What's a black man without his paranoia?
Dave Chappelle was on Oprah the other day and had a rather interesting interview, to say the least. What struck me the most was his realization that - although mad funny - his material was socially irresponsible. Getting a little deeper into it, when a staffer laughed at him as opposed to with him - during a skit that involved the use of blackface - he said that shT messed him up. Pretty interesting thoughts overall. And he's still dumb funny. "Who goes from America to Africa for medical attention?" Sometimes, it takes simple sht to point out the obvious. Alas, the obvious can be painful. But with the bad comes the good. Tis life. And tis the reason I look forward to another day.

I saw the interview. Im glad he did it. He just seemed so normal. What was surprising to me, besides the childhood friend/writer who never gave him a call but gave statements to the press was the end of the show where he said he would consider frinishing the season with Comedy Central with better working conditions and if he could donate some of the money to charity (Katrina victims, his old high school back home, etc). I would think he wouldnt want to come back. I guess we'll see.
