  2. Dave Chappelle's primary reason for leaving the Chappelle's Show at the time, if you paid attention to what the man said at the time, was that he had just gotten this unprecedented deal for just one more season of the show for $50 MILLION DOLLARS. HOWEVER, this was all compounded by exhaustion with him working reportedly like 20 hours a day during production, but that wasn't the issue, what the issue was is that during production of all these legendary skits where he as a black man is frequently utilizing his race and the race of others as like cruxes of his jokes, that a vast majority of the people on set watching were white faces predominately, and towards the end he didn't feel like he was being laughed "With" so much as he was being laughed "At". Also, going back to the $50 million thing, with it being a historical deal for a comedian on TV -- he interpreted that at the time as him selling out to the white man. And he was. They were gonna force him to do all kinds of embarrassing shit because they would keep going back to that like "We paid you an unbelievable amount of money for this! We own you now, don't you know?" So he ran. It had nothing to do with them asking for him to tone the show down or to be more commercially viable for advertisers with more friendly and less provocative content, no, he was literally worried that he was actually backtracking from the legacy of his great grandfather who WAS A SLAVE by entering himself into a brand new form of "successful slavery". If that makes sense. He made the right call to leave.
