"How? You are my grandson. How can I not listen to you and be elevated by you?" When we hear leaders giving hate speech when the young are calling for unity and accountablity we know how far we have strayed from humanity. This is a beautiful interview. This is how the world should be.

[@oslo15]

This struck me as well. “You are my grandson.” It proves her earlier remark that what allowed her to do what she did, and think how she did, was love. Her capacity for loving and respecting others was so great, she couldn’t help but be the icon so many looked-and continue to look-to as a model for what their lives should be.

[@zeblackfox]

if we as humans just saw each other that way ....just simply that way

[@hugomarquez3189]

It was my favorite part, because it was when their opinions were diametrically opposed and there could have been somewhat of a conflict. Dave’s comedy is a lot of n word this n word that. She could have just taken the position of the great elder who can’t be questioned, but she’s wiser than that, she understood that there was truth in what Dave was saying as well, that even if they disagreed, they could both be right, and that she could learn something from him. That shows you she’s not just someone who’s revered for nothing, she’s truly a great mind.

[@mrsimaniackerman]

So beautiful - the mutual reverence for each other.

You spoke my thoughts. I love how she explained why words are so important to her after not speaking for 6 years. I cried listening to her speak, because she has a way to FEEL what she says, not just hear the words. What an incredible human.

[@cynfinite]

What's very inspiring about Dave is his consciousness. He could have had a rise and fall without his control, riding the waves just to make more money until people just didn't find him funny anymore, but him simply saying he knew things weren't right when someone laughed DIFFERENTLY? I mean... this is a man that knows his craft. And when he smells BS, he knew to walk away. Not many of us can do that, and my appreciation for him grows.

[@MissTilly6]

The incident where the person laughed differently happened on set during the racist pixies skit. Dave picked up on the nuances of that laugh and immediately recognized that it was coming from a negative place. It’s understandable and commendable that he walked away at that point.

[@Cocoy3e]

Even when Chappelle brought up Malcolm, her utterance of "Oh my dear..." was so wholesome.

[@seriouslyhatin]

The way she truly thinks before speaking respecting the power of each and every word is the most admirable trait ever.

[@EarlofSedgewick]

It's incredible how that came from such a wretched experience in her formative years. Every time I listen to her or read some of her life story I admire another facet of her.

As a little white girl raised from age 4 to 12 in the deep South and aware and confused by what I witnessed and heard, I appreciated so much what Maya Angelou says about anger. I went back to the South in 1963. At age 72 I still have deep anger which emerges when someone denies the experiences of history and herstory. This video is profound! It will benefit anyone who sees it. Lets show it in the schools of our country.

@QJAndra I've got the link now, thanks for that and the nice comment. Don't often see that on YT.

[@ignas358]

QJAndra How does one “atone” for mistakes? There is no way. Some words can never be atoned for. In fact, to believe that they can be atoned for is to belittle the power of words. Instead, one must change their thoughts. Words and actions will follow. All we can do is ask someone to change. Not to “rectify mistakes”, for no mistake can be fully rectified. We must instead think, speak and act in a manner in which to make the world in line with our new thought patterns.

[@ignas358]

QJAndra I suppose you’re right. If anything is even close to true atonement, it is the atonement of the mind.

Worth watching for so many reasons but her story about breaking up a fight between Tupac Shakur and another man on the set of Poetic Justice and going up to him and saying, “....do you know how important you are?” and reminding of what it took for him to be there and when she was done he was in tears. She tells the story with no ego. Later his mother writes Angelou a letter telling her she might have saved his life. She calls him a soul mate:) Dave is deep. He is in control.

For people in the comment section ... Katt Williams brought a story about Dave into world that says the following. That Dave had made the studio 500 million dollar with Chappelles show. To which the greedy bussiness men said that: 'he made too much for the contract to be valid'. So they offered him ten percent. To which Dave will have supposedly said: 'what do you think my fans are gonna say, when they hear that you offer me ten percent of what I made you'. They took it as a threat. And in reply they, figuratively speaking, said: you're fans will think that you're a crazy crack head by the time you get home. And before he got back home off the plane from Africa it was sold to all the bug news outlets. His buddy Neil(with whom he made the show): supposedly sold out to lie and keep quite about Dave. And the truth. Dave got publicly demonised, and even blacklisted. As Katt said: 'they decapitated the king in front of us'.

Thank you so much for your humility Dave. This is an iconic moment and your wisdom and ability to think, say No, when it counts the most, says a lot about you. Understanding that freedom cannot ever be bought, and betrayal to self is far more painful. One actually liberates oneself, when they give something up for their freedom. Exercising the right to choose, is the most liberating thing one can do, more than any sum of money. Freedom is within and self love and respect is priceless.

I couldn't get through this without crying. I had the honor of meeting her in NYC prior to her transitioning. She's regal. A master teacher. Dave is a national treasure. One of greatest voices of our generation. I'm so proud to be a Black American. We've been through and go through a lot and we're still here, thriving. Be proud. We are so much more.

One word: Wisdom!! Two words: Grandmother's Heart Three words: Power of words ... I wish more people, myself included, had the wisdom of a grandmother in their lives. RIP Dr. Angelou

42:33 The Love in Dave Chappelle eyes lets me know his respect for this moment.

This is the best video I've ever watched... Ever.

I remember when this aired on The Sundance Channel. It floored me. Greatest episode of Iconoclasts hands down. To see it again today, to hear Dr. Maya Angelou's words again, I feel it even more.
