Dave Chappelle made it onto my Comprehensive
List of Antisemitic Celebrities already a year ago. That’s approximately
when his offensive Netflix comedy special, “The Closer” was first aired. The
special included a joke about making a movie called “Space
Jews.” It was masterful. No one could ever have imagined that so many antisemitic tropes could be packed into so few sentences:
In my movie idea, we find out that these aliens are
originally from earth. That they’re from an ancient civilization that achieved
interstellar travel and left the earth thousands of years ago,” he said. “Some
other planet they go to, and things go terrible for them on the other planet,
so they come back to earth, [and] decide that they want to claim the earth for
their very own. It’s a pretty good plot-line, huh? I call it ‘Space Jews.’
Let’s unpack that.
1.
Jews aren’t human. They’re “alien.”
2.
The Jews weren’t expelled from their homeland, but
left for the Diaspora of their own volition, having “achieved interstellar
travel.”
3.
Jews didn’t like
the way they were treated in space/Europe, what with all the pogroms and the
Holocaust and such, so they came back to earth/Israel to claim it for
themselves. Of course, they don’t plan to stop there: the (Space) Jews are
aiming for world domination.
The joke "works," so to speak. We know that Chappelle drove home his point, that the underlying meaning of Space Jews was
received loud and clear. We know this from the reaction of at least one audience member who called out, “Free Palestine!”
The Jews Are White and Rich
But wait. There’s more. In case you did somehow manage to miss Chappelle’s
meaning, or decided to give his short detour into Nazi ideology a pass, he
revisits the joke some 30 minutes later.
There was a black man in South Carolina during slavery who
somehow got granted his freedom by his so-called master. And when his master
granted him the freedom he also gave him a plot of land. Now it turns out this
brother was brilliant. He had a good eye, good knack for farming. And he farmed
this plot of land very successfully and made a lot of money, and this is where
the story gets crazy. When he got all that money this [guy] bought some slaves…
Not only was he a slave owner, he became a slave breeder. And employed tactics
that were so cruel even White slave owners were like, “Yo, my man.” He was a
wild dude, but he did it just because that’s what successful people did at the
time. He just wanted to be down, what a f**** tragedy. How can a person that
went through slavery perpetuate the same evil on a person that looks just like
him? It’s mind blowing. And shockingly, they’re making a movie about him.
Ironically… It is called Space Jews.
So let's take a closer look. Unpacking Chappelle’s revisionist Jewish history of the
South, we find that:
1.
At one time, Jews were oppressed and enslaved like
blacks, but the whites let the Jews into their secret cabal of whiteness. The
other whites then gave these Jewish “whites” land and their freedom.
2.
The Jews were clever and sly, so the plantations
they built did well and they got rich (like they always do).
3.
Once the Jews were rich, they forgot they themselves
had been slaves in Egypt and enslaved the black man, treating him cruelly and subjecting
him to all kinds of perversions. So shocking were these ugly Jewish deeds that
even the (non-Jewish) white slave owners were appalled and took pains to protest.
4. When confronted by the other whites, says Chappelle, the Jews made excuses for their horrid behavior to blacks. “It’s
what successful people do," said the Jews, by Chappelle's account. "It’s what people did at that time to get ahead,” the Jews would say, according to Chappelle.
The Evil Jews Enslaved the Blacks
Chappelle, describing the Jews as evil, asks a question based on lies: How can a person that went through slavery perpetuate the same evil on a person that looks just like him?
What is Chappelle REALLY asking? It's this:
- How can the Jews, who were once slaves,
enslave the black man?
- How can the Jews do the same things to the blacks, perpetrate the same evils, that the Egyptians once did to the Jews?
Arriving at the end of his "joke," Chappelle lands back where he started, at
the movies: Not only is “the Jew” a cruel, rich, evil white oppressor of the
black man, but he is celebrated for that fact in the movies and in Hollywood
itself, which of course, is dominated by . . . “the Jew.”
Despite the overt antisemitism contained in Chappelle’s
special, the Wikipedia entry on "The Closer" says not a peep on this subject. The
entry does mention the Space Jews joke, but spells “Jews” with a lower case “j.”
