Does the Coli consider Dave Chappelle a c00n?

[lurker emeritus]

he also sees himself (or did) as a comedian before a black person (like many of the fake feminists&lgbtqlmnop in the community). of course we know we (most of us) can't run from race.

like others said, doesn't mean he doesn't acknowledge his errors.
i personally always thought he was a bit of a confused negro, but always enjoyed his works.

Gotchu. I agree with the spoiler. Let's all forget the word c00n for a minute because it can mean anything at this point. Do you think creators nowadays are pandering because they now realize how powerful the Black dollar can be, has always been, and will continue to be? For example, with Jordan Peele and Get out, everyone knew Jordan Peele as the "Oreo" safe negro (not my opinion tbh but whatever). When Get Out dropped everyone had the face, and praised that movie as a new spin on white supremacy, interracial dating, etc... You couldn't tell Black people shyt about that film. Now my question is since he's married and has a child with a white(?) woman, do nikkas really believe that he himself had ulterior motives of capitalizing off of what he KNEW would be a hit, or did he actually have stock into what the movie was supposed to represent?

Edit: Also it doesn't have to be one or the other, could definitely be bits and pieces of both

I mean, creators will always pander in order to be successful in a capitalistic society because they generally fall under the umbrella of entertainers, and that is a big umbrella indeed, because if a woman can fukk hundreds of men on camera and call it entertainment then anything could potentially be entertainment IMO.

When it comes to black people, entertainers aren't looking to capitalize off of black dollars so much as black social capital--black people are cool, and what black people create and what black people like automatically gets added value. The reasons why this is are complex and multi-layered, but it's generally because black people are great satirists and are authentic people who have been forced to support society--despite its huge failings--while putting on a good face (an impossible task for other people, but I digress).

So regarding Peele, him being in an interracial relationship and making a movie about interracial dating sounds logical enough. Could he have used his own knowledge to pander? Sure, but that's what hustling is about if you're in entertainment.

As an aside, being an "oreo" and being "safe" (non-threatening is a better word IMO) are two distinct things that get conflated by people who don't know how to move within themselves. An oreo is someone who wants to be white (you can be raised around white folks and not want to be white). A person who is non-threatening is someone who is approachable and lives in reality.

Man African Americans trying to be the authority on blackness is stupid..

 

[MischievousMonkey]

Converting to Islam is like converting to white supremacy. Islam has been (and continues to be) just about as bad as white supremacy to black people worldwide.

Coli nikkas are the dumbest group of pretenders around. Who cares what tlr thinks about anything?

 

[Hacksaw Jim Thuggin]

No he’s not. Do you even know what a c00n is?

yep...

most of these cats dont know what one is....

anyone with a different opinion is a c00n here

 

[old pig]

even chappelle conceded that his humor was dangerously close to crossing that line but the fact that he acknowledged it and even stepped down from the show bcuz of it makes it hard for me to call him a c00n...a c00n woulda taken that $50M check w/o a second thought

 

[Drew Wonder]

How many of the people in here calling him a c00n would pass up $50 million because a white person laughed a little too hard at your joke?

 

[Let A Fro Be A Fro]

He might be funny, but yeah, he's done more than his fair share of c00ning. I remember listening to his mother on this podcast(and also reading this column: - The Washington Post) and thinking "She worked with Patrice Lamumba and was a pioneer in African American studies. She later watched her son grow up to become famous for portraying a stoner, a crackhead, and a white supremacist "

Our guest today is Dr. Yvonne Seon. Many do not know she is the mother of the American actor and comedian Dave Chappelle. Many also do not know that in 1960, she worked with Patrice Lumumba while she was only 22 years old. She was the first African American to work with the Congolese government. Listen to the show live today to learn more about why she went to support her brothers and sisters in the heart of Africa.

Dr. Yvonne Seon’s Bio
Born in Washington, DC in December 1937, Dr. Yvonne Seon is a pioneer in African American Studies curriculum development and the first African American woman to be ordained as a Minister in the Unitarian Church. She holds a Master’s degree in Divinity and Ph.D. in African American Studies. One of her sons is the famous comedian & TV star, Dave Chapelle.

Seon earned a B.A. degree with honors from Allegheny College in 1959, and a year later the M.A. degree as a Woodrow Wilson Fellow, with honors from American University in American Government and politics.
In the summer of 1960, Seon met Patrice Lumumba, then-Prime Minister of the newly independent Congo (today Democratic Republic of the Congo), on his only visit to the United States. Proficient in French and with a keen interest in Africa, Seon accepted his offer of a job in the new government. She eventually served as Secretary to the High Commission for the Inga Dam Project, the highest Government position open to a non-citizen, equivalent to an Executive Director. The first American hired by the new government, she managed the Commission and helped assure uninterrupted recordings of technical data needed for dam construction.

The mother of three adult offspring, she resides in Hyattsville, Maryland.

[RehReh]

The post right after this one

That’s why I dapped him

 

[Majestic]

The Chappelle show was but that's for another discussion. Even racists loved that show and we all know why.

 

[George's Dilemma]

Everybody is a c00n to the Coli.

 

[Kilgore Trout]

Just wondering. Since the consensus seems to be that if you're not building a family with a Black woman, there's no way you can be for Black people as a whole

shut the fukk up

 

[Bryan Danielson]

"non-black wife"
