Walk Away From Money - Dave Chappelle 

you drew him exactly as you thought was good ;-)

And I'm one of the funniest RU-vidr Server Gaga Gaga Gaga Gaga gaga

He was recognizable even in the silouhette. Great job man.

@@vincer7824 haha thank you kind sir!

I'm from south Africa 😂

So true !

Love it

Ya know, it's an ok quote but I've heard it so many times that I just cringe when I read it.

@@weirdskyreallyweird.5519 who cares? It's new for somebody.

That is stellar. Great TRUE statement that just makes you think and laugh.

I think you desperately need to read the works of true philosophers. You really should.

AC And I think you desperately need to look up the definition of philosopher. You really should.

Philosopher? Philosopher?! PHI-FUCKING-LOSOPHER!?!?

Yeeesss. Spot on!

And he is 100%CORRECT

I believe the absolute truth and absolute standard of good is Jesus Christ

@@zadkovichraj3246 Yuuuuuuuuuuuupppp

@@zadkovichraj3246 gz, your in the maze

Yet hes an a+ ahole

Yeah, she’s a sellout who fakes as a good person. Lol. She also tries to tel people that you don’t have to/ or need to follow Christ. Rather u believe in God or not, I loose all respect for a person who tries to discredit the entire believe system of a religion by making claims that insult the entire faith of all of its believers. She’s a jack@ss. Even Stedman knew it. 😂

@@jdf319 You do not know Stedman. If you knew God, you would not be putting anyone else down or using profanity.

@@jdf319 I can't stand her for mainly being a sell out and a very phony person. I still don't get why some people look at her crappy tv shows or buys her magazines that must feature her ugly face on every cover. How narcissistic is that? Ughh..

Dizzle J when did Oprah said that?

This is the Oprah that joined the me too movement.....but loved Harvey Weinstein. Plenty of photos of her canoodling up to him. And rumours and stories of him were very well known for decades. Not like she didn't know. Gotta do what ya gotta do to get ahead if your in Hollywood.

I love this! 💚

Wise man.

Exactly

My problem is they use my tax money for financing their failure.

Took me a long time to realize that my grandpa was a nazi 🤣

dont overburden yourself, your grandfather's choice of life shouldnt bothering you, he lived times where what he was committing was seen as "alright", just be better than him

*any caucasian in america*

@@carrotbear You are dead wrong and very uneducated to make such a statement. All german right here and my relatives came over right before ww2 and took no place in owning slaves or killing native americans. State I live in helped free slaves in fact.

Stay blessed love💚

You cant just listen to something and learn? Sorry to hear that.

ADHD as well mad props to you!🤗🧡

ADHD can be cured with mediation lol its just another "label". the VERY profitable Healthcare industry has just found a better way to profit from it by implementing the placebo effect. Its really unhealthy to define yourself by these titles "ADHD-er" and allowing these thoughts to linger in your mind... it will also cause you to stop thinking for yourself.. along with everything eles in society.

@@cyberjay9146 I won't try to have a debate about it via a comment section, but I simply want to urge you to be very careful with your sources of information. I do not doubt that the "government", and all that that entails, has a lot of bad influence over society; fueled entirely by greed. But I think there's a big risk of losing nuance, empathy, humanity, when assuming that IF, hypothetically, there is an exaggeration about the effectiveness of ADHD medication automatically means that ADHD itself isn't as severe of problem. Again, I don't have any interest in having a debate about it, but I simply want to advocate for finding a balance, a gray zone, in scepticism.

That Accurately describes my gripes with our current political system. People vote in the folks who are better then the other terrible opponent instead of the person that's truly good.

sam petty well when those are your only options, what else do you do?

We are actualy only given false choices.

Especially with the media. They are a big part of this problem.

From absolute to relative

Right spot fucking on

Yesssss

I still don't really get what that was though. He started a show that used racial humor, and then he got mad that white people were laughing at his racial jokes? That's the only explanation I've heard him give.

@@jhonnyappleseed1786 he could sense they were not on his side, they were laughing at him and writing more scenes to make him the fool.

yep

I don't think anyone fails to realise what a great teacher he is.

Nigga u.everywhere

I've seen you around

Maybe this should be titled "walk into Character".....

@@everythingthatswithinflows1655 your name contradicts your attitude. just saying. edit: it was 'Mr. Happy'

It's all in the eyes of thebeholder

Great description!

he uses his comedy to open the eyes of the people on the current issues that many are not ready to discuss in the open..

He and George Carlin are 2 guys I listen to for more than just laughs. I take their words very seriously.

