    Unfortunately, Dave became just another rich bitch, but, he still says some prophetic shit like, “His whole business model is fuck earth, I’m leaving anyways” or, "do you hear that sound Elon? That’s the sound of pending civil unrest "

    This was December 22 I think

            Yikes. From what I understand though, he grew up upper middle class. He said we always assumed that he grew up as a commoner, but that it wasn’t true.

            David Khari Webber Chappelle was born on August 24, 1973, in Washington, D.C.[11] His father, William David Chappelle III, was a professor of vocal performance and the dean of students at Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio.[12] His mother, Yvonne Seon (née Reed, formerly Chappelle),[13] worked for Congolese Prime Minister Patrice Lumumba,[14] is a Unitarian Universalist minister,[15] and worked as a professor and university administrator at several institutions including Wright State University and Prince George’s Community College.[16] Chappelle has a stepmother and a stepbrother.[3]

              All true.

              But he was and is the kind of guy makes you believe that he actually see the circumstances people are going through and even emphasized with it. He was a hero for turning down big money for his pride and integrity. He disappeared for a while and came back with sensible lessons from africa, even fought for and got the money he deserved for his work.

              Then started the rich bitch behavior that culminated to bringing a dickwad like Elon on stage.

              He went to a HS in Georgetown - it’s a public school but it’s a super rich area so he probably grew up with mostly upper middle class white kids. I mean it’s called “Duke Ellington School of the Arts” so you’d think it’s in a black neighborhood but its actually deep in Georgetown where you don’t see any (other) black people at all.