Under “critical reception” the entry quotes from Eric Deggan’s critical NPR review, decrying Chappelle for oversimplifying
hate of various kinds.
"Untangling homophobia, transphobia, racism and white privilege
requires a lot more effort and understanding than Chappelle makes here."
Wikipedia Buries the "A" Word
But the quote cited makes no mention of understanding or “untangling”
antisemitism. That’s because Wikipedia wants you to believe that antisemitism
doesn’t really signify in the official woke list of “hates.” Even Wikipedia,
however, can’t quite avoid airing the truth. It would be too obvious an omission. Hence, we find the “A” word at last at the bottom of the page, in a footnote, in teeny letters, a further quote from Eric Deggan:
“[Chappelle knows] reviewers like me will quote the joke and
criticize him for it, which I am. I don't really care what point he's trying to
make; a joke that sounds like antisemitism gets a hard pass from me.”
Even a reviewer at the woke NPR knows that Chappelle is an antisemite. Wikipedia, however, saw it fit to bury that fact. Wikipedia was happy to note however, that "The Closer" “received various
award nominations including for two Primetime Emmy Award nominations for
Outstanding Variety Special and Directing for a Variety Special.”
Vindication!
Not only did Chappelle get away with his antisemitic jokes, but he was nominated
for awards in two separate categories! Jew-hate, for the win!
"Buying Time" Through False Contrition
Against this background, we arrive at today's big story: Dave Chappelle’s newest monologue,
a defense of Kanye that further smears and maligns the Jewish people. It’s in
his opening, where Chappelle suggests that if you want to be free to talk smack
about kikes and still make money, you’ve got to dissemble and apologize to "the Jew”:
Before I start tonight, I just wanted to read a brief
statement that I prepared. I denounce antisemitism in all its forms and I stand
with my friends in the Jewish community. And
that, Kanye, is how you buy yourself some time.
We'd already forgotten about Space Jews, but with Ye in the news, Chapelle decided to ride the tail of West's sudden notoriety, and make himself relevant, by reminding us that he too is an antisemite. How best might he illustrate this fact other than to use his platform to let us know that every time someone references
“the Jews,” something bad happens to blacks.
I gotta tell you guys, I’ve probably been doing this for 35
years now and early my career, I learned that there are two words in the
English language that you should never say together in sequence and those words
are “The” and “Jews.” Never heard someone do good after they say that.
"Deathcon 3 on the Jews" a Nothing Burger
Chappelle wants us to know that the whole Kanye thing is a
tempest in a teapot—that no one even remembers how the whole thing started.
Chappelle depicts as a minor event Kanye’s threat to go “deathcon 3” on the Jews.
Just innocent, meaningless, harmless words. An empty threat.
After all, what exactly can Kanye do to “the Jews?” Nothing. It was all just words.
Can’t even remember how it started. I vaguely remember it
started with a tweet — a strange tweet. It was like, “I’m feeling a little
sleepy, I’m gonna get me some rest, but when I wake up, I’m gonna go DEFCON 3!
On the Jews!’ And then he just went to bed. I was up all night worried. What is he going to do to the Jews?
Some of Chappelle’s Best Friends are Jewish
Naturally, some of Chappelle’s best friends are Jewish,
which is why he can say these things.
I grew up around Jewish people. I have a lot of Jewish
friends so I’m not freaked out by your culture. I know a little bit about it
just from hanging around like, yeah let’s get out after school tomorrow and
it’s like we can’t go out it’s sha na na tomorrow. Like, what? What is sha na
na? I had so many questions, like why do some of your people dress like
Run-DMC?
Chappelle next sets his sights on Adidas, not without
cause. From Chappelle’s point of view, Adidas has a huge hutzpah ending Kanye’s
contract, that is considering the sports shoe company's own notorious antisemitic past history of cozying up to the Third Reich.
Chappelle says that Adidas cut ties with Kanye to erase the past and
placate “the Jews.” About this, at least, Chappelle is not wrong:
We went on [the podcast] Drink Champs again and this time
he was all mad about something. He said “I can say antisemitic things. And
Adidas can’t drop me.” Adidas dropped that [expletive] immediately. Ironically,
Adidas was founded by Nazis and they were offended. The student has surpassed
the teacher.