If Dave was really serious he would explain that South Africa is not free, there is a genocide going on there, BEE means that whites are by law second class citizens, and Americans shouldn't spend their money in SA or work for companies that do.

💯💯💯💯💯

I was scrolling to the comments to see if I could find some more clarity on his analogy and this was it. Great explanation!

Respect

Dude I'm in this situation now, I work in IT and the money is great . . . But if I can be honest. I hate it, I find myself fantasizing about taking a more labor focused job where I'm not sitting on my ass constantly worried about my next meeting. I just turned 30 and me and my wife want to start a family. I am always worried that if I do leave that it might be a huge mistake. However, I worry that if I do stay that it will lead me down a darker path.

Good for you. You have to do what you have a Passion for. If you aren't sure what that is keep searching until you find it .

Christian Clasper You don’t wanna start a family while you’re in a job you hate because you’ll be stuck in that job. I was in a similar situation. I almost settled down in a hospitality company; nearly bought a house a few blocks away. Then I realized that was not the move! I quit and started teaching high school. I’m living in a different state. But I’m happier and my relationship is stronger.

@@christianclasper5828 the trick to surviving in the tech industry, is not giving a fuck. i learned that many years ago, when i was just starting. you do your job to the best of your ability, you bring up any potential issues you see with what the suits are proposing....and then to hell with it. if that's how the company wants to burn away its money, that's on them.

@@hestrada8910 Yeah, 50 million and a loss of dignity. Those companies wanted him to sell out but he refused so they tried to blackball him. So yeah, I'd say he played the long game. He got more money and was able to retain his dignity. Props to Dave.

@@hestrada8910 Yeah, any normal person could turn down 50 mill without a nervous breakdown. Stop knocking Dave when he ultimately did what was right for his conscience. I'm sure he knew he'd get another offer down the road but it would be a mystery amount.

but netflix is owned by illuminati too lmao. jokes on u

@@rougekronoz2118 what dignity, Netflix is also owned by illuminati lmao

@@JasonChowTV Sorry, I don't speak conspiracy theory 🙄

Can anyone afford bill gates?

It's because he was high all the time. Addicts only need enough money for their drugs.

That integrity is a powerful testament to the kind of man he is.

He said in the video he made a $60 million "deal". The Deal is how he was bought.

@@ZAGGNUT1 Ask me this next payday and I might have an answer for you.

And sketch comedy, not just standup.

Yes

if you like Carlin check out Dick Gregory

One thing Carlin never did? Punch down. Chappelle is brilliant here but that Chinese voice he did in his last special was really bad. Same with his comedy on trans people. Punch up bro! Hit the people in power not the minorities. Carlin understood that.

Dave Chappel... is the black Dave Chappel. He's in the same tier of incredibly talented comedians as George Carlin. We're lucky to live in this age of story tellers.

Jam a1ca Good stuff.

@@trials6502 thank you

money comes and goes, but not that much. I don't fault a poor person for doing whatever it takes to obtain big money, as long as it doesn't hurt anybody else

If you don't abide to your principles, then they aren't your principles anymore. So, principles change alright!

It's easier following your principles if you already have the money to do so.

And this Skin color most others refers to us as Boons or Poopskin

Exactly.your money will never love you like your family will,money can't buy true love like that.

@DJ Surferdude did you get that money yet and find happiness?

Are those fake hands or his real hands with bad camera angles ?

Yo man shit had me legitimately scared oh my god 😂

😬😵

With knowledge you can think of many ways to acquire currency, but you can't buy knowledge

I recently hear it put this way : Life is always challenging you. Life is always presenting you opportunities to show your sense of integrity. So, I think following your gut, true calling, ect is how you break free of the maze as Dave described. And how you find who you really are, and that your true worth is far beyond money.

@@evonne315 many peoples sense of integrity and assumed calling is to make money, so I think rather theres a deeper wisdom whereby a person recognizes that their calling, along with everyone else's, must be higher than simply the acquisition of money alone.

Wisdom is only better when you're already a millionaire.

If you have enough wisdom over time the gold will come. Sometimes sooner , sometimes later. Just emphasize on wisdom. Eventually you will get what you deserve.

Yes, he is wise, AND he's still rich too. 😊

Easy to say when you have money...

still difficult to say No to 50M.... just saying. lol... I'm sure there was more to this that lead him to say No though. in the end, he said no to stay true to himself. money no money, that's admirable.

Well Esau/Edom is Screwed then.!!.........

That's part of the moral but that's not the whole thing. It's way deeper than the money.

