- 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!
- Dave Chappelle: What the fuck is your agenda, ladies? Is.. Is sexism dead? No, in fact, the opposite happened. I said it was gonna get worse, and they said I was tone deaf. But eight states, including your state, have passed the most stringent anti-abortion laws this nation has seen since Roe v. Wade. I... I told you. I told you.
- Dave Chappelle: I'm just afraid of being attacked. It happens to the best of us. Don't ever forget what happened to that French actor. You know who I'm talking about. Jussie Smollett, he's a very French... A very famous French actor.
