Dave Chappelle addresses George Floyd's death, racism, and police brutality in new Netflix special
FirstpostDave Chapelle’s new special was taken from a show at an outdoor pavilion in Yellow Springs, Ohio, with about 100 attendees on 6 June. An angry and emotional Dave Chappelle spoke on the killing of George Floyd in a surprise Netflix special, saying America was being punished for its mistreatment of black men. “I don’t mean to get heavy but we got to say something,” said Chappelle, who added that America is enduring “the wrath of God” for a string of police assaults on black men. “I can’t tell you, as a man, watching another man, go through something like that, what it makes you feel like.” Chappelle added that he has been quiet until now for a reason. They don’t need me right now.” Chappelle also explored the violent deaths of such black men as Eric Garner, Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown and Philando Castile.
