Dave Chappelle reportedly visited his old high school to speak to pupils days before Thanksgiving, encountering a mixed response from the student body.

On Tuesday, Chappelle stopped by D.C.'s Duke Ellington School of the Arts to take part in a Q&A session with staff and 580 students,. He also handed out 600 Thanksgiving meals and tickets to a screening of his new film"Untitled" - a documentary about putting on a live comedy show while grappling with the pandemic and the aftermath of George Floyd's murder.

Dave Chappelle performs to a sold out crowd onstage at the Hollywood Palladium on March 25, 2016 in Los Angeles, California.According to two students who related the conversation to Politico the following day, Chappelle responded:"My friend, with all due respect, I don't believe you could make one of the decisions I have to make on a given day."

Politico also reported that the two students it had spoken to said that Chappelle responded to the students' questions with jokes or laughter. When one pupil left the Q&A early, Chappelle said:"Of course she left early." Sims apparently told the website that the student who had left the room"couldn't even entertain the idea of a conversation." It is unclear whether the student in question had been in conversation with Chappelle before her exit.

This story is stupid…

He is black, he can use the N word as a comedian if he wants.

Every rapper since the 80s uses the N word….why is this news?

Remember, the media describes 'mixed response' as 3 people booing and 30 cheering.

I saw several people testifying of how they made financial profits with the help of Kimberly Alexander from crypto trading, and I decided to give it a try and now I'm happy for getting my payout earning $15k profits from crypto trading. Dm her now thekimal and get started

I’m pretty sick of him.
