I'm still not sure what Dave's goal with this was :dahell:
Dave is getting out of touch with the fans. Don't forget this nikka been papered up since the 90s when networks were throwing checks at him, long before Chapelle Show blew up.


Now he's on his on his hippy "The people should come together, maaann" trying to unite angry broke muthafukkkas with his rich cac friends. wouldn't surprise me if they use Dave as a middle men either.

I know a ngga who fukks with Trump when I see one

I experienced this in 2016 on my groupchat. You can just spot it it’s a lot of devils advovate and ‘well what can ya do’ and ‘gotta deal with it now’

Ffwd last year my homie from college who was real quiet on the chat during our debates , he straight up said he’s switched over

So yea Dave is a trump supporter. The sides are too black and white to be on the fence

Tariffs are a left wing ideology yet you got a supposed pro black comedian essentially supporting slave labor because a right winger wanted it lol.

I'm not voting against myself. Real Progressives are against free trade and we will continue to be, capital can move freely but labor can't.

Building up American manufacturing base is a progressive idea. What Trump is doing is pure stupidity.

In the 90s? He wasn’t getting money like that, and he even got screwed over on Chappelle Show.

He was a working comedian in the 90s. He got checks for failed sitcoms and he was doing movies all before Chapelle show started in 03.

He was getting $$$

And how much do you think he actually made per gig (on average)? :jbhmm:
I don't know but he was doing tv & film before Chappelle SHow and it was with A List talent. You can't convince me Dave wasn't a millionaire before 03.


At 19, he made his film debut as "Ahchoo" in Mel Brooks' Robin Hood: Men in Tights. He also appeared on Star Search three times but lost to competing comedian Lester Barrie; Chappelle later joked about becoming more successful than Barrie. The same year, Chappelle was offered the role of Benjamin Buford "Bubba" Blue in Forrest Gump. Concerned the character was demeaning and the movie would bomb, he turned down the part.[20][21] He parodied the film in the 1997 short Bowl of Pork, where a dim-witted black man is responsible for the Rodney King beating, the LA riots and O. J. Simpson's being accused of murder.[22] Chappelle played another supporting role in an early Doug Liman film, Getting In, in 1994.[23] At age 19, he was the opening act for R&B soul singer Aretha Franklin.[24]

Chappelle attracted the attention of television network executives and developed numerous pilots but none were picked up for development into a series.[12][25] In 1995, he made a guest appearance on an episode of ABC's popular sitcom Home Improvement.

He later appeared as a stand-up insult comic who targets patrons of a nightclub in the 1996 comedy The Nutty Professor starring Eddie Murphy, one of his major comedic influences.[28] He had a minor role in 1997's Con Air.[29] At the beginning of 1998, he did a stand-up performance for HBO Comedy Half-Hour. That same year, he appeared in "Pilots and Pens Lost", an episode of The Larry Sanders Show's sixth season, in which he and the executives of the show's unnamed television network satirize the treatment that scriptwriters and show creators were subjected to, as well as the executives' knee-jerk tendencies toward racial stereotypes.[30]

He and Neal Brennan co-wrote the 1998 cult stoner film Half Baked, Chappelle's first starring role, about a group of marijuana-smoking friends trying to get their other friend out of jail. It made money at the box office and remains a classic "stoner" film, a genre that includes the Cheech & Chong films as well as more recent fare like Judd Apatow's Pineapple Express.[31][32] In December 1998, Chappelle appeared as Tom Hanks' character's friend and confidant in You've Got Mail.[33] In 1999, he appeared in the Martin Lawrence film Blue Streak.[34]

In 2000, Chappelle recorded his first hour-long HBO special, Dave Chappelle: Killin' Them Softly, in Washington, D.C. He also starred alongside Norm Macdonald in the 2000 comedy film Screwed.[35] He followed this with an appearance as "Conspiracy Brother" in the 2002 racial satire Undercover Brother.[36] During the early 2000s, Chappelle was a member of the Spitkicker artist collective, along with many hip-hop artists like De La Soul and Talib Kweli.[37]
