Just saw Chappelle's #SNL monologue. With the caveat I'm terrible at predictions I expect:
1. People will be annoyed (either for the monologue itself or as an excuse for other things he's said)
2. People (including Jews) will defend him (either on principle or substance)

3. It's not that I think Chappelle is bulletproof (though he's close) he's very intelligent in what he says and how he says it. But bec of his status and stature, he also becomes a proxy for a lot of other fights.
In any event, I don't see his career being meaningfully impacted

4. As I understood Chappelle's monologue, the key point is that there are double standards regarding who can say what about whom.
If my Twitter feed is any indication, everyone agrees this is a problem though there's rampant disagreement over the details.

5. I think the most contentious line will be the "taking it out on black people" which will largely depend on experiences and track records.
