comedyhype.com/ - You may have heard Dave Chappelle mention his great-grandfather in several of his performances but what is really known about Bishop William D. Chappelle? For an episode of 'A Story You Should Know', we dive into the rich history of the Chappelle family tree. Instagram: @ComedyHype & Twitter: @ComedyHype_ Written by @Mr.dominicsmith Beat by Yondo. Voiced by Zooman Miller.
Wonder if Dave Chappel has considered donating a portion of his salary to his Grandfather’s truly historically black institution (Allen University).
Things come back...especially walking in honor
I think the correct term is born into SLAVERY!!!!! Our ancestors were NEVER SLAVES... they were ENSLAVED!!! It’s sad how these terms always upsets me.. it’s like black ppl were slaves?? NO we were FREE humans that Europeans took the audacity to steal us and turned us in hired hands that we NEVER got a dollar!!!!!
Almost as good as the first person who said, "yes we can/si se puede". Decades before 2008 !!
Amazing, thank you
HI
they should have brought chapelle in red dead redemption
Freemasons aren’t racist it seems. Hidden hand.
Dave Chappelle, being a victim is in his blood. Both parents were educated and making good money giving him a soft life...becomes famous, is paid $50,000,000.00 a YEAR to do a show...walks away because he was "tired of working for the man" and still to do this acts like black people are oppressed in America as he lives in a small white farming town and is best friends with the police and mayor. And its Kanye that is the crazy one for saying black people are choosing to be slaves? lol...
That is why education is important and having educated parents most of the times will lead to the bright future of yourself and your siblings and the next generations of your family line and why America and Canada, the most wealthiest nations in the world do not have free higher education for their poor people's children and instead go to other countries to search for educated workers and doctors and leave their children killing themselves for drugs money and lock them up instead of training them and give them the necessary skills for workforce.
Beautiful inspiring story and legacy. Thanks for the video.
I cannot listen to the repetitive background music anymore.
But why did he grew up poor in DC when his family line had all those achievements?
HAHAHAHAHAAH WHO CARES ABOUT HIS STUPID SLAVERY HISTORY OR ANY OTHER ?
Big pi it took one generation to turn rel men into puppet show fools willy curse worked
Obviously he comes from money
Naw he ugly on da inside and fugly on the outside. Candace Owen's rulez!!!
And you think you got it rough? Look what these people did despite their origins and obstacles.The Man chopped wood AT NIGHT so he could buy a BOOK!!!!
I want to know more about his Mother and her legacy.
How to get famous... have a famous grandson talk about you eventually
Wow, Woodrow Wilson.Talking about going into the belly of the beast. If someone made a video game about blacks fighting for rights through history, Woodrow Wilson would be one of the worst boss battles.
What a great great men.
Takes the wise man to act the fool Dave ain't no fool!!
But the man is sooo humble an powerful! I am in love with his mind!
What a legacy!!
Good lineage
His G-pa... Looks like Judge Matius in the face....
All that Black success and Dave will leave his wealth and legacy to an Asian woman. Let that sink in.
We should all follow his example. The greater we are, the harder it is for bigots to deny.
May Allah bless and protect the family of this wonderful soul. Allahuma amin. We admire you sir.
And...and...and...Dave embraced Islam!
Facts💯💯💯
cheppelle brood definatly has the maxi to succeed.
wilson was a whitesupremist you know that right ?
Thats why his materials are brilliant.
this is not the story you should know about black ppl in America. And you wonder why ppl fail at fighting racism. The ppl fighting racism can tell you these stories but they aint gonna help.
Hey I thought you said he was in the Tuskegee experiments?!
Wow, the odds as a black man at that time!!. The Chappelle family: respect all the way around.
This is fucking amazing...
Imagine saying a place is designed to keep the black man down.. while also electing a black man into the HIGHEST seat in that land Irony? Or maybe the system isn’t designed like that 🤣
Damn Dave 🙏🏽. He has an amazing family but Dave has been amazing as soon as his feet touch ground/ it is, all in the family.
So Dave is pretty much using a combination of his talents and intelligence to continue his family's legacy in the biggest format available in his lifetime? I respect that a lot.
Not pointing out education is okay but Dave chappelle the Comic only graduated High school not further then that, but the knowledge which he gained doing what loved is envious. That's what America should be known for excercising the 14th Amendment, Freedom of speak and the extinction of racism. That's what Makes America Great Again. Built by the blacks and immigrants, owned by the Chinese Corporates.
Literally a GREAT Grand father 👍😎👍
Wow this is interesting
Beautiful piece
Fantastic! Thanks for sharing this story. This merely adds more substance to Dave Chappells' intuitive comedic material!
Educated person knows the sky of above knowledge and secrets.... Only for those who are thinking smartly..
I feel proud hearing about dave roots! ✊🏾👑
Respect Dave Chappelle
Ancestors always watching!!
I still still cant get over this new body Dave has since he came back from Africa..strange!
Hand in the coat ..im getting freemasonry vibes
So you're saying, as long as your name is David chappelle, you're going to be awesome? Ok I'm naming my next baby David chappelle!
Nice information
Great black ⚫ history moment 👏 👌 🙌
An outstanding gentleman raised by pioneering role models, his parents. Im from South Africa and you are my role model
I'm surprised Woodrow Wilson gave them an audience
G.O.A.T. cuz clearly it's in his genes!!
It's always a good thing to know where you come from. Great Grandfather was from Winnsboro SC like so many other artist.
wow...!!!!!
