Dave Chapelle is now a rich piece of shit, too, but there was a point where it seemed like he understood this disparity in policing behavior. Considering this sketch was from around 2005, it’s kind of wild to see how things have only become worse and more brazen since then.

You’d be hard pressed to find a single episode of Chappelle’s Show where he doesn’t make direct or indirect reference to police brutality - back when I was young and dumb and unaware of my own privilege enough that I still thought it was a rarity and he was actually making jokes.

But despite his other recent controversies, I haven’t heard anything whatsoever to make me think he’s backpedaled on that topic. Has there been some event that I missed?
