In what he said was an unscripted acceptance speech on Sunday night, comedian Dave Chappelle continued his recent campaign against cancel culturewhile openly defying a smoking ban and defending the right to bear arms too.
Chappelle was fêted on Sunday night in Washington, D.C., as this year's recipient of the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, a lifetime achievement award bestowed annually by the Kennedy Center. Known for his irreverent and boundary-pushing sketch comedy show and standup routines, Chappelle has never shied away from an opportunity to eviscerate political correctness for laughs. Sunday's event was no different, according to media reports.
"It's the best part of the First Amendment to me that I'm able to express myself this way and make a viable living doing it," Chappelle told NPR prior to going on stage Sunday night.

Saying that he knows comedians who are "very racist" in their jokes, Chappelle asked everyone listening to please chill.
"Don't get mad at 'em, don't hate on 'em," Chappelle said Sunday. "Man, it's not that serious. The First Amendment is first for a reason. Second Amendment is just in case the first one doesn't work out."

Truly funny man.
He seems to have had a wife named Elaine for 18 years.
On the other hand, Leonard Bernstein was married, too. With kids.

Then he continued, What I really wanted to say tonight, and Im glad to get the platform to do it: Im gay! I am gay, and I cant wait to see what this does for my career, being handled like this.
I don’t know anything about that but he is a Muslim convert.
See my #24
Another one of his jokes.
Saw him say it on Entertainment Tonight and LOL’d
His wife might have an issue with that.
Yep. That’s literally why it’s second on the list, immediately following the other natural right of Englishmen Parliament and George III tried to deny us. Could not have said it better.
Drugging and raping women over 50 years ?
Well... yeah. But the Second Amendment makes all the others possible.
I love Chappelle.
Bill Cosby wasnt a wonderful person who got slandered. HE DRUGGED AND RAPED WOMEN FOR HIS SEXUAL PLEASURE FOR 50 YEARS. He Bill Cosbyed himself. And destroyed lives.
That was a joke.
Yes, well...I didn’t have a humorectomy...
It was even funnier watching him say it...
Wow you’re THAT threatened by him? :)
What’s it got to do with his statement here
LOL
OMG!
This is not a joke.
