Wow! The latest on Dave is that he's checked into a sanitarium in South Africa!!! [I wonder why not Switzerland? Is South African known for its pyschiatric knowledge?]

I have to believe the $50mil bill contract that Dave signed has to be a contributing factor to what's going on. No other Black comedian has made that kind of money. Shit, no Black Actor (denzel and will included) has made that kind of money -- essentially $25mil a year, plus the DVD revenues!!!! On three seasons of material!!!

I think white people love Dave a lot cause he says "nigger" quite a bit on his show -- and its one of the few places where 'nigger' can be hurtles at Blacks with no reprecussions or reprisals. Tartantino gave whites a chance to revel in that past practice quite a bit, but he's lost his ability to do it. Feel me on this, and here's why: everytime I get into a conversation about Chappelle's Show with someone white they have to bring up one of the skits that bandies about the word "nigger" and these white people -- all who are friends -- can't help but bring up the one skit called "the Niggars" where the white family in the 1950s has that name. White people love to quote that skit VERBATIM to me, or bring up the one about the blind black man who hates "niggurs." White people do the mock imitation of a black man doing a white cracker's voice (that in itself is funny, because it's so damn ironic!!!).

In all seriousness, Dave is a fantastic comedian become he's able to poke fun at the biggest source of misery in this country -- its race relations. The very best of comedians know that misery offers the most delictible bits of info to mined for comedic gold.


We'll see Dave again, shortly I hope. Apparently, Comedy Central has 4 or 5 episodes worth of material that could be aired as a "special." If they can't get Dave back before next Fall.
