I saw Dave Chappelle last year and part of his stand up included this tale.

I just watched the two specials he put on netflix. Good stuff. He's still got it.

Watched the first one. Agreed. He is still funny as ever.

it was weird as fuck seeing him in SF... saw him at the masonic temple, the show was full of upper middle class white people. dave touched upon this fact by taking time to recognize the only black person he could see in the first five rows.

no joke. i was one of maybe 10 non caucasoids in an audience of about 200-300. it definitely made some people uncomfortable when he discoursed on johnson
