![WILLOW SMITH TALKS NOT WANTING TO BE FAMOUS IN ‘RED TABLE TALK’ [VIDEO]](http://www.blackcelebkids.com/wp-content/plugins/featured-post-with-thumbnail/scripts/timthumb.php?src=http://www.blackcelebkids.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/smiths1.jpg&h=45&w=45&zc=1)
Chapelle may have a wife of a different race but he is no sellout. Unlike David Allen Grier.
I have to says something about David Allen. I didn’t think of him as a sell out until now. I have to say he has really loss my respect as a black artist. Not because he married outside if his race, but because he is about to have a show come out called Chocolate News that is going to portray black people in such a way that Chapple refused $50 million dollars to do. Try as we might to get pulled out of the shucking and jiving role with the white face and yesah massa image we go and have a sad excuse for a man sell his dignity for money. The man is 53 years old and he is just a bad as flava flav. Just because you grow older it doesn’t mean you grow wiser. If you stand for nothing you will fall for anything.
I think what makes me angriest is the fact that the show is due out right before something very monumental is about to happen for our people.Everytime we try to get out they keep trying to pull us back in. Because Barack has changed the perception of black men this show sadly will have an audience because it will have a lot of people who need to see us this way so they are not taken out of their comfort zone. Shame on you David.

I agree. “chocolate news” is a disgrace to all the hard work black Americans put in to their nation. The excuse of being able to laugh at something is beyond ridiculous. It’s one thing to laugh, then another to make a show and repeatedly embarrass yourself along with other black Americans. And when we go for interviews or apply to schools, people like GAG make it easier for white people to doubt us as a people.

maryamb i have to agree with you. when i saw the previews for the show i thought this is worse than the chapelle show. i mean at least the chapelle show was funny and in the end dave walked away. now comedy central is just giving david the money to do what they want to put on tv. its really a shame. he is too old for this bafoonery. like chris rock said in order for barak to get in we have to kill flavor flav and i dont mean the man i mean what he represents
daves family looks nice and simple those are the best.

I’ve been wanting to see a picture of Dave’s family for so long. What a beautiful family they are.

The wife is short. She is pretty and cute kids.

Wow I had no idea his wife was Asianl. The kids are beautiful and it’s nice that he married the mother of his children. I think black people are definitely progressing.

Wow.. Jessica. African American people always PROGRESS. Not feeling that little comment.
Beautiful family!!

Well let me rephrase I think black people are progessing more rapidly than before. But I’m going to go in my bed and cry that you’re not feeling my “little” comment.

Juat be quiet Jessica. Your intellect is showing…or lack thereof. Why didn’t you say the Asian woman married her babie’s daddy?

There was no need for you to rephrase anything. You’ve made yourself perfectly CLEAR. Love the sarcasm though. Sorry I made you cry. As stated in my previous comment, “African American people are always and have always been progressing.”

D.W. you can’t even spell so we know who the intellect is.
Most Asian people marry their mothers/fathers of their children. That’s statistics, go look it up.
My Myself and I there is no need to get an attitude, I’m black and I love my people. Black people are considered to be beneath white and Asian people and I think that is changing. You are acting like I hate black people or something.

No Black people have always been a macnificient people who have been lied upon for years.Whites have stolen alot of our history and told alot of falsehoods and lies.Black people created every racial group on the planet.If you don’t believe me study to find yourself approval.The truth is finally making manifest.Praise God!

DAVE CHAPPELLE WAS BORN IN 1973 HOW IN THE WORLD IS HE “53″ YEARS OLD. GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT PLEASE
Flag this
Sandra my dear I believe it is you how didn’t understand what I wrote. I didn’t say Dave Chappelle was 53. I was refering to David Allen Grier. So I hope the pleases you. My facts are indeed correct.
Also I mentioned DAG because he and DC are both black comedians and the have things in common like having Asian wives and now DAG is about to have a show on Comedy Central that will be the kind of show that Dave Chappelle walked away from 50 Million to do because he didn’t want to degrade himself or his race.

They do look so happy together! That alone warms my heart.

i think that people in general are to wrapped up in the race game, he loves her and she loves him,she just happened to be asian and he’s black so what, this is america and we got troops overseas fighting so that you and i can love,date,and marry who we want “ya feel me”!!!!!!!!

You can never think of Dave as a Sellout. He didnt humilate Black People. He Humiliated all people with his brilliant comedy. Another reason I wont call him a sell out is because if he wound have took that 50 Million dollars he would have lost complete control over his show and would have really humiliated black people….He would have been a slave of comedy central.

He’s a damn good man period… you can’t buy or fake integrity like that.
