I haven’t seen Dave Chappelle in a while but he was on Saturday Night Live (SNL) last night. He’s a tremendously funny comedian as well as an exceptionally talented screenwriter, producer and actor. It’s also worth mentioning that he was born and raised in Washington, D.C.
His performance on SNL consisted of a witty and insightful stand-up monologue which went on for about 11 and a half minutes. The entire thing was extremely funny and classy (nothing dirty or distasteful)!
Chappelle’s comical and tactful performance covered, though was not limited to, the following:
(1) the recent white riots in Portland (Oregon)
(2) Omarosa at Trump’s Victory Speech (WOBIK note: will she be appointed to a key position in Trump’s administration?)
(3) fake ISIS attacks
(4) Cincinnati Police more reluctant to shoot gorillas than they are to shoot black people
(5) why Trump Hotels are swell (as in excellent)
(6) tax cuts for rich blacks (including Chappelle himself)
(7) history of black Americans in the White House
In closing Chappelle stated that he is …hopeful and proud to be an American… and that he is …wishing Donald Trump Luck… and that …I’m going to give him [i.e., Trump] a chance and we the historically disenfranchised [i.e., black Americans] demand that he give us one too.

Dave Chappelle’s Heartfelt ‘SNL’ Monologue Reveals The True Source Of Career Success

Excerpt:
In 2005, Dave Chappelle surprised everyone when he left his show on Comedy Central, walking away from a $50 million contract.
Since then he’s been thought of as a ”renegade to some, a lunatic to others, but most of all, an enigma.”
He never left comedy entirely, although three years ago he began to resurface more consistently, first with a radio appearance, then a stand-up tour. Recently he’s performed in New York City, and tonight he made his debut as host of sketch comedy show, Saturday Night Live.
The show opened with Kate McKinnon’s Hillary Clinton performing a rendition of Leonard Cohen’s song “Hallelujah.”
During his monologue, Chappelle reflected on a recent opportunity to visit the White House, noting that Frederick Douglass was escorted away by two policeman when he attempted to enter the White House to congratulate the President Lincoln on his Second Inaugural Address. Only after Lincoln found out he’d been turned away was Douglass admitted. Chappelle said he’d give Donald Trump a chance if the President-Elect would give blacks, a historically disenfranchised people, a chance too.
His SNL appearance is the latest milestone in what some call his comeback. Yet the twists and turns in his career and the motivations behind his return reveal lessons for anyone interested in achieving excellence in their chosen vocation.

As a consequence, I think we are entering the most DANGEROUS TIME in our country’s history since the Civil War.

UMich students demand no-whites-allowed space to plot social justice activism
THE COLLEGE FIX
Mason Clark – The Kings College NYC
2/23/2017
Excerpt:
A student activist group at the University of Michigan is demanding campus officials provide them with a permanent designated space on central campus for Black students and students of color to organize and do social justice work.
The demand is one of several lodged by ‘Students4Justice’, who this month ratcheted up campus demonstrations to pressure administrators to cave, complaining in a newly launched petition that President Mark Schlissel has snubbed their demands.
The clamor for a segregated space for students of color to organize social justice efforts comes even as the public university builds a $10 million center for black students in the center of campus.
In their demands, students explain why the new black student center is not enough, because we want a space solely dedicated to community organizing and social justice work specifically for people of color.
We want documentation of past, current, and future student activism and this should be a permanent space that is staffed, and has resources for students to organize and share resources, the demand letter states.