@Milesgatman i think you confused yourself. I said all money aint good money..now you just sad that bad money at a bad time is bad money, and also saying what you do to get it or how you use it can be good or bad..so you're kinda supporting what I just said dude. Some money is good money, but people have the mindset that all money, every cent they get is good, when the intentions behind some are bad.

@@joseph_the_human truth! Money is the surface of it...

Ronda Jin True, he seems like the type of person, regardless of if he made the best decisions with the money he could’ve gotten at that time, it would’ve bothered him at his core knowing where the money came from/why he received it. He had/still has a moral responsibility to while making people laugh, to also make people aware of what’s going on in the world. I’m sure his time on the Chappelle Show and Comedy Central isn’t something that he wants to keep focusing on, its in the past, but he wants to keep looking forward.

@@Akuma07 definitely true! But man his show was the BEST tho!!

Quoting something someone said in the video sure is funny huh? Hahahahahh, you're hiladious man, you have me on the ground rolling

Chris Sanderson I fell out at that part

@@penguinjesus8394 It is funny to me actually because it portrays how mainstream news covers topics nowadays lol

Doesn’t make you happy, it could buy you shit that’s about it pay rent but are you free??

@@Copy676 u figure shit out.. gotta pay the rent mane. Gotta take care ur fam. Thats numher 1. U figure shit out how to be "free" in the process

That quote existed before Dave Chappelle came along, but it is a good quote.

Joker then it’s timeless

You lost your job because the government played their agenda card to control everybody.

Can you please specify for what messages of his is he being cancelled about?

@@kanishkakumar42 his message about being able to take a joke, that everyone is equal and comedy as a form of free speech, will not bend to the will of a single group. Especially not a small and vocal group that doesn't represent the community as a whole.

Brilliant too.

... but that's every era..

Only if the young generation start listening and doing things differently

Pull the wires from your teeth Your fingers from the keys Your spine from the stream of cable And your eyes from the screen. You separate your self from the screen, and I promise you will gain power, wisdom and insight that will blow your fucking mind It won't be easy for you, or quick.Honestly you don't have will or drive to stick it out. Dont stress, we've got an amazing system of comfort and excuses that is pretty good gains for the investment. No one will ever fault you for taking the 15 million. Go watch your tv now

If you think the future is bright just remember that light at the end of the tunnel is most likely a train.

It’s crazy that knowledge and doing the right thing could pay off later for the next our generation..doing the right is really for some people, it sucks.

Kagemusha08 Wish you nothing but happiness and success in your immediate future.!

It's influenced my decision-making for a while. I decided to be at peace with it. I know I'm working hard on improving my attitude and go-get-it-ness, and beating myself up will only make me too tired to do what I need to do. I let myself fuck up little stuff. Pay a bill a few days late. Not get gas and have to stop by the expensive gas station. Rent a movie once in a while. I don't die. I just save up a little slower. So fuck it.

You made the right choice! Pray the best happens for you and you achieve what you are setting out to. I am also on the same boat. We got this :)

@@MustafaMustafa-uy6cr that could be a stretch. Take what you will from the video but that doesn't mean there aren't terrible terrible ideas out there. To tell this dude he made the right decision when you dont even know what that decision was is a little crazy. Maybe he quit his job to start a cult, maybe he wants to start a dog fighting ring, maybe hes joining scientology (wait that goes with my cult example) you get my point.

@@ispartacus1337 I completely understand your perspective. However sometimes its best to expect good from individuals instead of just assuming otherwise. While also expecting/wishing good for others. You could be right or not.

They aren’t even thought of as real concepts anymore in this relativist society

@@dr.boinkersbookkeeping9028 nope he did walk away but then eventually he gave in and became a sell out. Trust me no one gives 50 mill or 60 mill without some unwanted conditions that come with it.

We got the illuminati in USA...

kilamanjaro Mountain Its a heat reference my man thats the punchline

Maybe it was the heat on him for speaking out against the machine. Remember "whats going on in Hollywood"?

Because you can't say "No" to a rich offer and live adamantly...that's an insult to the filthy rich because they think they can buy everyone

SA is Africa light, kinda different to most African countries

Trapped in a maze

@Dick Riley I agree as long as we elect the rich as presidents our best interest will not be considered

@Dick Riley I have always viewed it the same way... Regardless of party, it's just two sides of the same coin. They play us, and we're just along for the ride. I'm surprised by the effort they put forward for the act.

@@itskarl79 I don't feel they really put up as good an act they don't really make as many promises now its more of shit talking about the other guy

@@sapper72783 Great point, American politics/elected representatives are immature and very wasteful of our time and especially resources. I hate complaining without presenting ideas to fix it, but it's worse to stand by and not speak up. The structuring has too many officials attempting to act with individual purposes, they've lost sight of what it means to find solutions and work together. On the other hand, sometimes their progress isn't good at all. Most days, I just change my focus to smaller pictures items.

you're welcome!

