Dave Chappelle On The Heroin Crisis Reaction

[@PIForever]

Have an awesome weekend everyone! Thanks for watching!

[@WinterSo1dier]

P.I. Forever enjoy your weekend as well! Dave is a comedic genius ❤️. Gotta check out Michael Che: Matters

[@pbajst]

You can see the impact of Mr. Chappelle being raised by a mother who is a professor of African-American studies. The way he weaves stories such as the one of Emitt Till and the general treatment of Americans of African descent. He is a comedian with no equal, but he is also a teacher! I have SO much respect for this man!

RIGHT💯🤘

[@todellsworth1235]

As a white heroin addict clean for 6 years this is f*cking hilarious 😂

[@renatoh.santosdasilva3080]

Keep on fighting, brother. Stay strong 💙

[@jordannaA]

Congrats on your sobriety

[@Mad-wv6ol]

Glad to hear you've been clean for six years

[@dannygjk]

I bet even funnier for you! XD

[@renatoh.santosdasilva3080]

Sadly it cuts before he says "be that as it may... I'm armed to the teeth", one of the best bits of the special.

[@lauracox8125]

Dave Chappell is absolutely hilarious! I’ve watched his new special at least 5 times! Make sure you guys check it out! Side note for some reason my notification didn’t show up for this reaction and hit the bell for all! Glad I found this though!! Love your reactions! You guys are awesome!

[@Sk8c03]

I love this dude. So wise.. so real

[@joshuacoe8235]

You guys are funny and I enjoy your genuine reactions, you don't try to over analyze, and that's something I respect. Blessings to you.

Love Chappelle!

As a white, he speaks the truth👍👏😂

[@Christian-vq8rd]

As a white guy with family in west Ohio, just north of Dayton, it's TRUE and sad. The opioids quickly turn to heroin. So much of the rust belt is blighted. When the jobs left, the people that didnt leave fell apart with the cities.

[@getoveritlaughing3509]

@@Christian-vq8rd I was working in Akron a couple years ago and it was by far the worst shit I've seen..I live in rural Virginia we have drug problems..But I was seeing people walking around with IV's in so they wouldn't need a needle to shoot up..I was remodeling houses to section 8 out for a investor..I was offered a free place all bills paid and a 60,000 a year salary to move there and take care of houses and I wouldn't..I couldn't put my kid through growing up in that area..Sad place to see..

[@thedangerpickle]

Coughing isn't a sickness; it's a symptomatic side-effect of a larger illness. So is addiction.

[@continentalaquatics2725]

TheDangerPickle 100%! Something has to be really wrong with someone to willingly inject themselves with heroin or use crack in a desperate attempt to escape whatever is ailing them. I mean, they all see that these drugs help absolutely nobody and do nothing but make matters worse, but there is no dearth of people willing to give it a try in the first place. Sad!

[@KtotheG]

@@continentalaquatics2725 Not just crack and heroin, but sugar and caffeine, too.

[@continentalaquatics2725]

Kory Green True! I’m the only person I know who doesn’t suffer from migraines from not satiating a dependence on caffeine. Lately, I could afford to take in less sugar because I’m only aging in one direction, but I’m very thankful for my health.

[@sydlawson3181]

@@continentalaquatics2725 I dont feel something has to be wrong with an individual for them to try crack or heroin because frankly a lot of very intelligent (generally artistic) people use hard drugs occasionally. Its more out of boredom, indifference or curiosity then an inability to cope. In my experience these people seldom become addicts.

[@callanc3925]

The thing is, a lot of heroin addiction comes from prescription opiate/opioid addiction. Once the doc cuts them off because they no longer qualify for the prescription they either have to suffer the withdrawals or get high some other way and for most people its a lot more favourable to just do some H

😂 So true. I live in West Virginia neighbor to Ohio. He’s right. There’s heroin zombies everywhere.

[@ipsurvivor]

Coco H - For Your Further Information: WEST VIRGINIA actually has the highest death rate via opioid overdoses in the entire country. “Those who live Glass Houses shouldn’t throw stones”. {Opioid-Involved Overdose Deaths West Virginia has the highest age-adjusted rate of drug overdose deaths involving opioids. In 2017, there were 833 drug overdose deaths involving opioids in West Virginia-a rate of 49.6 deaths per 100,000 persons. This is the double the rate in 2010 and threefold higher than the national rate of 14.6 deaths per 100,000 persons. The sharpest increase in opioid involved overdose deaths was seen in cases involving synthetic opioids other than methadone (mainly fentanyl): a rise from 122 deaths in 2014 to 618 deaths in 2017 (Figure 1). Deaths involving heroin also increased significantly in the same 3-year period: from 163 to 244 deaths. Prescription opioid-involved deaths decreased by 20% from 383 in 2014 to 304 in 2017. Revised March 2019} From the National Institute On Drug Abuse

[@ScarySnippet]

ipsurvivor opioid crisis affects every state. Yes my state is affected the most. However it’s comedy. Quit being so sensitive. People choose to do drugs. There is help out there if they need it. In my opinion laws need to be changed. If someone is found with drugs on them and in their system. They should automatically choose a year in rehab with a year of probation. If they don’t do rehab then get 2 years in jail.

