Here’s an amazing story told by Kenny DeForest on his Twitter feed. He discusses a night when Chappelle came into Comedy at the Knit. Everybody knows Dave’s a comedic genius, but not everyone pays attention to how smart and knowledgeable he really is. He knows history. He knows people. Read the following and then do something amazing with it. Share it with a friend who needs to be made aware of these things. Share it with the world. Take it with you and live through it. Be mindful. Be present. Be empathetic and understanding. Be courageous and outspoken when it matters.
Read the exchange that occurs and how Dave Chappelle is a huge part of the entire solution. He wasn’t angry. He wasn’t rude and disgusted. He shared some truths that were actually received by someone who needed to hear them. Uh-may-zing!
