[@Cagon415]

Dave Chappelle is the only racial satirist to realize that racists were laughing at his jokes. This is what Aaron Mcgruder never realized with the Boondocks. Still a great show in its own right. But it's something that most people seem to be oblivious to. Chappelle is extremely observant and socially aware. He's actually "woke".

[@KPITGangsta]

I call shenanigans. He marketed an “Uncle Ruckus Movie” for a reason.

[@Hybred]

I know quite a lot of African Americans who liked boondocks so that definitely isn't true. Racist people will love racist jokes, that's a given but it doesn't mean non-racist people won't either. I mean racist people probably like normal jokes as well, same with non-racist people so you can't never tell a joke again in fear of making someone you don't like laugh.

[@randallsmerna384]

Not everything Dave thinks is right - even he would admit that. Interpretations of experiences are real but can also be wrong.

He made a choice take the 50 million and continue to get pimped by Hollywood, or get out at the height of his career which made people want to see him even more continue to sharpen his craft then come back and pimp the game himself. Making his paper on his own terms not on someone else's .

This man is amazing. So profound yet so critical of himself and how much of an impact he would have on such a large population. It had to be on his terms in order to convey the message he was trying to send. Any other way would've swung the opinions one way or another. And it couldn't happen like that until it was allowed that he preform as his whole self.

[@0That_Guy0]

On his list of what would make the cost of success too high, I think he wrote "personal integrity". I can't read minds, but from what I gather he strikes me as a man who wants to stay true to his values and what he believes. I get the feeling he had good parents, but he also listened to their advice. That's twice blessed.

You have a real problem reading people. Oprah was not hostile to Chappelle. She was asking him questions that most people would ask and you read hostility in that. She's a great interviewer and if Chappelle thought she was hostile his reactions would probably have been different. As it is he was very open with her.
