Dave Chappelle Still Explaining Himself

For a man who freaked out over the spotlight, Chappelle sure is making the rounds. To Esquire in a ten page spread:
"The bottom line was, white people own everything, and where can a black person go and be himself or say something that's familiar to him and not have to explain or apologize?"
Uh, Comedy Central? You know, the place where Chappelle had complete creative control and was praised and showered with millions for doing just that? Just a thought.

So if I understand correctly, he can't make up his mind about this?

From what I can tell, he's gone on Oprah and Inside The Actor's Studio (for two hours) and released a new concert film and given press interviews to countless outlets like Rolling Stone and Esquire to talk about how he couldn't handle all the attention. Makes sense to me.
