Dave Chappelle
I Have A Dream …
That White People Will Stop Comparing Charlie Kirk and MLK!!!

Dave Chappelle says Charlie Kirk‘s murder is eerily reminiscent of Martin Luther King Jr.‘s … but that’s where the similarities between them end — full stop.
The comedian released an unexpected Netflix standup special Friday titled “The Unstoppable” … and, unsurprisingly, Chappelle waded into some of the world’s most controversial topics — such as the life and legacy of Kirk.
DC addressed the killing of Kirk … noting Charlie got “murdered in a terrible fashion” just like Dr. King, and adding they both were shot in the neck. However, Chappelle says the two can’t be compared … because Kirk was an internet personality who “fundamentally can’t function like” the late civil rights leader.
He explains … “Internet n****s are negative because they have to be. Because nobody will engage them unless they say sh*t that makes them upset.”
Chapelle next asked the crowd if they could imagine MLK acting like Kirk … and launched into an impersonation of the former engagement farming like many on both left and right-wing social media do, which got raucous laughs from the crowd.
Ever since the assassination of Kirk on a Utah college campus in September, many conservative voices have lifted him up as a defender of free speech and an activist dedicated to saving America’s youth from the rise of alleged communism on college campuses.

Florida Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna likened Charlie to Dr. King, as well as Presidents John F. Kennedy and George Washington during her eulogy of Kirk at his Arizona memorial service.
Dr. King’s son — Martin Luther King III — rejected the comparison between the two shortly after Charlie’s death … saying, “[Kirk] certainly was a force in this society and a significant force, but I just disagree with the position that his force was about inclusiveness.”