Kevin Hart is actually the most famous comedian now.

@@josedirks3973 No, Kevin is just the most successful comedian right now...but Dave has definitely made more of a cultural impact. Big difference.

*Of his time* - who else?

most famous? I think US comedians more or less are all known to your own society... Pretty sure that Mr.Bean and Borat character is globally more known that chappelle.... Or you actually think anyone knows who chappelle is in East? Lol... Im not saying his not in US... probably on the same level impact on culture... like Mr.Bean in Europe... how significant their contribution to comedy was... makes me think that benny hill show the guy is pretty known too haha... >: brits have so weird humour... i like those chapelle sketches tho :D pretty funny stuff... i think u would love a estonian jewish comedian who is dead now, but Eino Baskin ... dude could make so killer jokes about soviet union its ridicilous ;> i dont think there's translated stuff of his anywhere tho ; ) not sure

Except the latest version of the maze has no cheese.

Heph333 You sound like one of the ppl who has realized that you’re in a maze. Unfortunately, there are still MANY ppl - ppl who subscribe to the idea of better vs. worse - who believe that even the current iteration of the maze does in fact have cheese (and as Dave said, these ppl are very easy to control). But to ppl like you whose ethics are intact & who view things through the lens of good vs. bad, you correctly see that in fact there is no cheese.

It does. Just from a mainstream perspective it's non-existent. Gotta go outside the norm for music to find actual music and integrity. Artists seem to lose it after a certain dollar amount.. or, after a certain dollar amount, they are no longer ALLOWED to have their own voice, b/c it's too powerful and could sway the youth. TBH, It's the same with comedians. Which is why I love D.C. Real fuckin integrity. Dude is my hero.

Prince 🟣🟣🟣

They are usually controlled by labels. Most of them sign contracts without knowing what a contract is, unfortunately. Nicki Minaj walked away from her first label meeting. They were going to give her a bit of money (which for a new artist it might be a lot) and she had the confidence to walk away. Later on, she got a deal with Lil Wayne. ✨ she is one in a million true but it’s hard out there for new artists. They are easy to trick. Competition and capitalism make the system like this.

@@AfterSkool A lot of people don't :D Did you not hear the outrage after sticks and stones?

@@hkr667 I think that outrage was from critics who were trying to protect their jobs. I saw the reviews for sticks and stones. There was a massive discrepancy between the audience score and the critic's score. In the end, the outrage actually made people like Dave more.

@@AfterSkool That's true, i hadn't thought about that before. Love your work, stay true to yourself

WolfWould Do you mean «when I listened to JRE»?

@@OslKie No. I actually said that in 2011, I just never forget it because it really sums up comedians.

That’s very inspiring, just not true. Chasing the dream does have immense value in itself though. Many amazing people have pursued their dreams and never became rich or even got a modest wage for their passions, their lives were still very valuable and rich. They may have even embraced and fulfilled their calling or ultimate purpose. The question is: If the money doesn’t chase you while you chase the dream, is it still worth chasing?

The money may never come but you will be happy with what you are doing. More importantly if you do what is right it helps other regardless of if you are happy.

Mark Proffitt Yep. Not violating your conscience also makes being happy much more likely. Not being able to provide for you or your families needs also makes being happy much more difficult. All about balance.

You are proposing an indirect way of chasing money.

Modern Savage25 Troll Alert!! Lol.

Modern Savage25 oh ok. I wasn't sure. Just seemed like an extreme comment on one of his profound clips....but to each their own. Who do you think is a better or more intelligent comedian?

@Modern Savage25 Look, even if Dave is not that intellegent, we have to admit he's a goat at delievring a message that is true and deep. Wisdom as they say is easy, sticking to it is hard. Dave is a model not just a talker and that's why he's the best. How many people will tell you money isn't a big deal when that's all they're chasing. Being a talker is again easy, being a model however is where real men are revealed

Jasmine Sanders - pretty lady

Since we are talking about a a crisis of conscience, the truth of the matter is that mandela was a terrorist who bombed civilians both black and white in broad daylight. I think Chappeles introspection vacation could have been spent on a better place and subject then South Africa. In fact South Africa isnt free like Dave said, there is a genocide going on there, BEE means that whites are by law second class citizens, non-white minorities are discriminated against and even the average black bantu african is worse off now than under apartheid. Sidelining the most productive part of the economy to make a tiny clique of non-native dark-skinned people rich has had disastrous effects.
