Transcript

Have you ever asked yourself why it was easier for Bruce Jenner to change his gender than it was for Cassius Clay to change his fucking name? I think Dave Chappelle is America's greatest philosopher, and in this quote, he's talking about white privilege, and how it's easier for, you know, Bruce Jenner to change his gender than it was for a black man in the 1960s Cassius Clay, to you know, say I'm a Muslim. And I don't believe in war and all these powerful things that Muhammad Ali Cassius Clay stood for, and yet, you know, cut to whatever it is 35 years later, and you have a man becoming a woman, and he's making millions she's making millions of dollars. Been doing so because it's all televised and it's on the cover of Vanity Fair, and it's a tell A thing and it's a very interesting phenomenon and a wonderful, wonderful understanding of the privilege that us white, particularly males, enjoy in our culture.

So, I, you know, I just I literally bowed down to America's greatest philosopher Dave Chappelle.
