If Chappelle really wants to be a feminist he should read some bell hooks, and Angela Davis, or the book Women of Color and Feminism by Dr. Maythee Rojas. It might help him understand that rape is a sensitive subject for all women. Go to Full Review

Ben N @Bneffer Jan 19 The Chappelle Show was genre breaking and hilarious. Stand alone it is my favorite comedy sketch show, ever, followed closely by Mr. Show and the 90s offerings, and SNL.

See more Petros T @PetrosTserpelis 05/30/2021 THE AGE OF SPIN. Watching "The Age of Spin", it's not too hard to see why Chappelle is considered one of the best. He is a magnetic presence that doesn't need act-outs to captivate. He is effortlessly cool, pulls no punches and shares interesting points of view. But above all he is funny in a natural way and has the audience hanging from his every word, waiting to see what comes next. DEEP IN THE HEART OF TEXAS. The charismatic Chappelle, pulling a successful one-two along with "The Age of Spin", herein delivers one more effortlessly funny special. For me, his sociopolitical bits are his best and most interesting, even when I don't fully agree, whereas I felt his family- and celebrity-themed ones waned slightly in comparison, nevertheless "Deep in the Heart of Texas" is a definite winner.
