Dave Chappelle’s Michael Jackson Joke Guilt

Dave Chappelle tells Blender magazine that he feels a little guilt joking about Michael Jackson’s current child molestation case. “If Brad Pitt was in this kind of trouble, I don’t think they’d have as much fun with it,” he said, referring to the comics targetting the King of Pop relentlessly. “These Michael Jackson jokes that I do in my act now – first time in my career I’ve done Michael jokes. I always felt bad for the guy. Whenever a black person’s in trouble, as a knee-jerk reaction, I always say, ‘They’re not guilty’.”
