Its not about Selling out. Its about using your leverage.

Ya'll seem to think rich people are just "smart" people or something.

These are entertainers and a lot of them aren't as intellectually thorough as they portray themselves to be. This isn't to say that Dave is an idiot, but dudes like that in retrospect tend to have some serious unconfronted issues and hangups.

He seems to hate the industry, he shiits on the industry every chance he gets. They was giving him 50 million, but I bet things was going to get a lot more corporate and more high profile. It doesn't seem like anything else. He never made it about anything else.

Whats funny is that (not trying to "c00n" here) Burr married a black woman.

And he's one of the most honest about white people (eg his bit about being ashy) and a huge Chappelle fan. If I'm not mistaken Dave and/or Neal speak pretty fondly of him on the Season 2 commentary (racial draft sketch, i believe). This was before the incident of course.

I think the part where he talks about how someone laughed at his jokes says it all.

I think his integrity hit him. People were laughing AT him rather than with him. And I think I know the people he was talking about.
He was probably talking about Bill Burr... Hahaha

There was only like two white people on his show (Neal and Bill Burr)

I honestly think it was the pressure, only because it looked like it/his actions
