    Simply amazing.

    I didn't think I could become any more of a fan of Dave Chappelle or think any more highly of him than I already did but here I am sitting silently in awe. The way he makes his point with personal connections and anecdotes interwoven with the deep wisdom and anger that so many have felt for so long is just incredible.

    I've often remarked to myself that I wish Bill Hicks, Lenny Bruce or George Carlin were still alive to comment on some of the events of the last few years, and I am so very thankful that Dave is here in this moment and knows when the time is right to make his voice heard.

      I don't think any black person in the US has to try very hard to find that kind of anger within them... which is pretty much the point he was and has been making. The sad thing is that so many of us have become so accustomed that it takes this type of recording of a man dying to awaken the response we're seeing.