[@ipsurvivor]

Coco H - Your solution of criminalizing addicts appeals to our sense of responsibility but it’s part of the problem. I’ll be as sensitive as I want to be or not... I’m just wondering why you picked the State across the river for your Heroin Zombie Apocalypse scenario instead of saying, “Yeah, I live in West Virginia, the State with the highest opioid overdose deaths”. I mean your State wins the Heroin Zombie 🧟‍♀️ Prize And you congratulate the runner up? That was a cheap shot winner and you know it. All you have to do is look out your window to get a front seat to the Heroin Zombie Apocalypse and you have to switch venues? Because you’re above all that?

[@ScarySnippet]

ipsurvivor OMG DUDE. Why are you taking things so serious. It’s a comedy video. Comedy, jokes, laughs. Nobody is taking cheap shots. Only you are.

[@ScarySnippet]

ipsurvivor You don’t know me or know exactly where I live in WV. Opioids are everywhere!! It affects every family. You are the type that’ll go into a comedy show and get offended at every joke. Sheesh. 🤦‍♀️

[@rafaguimaandrade]

there's a doc about the crack epidemic in netflix and it reminded me instantly about this bit...

[@kevinmason4917]

To really test the sense of humor of you fine gentlemen I'd love to see some Anthony Jeselnik reaction videos. That man absolutely cracks me up in a way that makes me feel wrong for laughing and it's wonderful.

[@imwithenglish4722]

As A WhITe... 😂😂😂 that’s the whole comment section

[@sagemckearney1193]

His impersonation of the trashcan-junkie was spot on. Where I live in Vermont you can spot these critters a mile away and theres a lot of them. I watched a pregnant woman snorting pills like the was a scratch 'n sniff champion with track marks going up her arm like she wanted a sleeve. I'd find them at 3 am passed out in the bathroom needle still in the arm. It's commonplace up here to the point that local doctors and therapists just want them to OD. Not making this up, these people came in still in their work clothes, name tag and all and told me themselves in detail how they felt. Terrifying to be around.

I'm from Mississippi, and it's rampant there, too. Family, friends, peers. Got the holy hell outta there at 17. Most aren't that lucky.

[@MattHunX]

Question is, can you laugh at jokes about it? Do you happen to have the kind of sense of humor that allows you to laugh, instead of feeling a twinge? Or worse, getting offended by it all. The ability to laugh at it is not even an acquired thing, I think. If one can't laugh at a certain topic, for personal reasons, then they just can't. I don't think they can eventually learn to laugh at that same topic. But, those people that CAN laugh, even when they have negative personal experience, that's a healthier response than getting offended.

[@christopherbrasher433]

Same here..I have a picture of me and 6 friends..Im in the middle with 3 on either side. I'm the only one left. 4 of them died from drug overdoses, 1 died from a bike accident and the other was shot..This all happened in a period of 2 years. It's rough knowing that all of my friends are gone..

Here in Fl heroin doesn't discriminate black white etc yet in the 80's the crack epidemic was out of control... I'll never forget Nancy Reagan riding in that battle ram w/ the police destroying innocent people's homes in Cali smh

[@Phatnaru0002]

Anyone that says "let them be addicted" Hasn't witnessed, first-hand, opioids changing someone's personality. When you see that, you realize that whether or not they hurt someone, is no longer in their control.

[@callanc3925]

I generally let people who say "let them be addicted" slide, because its often 30+ year old black people who were alive when the crack epidemic was a thing and white people were telling them "just say no"

[@Phatnaru0002]

@@callanc3925 That's not a real thing. That's a joke that Chappelle told. The crack epidemic was taken very seriously, or do you not remember the "war on drugs"?

[@callanc3925]

@@Phatnaru0002 nancy reagan literally said on tv "just say no", he was quoting nancy reagan. The war on drugs was fabricated by the american government, along with the crack epidemic, and was more about cannabis than anything else (which they actually called marijuana and pronounced with a mexican accent so they could use it to promote racism against mexicans)

[@Phatnaru0002]

@@callanc3925 Nancy Reagan was a first lady, whom had almost no impact on politics. Nixon declared a literally WAR on drugs, because of the crack epidemic, and, no, it was not "fabricated". It was a failed project, sure, but they sunk millions of dollars and countless hours of military manpower trying to stop it. The black community were FAR from the only ones affected by the crack epidemic. They were just affected the worst. So the idea that racism is what triggered the attitudes regarding addiction, is completely ridiculous. A funny joke, but a joke nonetheless.

[@TheMoezilla]

P.S. Just wondering if you have authored any self help books that guarantee perfect, mistake free lives?

[@Incompetences]

Many, MANY of them are sick. They got addicted due to genuine sickness, either physical sickness from their doctors or mental sickness that they're trying to self medicate. Opiates create a physical dependency extremely quickly, to where you become EXTREMELY sick if you don't have the drugs. If you rely on those drugs to feel normal or work, not having them will make you lose your job, your life, everything. Not everyone on drugs is a worthless junky on the streets. Your comment just shows how little compassion there is for people suffering and how much we need to spread awareness for addiction and mental illness.
