"How? You are my grandson. How can I not listen to you and be elevated by you?" When we hear leaders giving hate speech when the young are calling for unity and accountablity we know how far we have strayed from humanity. This is a beautiful interview. This is how the world should be.
"Sometimes an Iconic figure began as pop-culture figure."-Dr. Maya Angelou Dave Chappelle praises Dr. Maya Angelou for being a national treasure and ends up becoming one himself. -Real recognizes Real
"I'm an American and most of the time proud of it. Even when I am displeased with what my country is doing I am still an American who is displeased. Fortunately being an American I don't have to whimper I don't have to whine I have the right to protest" - Maya Anjelou
"Bitterness,is like cancer,it eats upon the host, it doesn't do anything to the object of its displeasure," Maya Angelou.This was the best 47 mins i have used watching a clip.
As a little white girl raised from age 4 to 12 in the deep South and aware and confused by what I witnessed and heard, I appreciated so much what Maya Angelou says about anger. I went back to the South in 1963. At age 72 I still have deep anger which emerges when someone denies the experiences of history and herstory. This video is profound! It will benefit anyone who sees it. Lets show it in the schools of our country.
What's very inspiring about Dave is his consciousness. He could have had a rise and fall without his control, riding the waves just to make more money until people just didn't find him funny anymore, but him simply saying he knew things weren't right when someone laughed DIFFERENTLY? I mean... this is a man that knows his craft. And when he smells BS, he knew to walk away. Not many of us can do that, and my appreciation for him grows.
I don't understand why people would think this is an odd pairing... Dave Chappelle and Maya are accomplishing similar things using a different form of art.
I noticed a very minor detail.....she asked Dave, "May I tell u about the painting?"....She is a LEGEND yet she still was so humble and graceful enough to simply ask him b4 she imposed upon him. I sure Dave wouldnt have mind. But the respect and adoration displayed here truley tuggs at my heart strings💕💕👑💕💕💕💕👑💕💕💕👑💕💕💕💕👑
