Damon Wayans Says Chappelle ‘Freed The Slaves’ With Anti-PC Special

Comedian and actor Damon Wayans last week praised Dave Chappelle for his Netflix special “The Closer,” saying the politically incorrect content “freed the slaves,” referring to fellow comedians feeling trapped to perform within the confines of the Left’s terms, lest they be canceled.

“I feel like Dave freed the slaves,” Wayans told TMZ. “The comedians, we were slaves to PC [political correctness] culture and he just, you know, as an artist he’s Van Gogh. Cut his ear off, he’s trying to tell us it’s okay.”

Wayans said he’s personally always felt “free” from the Left’s confines, but he sees how other comedians are being stifled, out of fear of being “canceled.”

The 61-year-old also emphasized the principle of freedom of speech, noting that you’re not really free if you’re only saying things you believe you have to say and forgoing taboo territory out of fear.

“I just feel like [Chappelle’s] saying, ‘All that I have, I’m not afraid to lose it for the sake of freedom of speech,’” the actor said.

“You can’t edit yourself,” Wayans continued. “Comedians, we’re like … Mercedes makes a great car. But they gotta crash a lot of them before they perfect it.”

“Someone needs to look us in the eye and say, ‘You’re no longer free in this country. You’re not free to say what you want, you say what we want you to say — otherwise we will cancel you,’” Wayans underscored. “That’s the discussion we should have.”

Chappelle, once again, completely bucked the Left’s narrative on gender in his recently-released Netflix comedy special “The Closer.”
