Dave Chappelle: You never heard of Jussie Smollett? Jussie Smollet is an actor from France. And he became famous on a show called Empire. One night he was in Chicago late at night, he was the victim
[cracks up]
Dave Chappelle: He was the victim of a racist and homophobic attack. You see, Jussie Smollett is gay and he is black, not just French. Oh it's a crazy story. Apparently when he was walking down the street late at night, two white men came out of the shadows with MAGA hats on and beat him up, tied a rope around his neck and called him all kinds of niggas, put some bleach on him and ran off into the night. The shit was like international news. And everybody on Hollywood, especially on Twitter. It was all over people's Instagram and Twitte feed: Justice for Jussie! and all this shit. The whole country was up in arms. Was talking about all the time on the news. And for some reason, we African-Americans, we're like oddly quiet. We were so quiet about the shit that the gay community started accusing the African-American community of being homophobic for not supporting him What they didn't understood was that we were supporting him... with our silence. Because we understood that this nigga was clearly lying!
