1 2 3 four... FiiiiF

With all the talk and speculation about possible upcoming hearings, I thought of this skit today.

Looked it up on YouTube for a quick laugh ...but had never seen the full, uncensored version, just the version that aired on tv, however long ago that was.

It's a powerful statement about our fucked up, racist legal system, yet still funny as hell (as only Dave Chappelle can do):

It was shocking, in the best way. I was sad when he ended the show, but understood why.

I remember everyone found out who else at work watched the show the day after the Rick James episode first aired, lol! We couldn't stop laughing and quoting.