"The student has surpassed the master." The West family in better times, all smiles, all chummy with Louis Farrakhan, antisemite par excellence. |
The Jews are a Hollywood Mob
But now as in the "The Closer," Chappelle must then go back to his favorite target, the Jews. This time he has the Jews dominating Hollywood. He likens them to a mob.
It was a big deal. [Ye] broke the show business rules. You
know, because it’s a rule, the rule of perception. If they’re Black, then it’s
a gang, if they’re Italians a mob, but if
they’re Jewish, it’s a coincidence and you should never speak about it.
And of course, says Chappelle, the movie touted by Irving
was only some minor weirdness, as was the Holocaust, and anyway, “the Jews”
always blame their troubles on the blacks.
Kanye got in so much trouble, Kyrie got in trouble. Kyrie
Irving posted a link to a movie that he had seen on Amazon, no caption on the
post or nothing like that. But apparently this movie had some, I don’t know
antisemitic tropes or something, and it was a weird title like “From He-Bro to
Negro” or something … He was slow to apologize and then the list of demands to
get back in their good graces got longer and longer and this, this is where,
you know, I draw the line I know that
Jewish people have been through terrible things all over the world but you
can’t blame that on Black Americans, you just can’t…Because Kyrie Irving’s
Black ass was nowhere near the Holocaust. In fact he’s not even certain it
existed.
“In Hollywood—It’s a LOT of Jews”
As Chappelle describes it, it’s an all-out Jewish invasion. The
Jews, he says, have taken over Hollywood but you’re not supposed to talk about
it, or you’ll be called an antisemite:
In Hollywood — don’t
want ya’ll to get mad at me. I’m just telling you this is just what I saw. It’s
a lot of Jews. Like, a lot. But that doesn’t mean anything. There’s a lot of
Black people in Ferguson, Missouri … I can see if you had some kind of issue, I
mean, you might go out to Hollywood and you might start connecting some kind of
lines and maybe adopt the delusion that the Jews run show business. It’s not a
crazy thing to think.
But it’s a crazy thing to say out loud.
Actually, no Dave Chappelle. It’s not crazy to say so at
all. The Jews have been successful and predominant in many spheres (oops, I said "the Jews" and nothing bad happened). What IS crazy
and hateful to say is that Jewish success is due to some kind of secret behind-the-scenes
stuff. Some white conspiracy.
Well, let me tell you something Dave Chappelle.
Jews are not white. And it’s called “sweat equity.” We worked hard and sweated
blood to get to where we are. Perhaps you did the same.
The Jews Stifle Free (Hate) Speech
Dave Chappelle tricked Lorne Michaels, the creator of SNL, into
clearing his monologue by switching out his monologue during the rehearsal. It makes sense Chappelle would do this, try to put one over on Michaels. Michaels is a
Jew. And Chappelle says that “the Jews” use antisemitism to stifle free
speech. If Chappelle hadn't tricked Michaels into thinking his monologue was going to be about something else entirely, Dave wouldn't have been allowed his (antisemitic) say:
It shouldn’t be this
scary to talk about anything. It’s making my job incredibly difficult. And to
be honest with you, I’m sick of talking to a crowd like this. I love you to
death and I thank you for your support. And I hope they don’t take anything
away from me… whoever they are.
He's wrong of course. The rantings of Ye, Irving, Chappelle, and James
Baldwin before them, are not free speech to be tolerated, but hate speech that should be given no quarter and never condoned. It begins with speech and ends with people dying by violent means. And the people who do the dying are "the Jews," despite them conquering Hollywood and enslaving the
world and all that.
Chappelle's latest monologue contains all the hallmarks of classic black antisemitism. "The Jews" are white. "The Jews" are rich. "The Jews" enslave the black man. "The Jews" are cruel. "The Jews" are a mob; they have taken over Hollywood; they stifle free speech and force the black man to bow his head and apologize for his hate, a hate that is only natural, in the light of the awful phenomenon that is "The Jew."
Like regular, garden-variety antisemitism,
black antisemitism is informed by hate and superstition, and not a little jealousy.
And of course, hate and jealousy don’t do well in a vacuum—these emotions
require a scapegoat, and somehow that scapegoat is always “the Jew.”
