@@oku12 Yes that's true, but not always. If it was shot on film, regardless of how old it is, then yes you can derive true HD or 4K from it. But many TV stations up to the mid 2000's shot on videotape not film, and the resolution recorded to the tape was usually 480i. Even though this youtube video is in 1080p, you can tell the source video is a lower resolution than that and it's merely an upscale. Since this interview is from 2004 there's a possibility it was shot in 720p on tape, but honestly it looks more like 480p to me. They probably did some digital cleanup to it to make it look a bit better, but it's still clearly of a different time.

​@Jay Cardon Trump's border wall is stopping illegal immigrants from over running black cities. Trump's First Step Act freed thousands of black men when he overturned Biden's 1994 Crime Bill which destroyed the black community with mass incarceration. After George Floyd's killing, Trump signed a police reform bill outlawing choke holds. Trump also pardoned the 1st black heavy weight champion Jack Johnson after Obama refused to do it. Before Trump, Historical Black Colleges had to go to the white house annually to beg for funding...Trump signed an order providing $250 million/yr in 10-year funding to black colleges. Trump's Opportunity Zone program puts $75 billion in 9,000 low income cities, helping black and minority businesses. Trump and Republicans are pushing for school choice to allow parents in low income areas to send their kids to better schools, Democrats are against this. Obama and Biden could have done all these things, but did nothing to help blacks during their 8 years in office. Jim Crow Joe Biden used the n-word 13 times in senate, he was mentored by former KKK recuriter Robert Byrd and other segregationists and said he didn't want his kids growing up in a "racial jungle"...blacks who still vote for Biden after that are the real sellouts.

[@jewslikefunk]

My father introduced my elder brother & I to Dave & Conan back in 04 through VCR tapes. My family is Indian and my father at that time lived in NY working in finance, and had a hobby of archiving American shows cause somehow he thought he would never get to access these shows again once he returned to India permanently, typical Dad. You see he went to college in the States and always missed American TV specially Johnny Carson. Anyways, he’d return home every year for Christmas and would carry these tapes with him to add to his collection. He’d often show my brother and I tapes of Dave, Louis CK & some favourite TV shows of his. I was too young to understand then however my older brother loved it. Few years later (around 08), I caught the bug too and started exploring comedy on my own. Last year, celebrating my Dad’s 73rd, we got him a VCR machine that hooks up to a modern TV screen to remind him of his good old days of taping late night TV & all his favourite shows. The smile on his face was priceless.

When was Dave a white guy?

[@CorneliusBankz]

So what your saying is it’s atypical for a white guy to have a black guy as a friend.

[@pikpik42]

@@CorneliusBankz I think Dave Chapelle's earlier work in the early 2000s was mainly influenced by "black jokes" that were referring to a social community with own running gags and stereotypes. Of course a white guy can have black friends but sometimes the jokes we're pretty much a deep dive into modern afroamerican culture. If my dad wouldn't have played in so many bands with black folks I would have absolutely no idea what Newports and their connection are. Also, I'm from Germany, so afro-american culture is a pretty small topic here.
