Dave Chappelle fires back after backlash over his Saudi Arabia show.
Says no one ever had a problem with Saudi money until “a black man” made “money off the plantation.”
“The United States government does business with the Saudis. Netflix does business with Saudis, everyone. Saudis financed tons of movies. I see them financing boxing matches and all these things.”
“And none of these things were an issue until I went there.”
“Now, why is that? As soon as a black man can make money off the plantation, they try to tell you that the money is dirty.”
FULL EXCHANGE BELOW:
REPORTER: “US intelligence did make it clear that they believe that the Saudis killed Jamal Khāshqujī in the embassy in Turkey. And you knew that when you went, right?”
CHAPPELLE: “Oh, absolutely.”
REPORTER: “You had no qualms?”
CHAPPELLE: “I won’t say that. They asked me to go years before that, and I said no for that very reason.”
“Since that time, the United States government does business with the Saudis. Netflix does business with Saudis, everyone. Saudis financed tons of movies. I see them financing boxing matches and all these things.”
“And none of these things were an issue until I went there.”
“Now, why is that? As soon as a black man can make money off the plantation, they try to tell you that the money is dirty. Well, okay, I’ll go home and spend the money with actual slave owners on it. Where is this clean money you’re talking about?”
REPORTER: “But you said you hesitated for years to go. There are years you didn’t go. So what made the difference for you?”
CHAPPELLE: “Time. Time and circumstance. Time. And the wheels of commerce kept turning.”
“If you want to be that pure about money, then stop driving your car, stop eating, don’t use your cell phone. Everything is tethered to something that’s just terrible.”
“And I can make a million excuses or reasons to deprive that crowd of that show, but, man, when I was standing in front of them, I feel like I did the right thing.”

🚨WATCH: Woodbrige Officer runs up and uses LETHAL force on male suspect with baseball bat
I support law enforcement 100%, most officers put their lives on the line and do the job the right way. But situations like this hurt the badge and break public trust.
Accountability matters, because one bad decision can make good cops look bad.

NEW: FedEx driver who is accused of abducting and strangling a seven-year-old girl, puts his face in his hand as a photo is displayed of him driving her to her death.
7-year-old Athena Strand was seen standing behind Tanner Horner in his FedEx truck.
Athena was allegedly snatched by Horner when he was delivering a Barbie doll to her home in Paradise, Texas.
Horner initially claimed that he accidentally hit the girl with the truck before "panicking" and pulling her into the vehicle.
He said he then strangled her in the vehicle and dumped the body 7 miles from the home.
The photo, however, shows that Athena was alert in the truck and did not appear to have been struck by the truck.
Wise County District Attorney James Stainton says the jury will see footage on the day of the killing, depicting the moment Athena was strangled to death.
"Somebody covered up the camera because they don't want you to see. Guess what? Audio is still running, and you're going to hear it. You're going to hear what a 250-pound man can do to a 67-pound child," he said.
"And when I say it's horrible, I mean it. I've been doing this for 25 years, and I promise you, buckle up."
Horner qualifies for the death penalty.

San Jose, California.
Two suspects engaged in a crime spree that spanned from Sacramento to San Jose and involved multiple other jurisdictions. The suspects were initially unknown, but were later identified as 30-year-old Muhammed Hussein and 29-year-old Edward Macias.
Was it a good thing that police officer finished the job before going to check ?
