The truth is that Chappelle is more or less the modal black Democratic Party voter — ultra-woke on things pertaining to blacks and by far the least woke on any other progressive cause, especially feminism and gender stuff

And unfriendly to Israel

First reference to Space Jews meant people who left earth and came back to take it back (ie Israel), second to victims who go elsewhere to become oppressors (ie Israel)

“That’s all changed”

Editor’s note: none of the facts listed in the first paragraph has changed nytimes.com/2021/10/14/bus…

One by one, people and institutions realize that in order to remain tethered to the reality that is the basis of their enterprise, they must pass through the simulation

They just added me for the sake of diversity

I don't of course merit inclusion of the list. I am not an activist engaged in any effort to litigate or legislate against CRT. I am merely an independent commentator who has some views critical of it.
