Dave Chappelle is a very funny man, and we also see his intelligence in the following YouTube clip. It appears Dave Chappelle knew the absurd heights American Empire would reach. Although the skit at the end of this video was made while Bush was President, it is still relevant today under Barack Obama. Dave caused much controversy when he came out against Hollywood, and spoke of shadowy figures who control the entire industry and the content it produces. He got out. I, for one, miss him, because of skits like the one which follows. Make note that the first section of the video is an actual clip from Barack Obama's most recent State Of The Union, which is then followed by the old Chappelle Show skit.
