Dave Chapelle explains the Jussie Smollet affair

 

He's not backward in coming forward.




Personally, I think Jussie Smollet made up the whole thing to attack President Trump's policies and make himself look good to the DEI/BLM/Antifa crowd.  It's good to know some of his own people recognize that too, and aren't afraid to call him on it.

It follows a pattern where a person feels that he or she is losing popularity, and gins up a controversy to maintain or increase it.
Smollet, Kaepernick, etc.

French, gay, black. Dave left out - "tough call - which one is worst?"

It may be that Dave is the only comedian who could do that skit, and I'm glad he did.

Don’t forget Megan Markel.

As I recall he was about to be fired from the show so he created the entire lynching fantasy for leverage against the showrunners.

One must admire Mr. Smollett's commitment to race-blind casting.
