently produced art that is precisely what he wants to produce – nothing more, nothing less.  People can argue about the merits of his work – and do – but his take on political issues is really refreshing.  

“It’s the best part of the First Amendment to me that I’m able to express myself this way and make a viable living doing it,” he told NPR before accepting the Kennedy Center’s Mark Twain Prize for American Humor.  During his speech, he admitted that sometimes comedians say things that are racist.

“Don’t get mad at ’em, don’t hate on ’em,” Chappelle said. “Man, it’s not that serious. The First Amendment is first for a reason. Second Amendment is just in case the first one doesn’t work out.”

I can only imagine the way liberals responded to that one. Is it just me, or does it seem the tide is finally turning on all the liberal, anti-speech inanity of political correctness?

And speaking of political correctness, Chappelle had a take on that as well.

“Political correctness has its place,” he told a reporter who stopped him on the red carpet.  “I, personally, am not afraid of other people’s freedom of expression. I don’t use it as a weapon. It just makes me feel better. And I’m sorry if I hurt anybody. Etc., etc. Yada, yada, yada. Everything I’m supposed to say.”

Watch his flippant disregard in the video below:

And, if you are interested in seeing him accept the Kennedy Award – in which he lights up a cigarette and challenges staff to arrest him — his speech will air on January 7 at 9 p.m. EST on PBS.
