I just wanted to watch the most popular George Floyd video to honor the anniversary of his death. I had no idea I would stumble upon Dave Chappelle's standup video. It contains very few jokes and is basically one long rant about George Floyd and racism. This may have been the first standup special made by anyone in the country since Covid-19. The title refers to the EXACT number of minutes and seconds George Floyd was being stepped on before dying. Dave Chappelle claims it's important to him because that's when he was born!

This is quite relevant to me as it was just MY birthday too! This is basically Dave Chappelle talking about racism and for the first time I knew, that was his great grandfather was a slave! I am so glad we have come so far in this past year with his death and the great job Joe Biden is doing. He mentioned other important cases like Treyvon Martin. I would like to add the case of Amadou Diallo, a man shot 19 times simply because police thought he was reaching for a gun when he was just reaching for his wallet! This is extremely poignant and while not funny, definitely an incredible video. ****
