I read once that Chappelle pays off-duty police for security.
And I couldn’t help thinking that he’d become a character from his show: A black American who’s mind is so captured by wealth, so out of touch, that he actually pays the pigs to follow him around.
Comedy comes from being able to see the world clearly, and Dave stuck his head in a bag of money and hasn’t pulled out to look around once.

I stopped taking him seriously when his Netflix specials included: blaming the victims of Louis CK’s sexual harassment (“Why didn’t they just hang up the phone?”) and some other 13-year-old take dismissing trans people. He stopped punching up and started punching down.
I guess he briefly had a W when he said Israel was committing genocide, then walked it back and said the real problem was antisemitism. What a coward.