I like David Chappelle! This is a serious Black History information that needs to be known!!!
WOAW!!!!!!!!!
Thank you ..Dave Chappell your grand father did a lot for blk people in America..thank you..🗽😍😍
Great story!
Salaam um alekhum Dave Chapelle
Dave Chappelle is a very intelligent man he comes from a long line of intelligent men and women. Meeting with the president back in that day and time as a black man wow you had to be awful bold and determined knowing the possible consequences great story
Woodrow Wilson was quoted as agreeing with the portrayal of blacks in D.W. Griffith's Birth Of A Nation (1915) so I strongly doubt he gave a damn about helping to alleviate the racial tensions.
I got accomplishments intelligence and perseverance running all through me - David Chappelle.👌🏾✊🏾 I come by it easily! ❤️🖤💚
Enjoy finding out about our history , thank you ♥️
Excellent video!! My Mother graduated from Allen University and my Maternal Grandmother!
Love you Dave be proud...stand tall..
Yo I would love to see this Biopic
Don't like Dave anymore after he verbally asulted a beautiful black woman named Candace Owens. His grandfather would be ashamed of him for that. Candace's fights for truth and rights for black community's
Bill's. Wonderful! I stress education too. I appreciate that Dave has a rich history of his family. It was a hurting thing learning that my great great grandmother was sold 8 times but I was blessed to find her through a matriarch lineage. I encourage people to always find out who their elders were to know as much as you can....
dave chappelle has written material that very closely resemble elements of my personal life. i might talk to an attorney about the ways he demonized my character.
See why it’s important to know your history. Not the generalized slavery crap we all learn in school that didn’t go into who were these people BEFORE they were taken slaves. Know your own ancestral history and you’ll be surprised what positive things you’ll find out about a black relative that was more than just a slave or a slave set free end of story. It helps slot ones sense of pride, respect, duty and do in once you know how hard your ancestors worked and what they sacrificed. You might make better choices, try that much more harder instead of thinking, this just how it is. We’re we’re slaves once and lucky to be set free so be happy with whatever you got. It’s different when you have this kind of knowledge about your kin. If they had tough times, you want to be the one to break the cycle and do better. If you have kin that ended up successful like Chapelle’s kin, it gives you strength to keep up the fight when all seems lost like I know he must have felt after his ordeal in Hollywood and departure. Now look at him, came back, still working, loved just the same BUT that much more respected because he turned it all away because it meant if he hadn’t he would lose himself and his blood is too strong to be diluted by fame and the greed of Hollywood and ruined because of how quick they turn their back on you and trash your reputation when you don’t entertain them and bring them in money. Good for David and nice to know about his ancestors. He’s a great man obviously coming from a great family!
Thank you for saying “Granduncle”.
My new hero! Can you see it? Parents at home, love, ethical values and academic demands. That's all. It`s CULTURAL!
Ths is why Dave reads ppl well as they try to underestimate his intelligence
What an amazing story this is the thangs that should be taught in an equal history program
I'm sorry but high cheek bones didn't come frm Africa thy look different 🤷🏿🚫🧢
They should pills monologue on SNL was nothing short of legendary
Did he really say he is not one of the greatest comedians of our time?
greatness all the way 🤎✨🙌🏾
Proud to be black
This proud black man built something from nothing... that why the racist is afraid of us we can achieve greatness despite discrimination and slavery we have the willpower to rise above it all.
Education brings you out of poverty and for future generations to reap the rewards.
note how SOON after being freed, BLACKS were quickly rising! AND making money,..... So what happened? THE KLAN AND ITS EFFORTS SUPPORTED BY COPS in the 20s...AND THATS ALL SHE WROTE!!!! TILL THIS DAY... the cops, AND its union, AND courts support the idea of attaching blacks. HOUSING, EDUCATION, AND HIRING...still a problem.
great channel, very good content
I have a question for intelligent minded folks. Conversation comes up alot about black people like David who has such a great blood line, does anyone think black men/women discredits their blood line when they married outside the black race. This subject is a heavy conversation especially when a African marry caucasian men or women. Keeping it 💯 an thank you in advance for your response.. ☮️ 💕 an B1ALWAYS.
This is wonderful. Great Black History
Walk 16 miles on a Sunday, isn't that like a 2.5hr+ walk? That's dedication and determination 👏🏼💪🏽
I'm just saying Dave should go back there and buy that farm
President Woodrow Wilson was a kkk member, he held dinner and parties for white Supremacists, he screened white Supremacists and Confederate movies. He gave money to white Supremacists to continue their terror. He is a horrible man.
If David had followed the family legacy.... he would be so much farther ahead in life, success, wealth, Contribution... and most important... on life path with God. Entertainment world , the dues you pay to become famous is your soul to those who controlled it. WEINSTEIN - IS YET JUST ONE PREDATOR LOW ON THE CHAIN OF EVIL... MANY FAMOUS GAVE THEIR INNOCENT CHILDREN TO EVIL. MONEY OVER FAMILY AND THEIR SOULS.
"he walked 16-miles to church" ... that's about four hours one-way. Very unlikely. These stories are symbolic and apocryphal, not meant to be taken literally.
This story makes me so proud of the forefathers (and mothers:) who fought for Freedom and Justice. ✊🏾 We aren’t done fighting yet!
How proud he must be to have such a great legacy.
Too bad he cut that bloodline by not marrying blk.
