He’s not wrong.
It doesn’t sound like the man’s changed at all, thank goodness.
Dave Chappelle was and is hilarious and deserves his reputation, but I feel it is a shame that he was a bit self righteous about his comedy and walked away from it. His show was hilarious, it was race aware, but it never offended anybody because he was so equal opportunity and because he was just so damn funny. Of course people loved to shout his quotes. When he was airing you heard "I'm Rick James, bitch!" everywhere. It was unavoidable. He was a cultural phenomenon.
The biggest reason it's a shame is because they replaced him with Carlos mencia and that guy should have been run through an industrial meat grinder.
That said, the Obama years were a terrible time for race relations in this country and we could have used some comics like Chappelle.
If you read interviews, part of the problem was he got REALLY burnt out on the show and the bullshit behind it. Along with that, a lot of his shows were getting ruined by people shouting Chapelle show memes at him like you said. He honestly just wanted to go back to stand-up (and honestly, he's a legend. He's one of the best stand up comedians in history) and you can't really do that if every show is getting ruined. So he just took a hiatus until the whole Chapelle show exhausted itself. Not to mention it must have been nice being out of the limelight and he probably wanted to actually raise a family without traveling all over the country. Now that his kids are grown, Chapelle show is no longer a super-meme (still hilarious, but no one is shouting it), he can go back to doing comedy.
And the thing is Dave Chapelle does not give a fuck. Like, he seriously does not care. That's one of the best things about him. This is the guy that walked away from one of the most profitable shows around because he felt like it, and these stupid cunts think writing articles about him offending trannies is going to make him change? Fucking lol. Dave Chapelle will joke about everyone and everything, he's a fucking legend. You are a no-name cunt that will only be remembered as part of a censorus, shitty movement that stifled art and culture for the better part of a decade.
I've seen this writen elsewhere about Dave's two most recent (and awesome) comedy specials. That Dave is old and out of touch.
No, you fags. Dave isn't out of touch. He knows exactly what's going on, is commenting perfectly on it, and has no fucks to give about anyone' reaction to what he says because he knows he can't be touched.
That's because these dumb faggots think they are 'on the right side of history'. They think that anything that doesn't fit with their progressive views is 'out of touch' and 'old'. Yeah, I bet the Victorians, the Religious Right and all the other censors throughout the ages thought they were on the right side of history too. Look how they turned out. Dead, burned and relegated to the dustbin. Just like you will be, because you don't understand that nothing lasts forever. Culture/Politics is always on a pendulum. I look forward to when it swings backwards, the salt will be glorious. It will be like mana from heaven.
Dave is the best, because they can only scream into the void and virtue signal, because he doesn't give a fuck and neither do the people that like him.
EDIT: I just finished watching his second recent special and at the end he discusses (in metaphor) as to why he quit Chapelle show. He doesn't say it directly, but he uses an anecdote from a book called 'Pimp'. If you want to know why he's a legend, I suggest you watch the ending bit.
It also pretty much confirms my thoughts as to why he quit in the first place.
