Dave Chappelle Jokes About White People Not Being 'Good' Presidents On Michelle Obama's Podcast
Though Barack and Michelle Obama are both well known for a lot of things and many impressive accomplishments, since they departed the White House in 2017, Michelle's podcast has to be one of the biggest things she's done.
Earlier this week, on her podcast, In My Opinion, which she hosts with her brother, Craig Robinson, she sat down with Dave Chappelle, the famous and controversial comedian. The two talked about a variety of subjects, yet focused for a long time on the state of the media, community, shifts in his career, and more. However, things really seemed to heat up when he began talking about President Trump and everything going on with his eventful second term.
At one point, he started talking about how he's trying to help his 16-year-old daughter, who was born under the Obama administration, deal with all the "appalling" headlines of today's political climate, noting he feels it "doesn't seem like it's ever going to end."
"My daughter is 16, so Donald Trump is, like, the first white president she's ever seen," he said, to which Michelle responded while grinning, "I know, right?"
"And my baby's like, 'Oh no — they're not good at it, Daddy," he continued while laughing with the host.
Dave Calls The Current Political Climate 'Insufferable'
Though the best-selling author didn't chime in too much while her podcast guest made the insinuating comment about white presidents, mostly laughing at the humor in his words, she did allow him to lean in and vent about his feelings towards what's going on in American politics right now.
At one point, the 52-year-old performer mentioned how much community helps him get through it all, giving listeners advice on how to deal with the stress as well.
"My community coming together and in tough times - our family, we have had tremendous losses recently, people in our family passed away, and the community picked us up," he said. "That made me hopeful. The little things mean so much more now."
"And I would want to remind anybody that's listening to this show: Man, that smile that you muster when it hurts to smile is priceless right now," he continued. "Anything you can do to let each other know you're safe, that you're okay, it means everything right now, because otherwise this is intolerable. It's insufferable what's happening right now."
After listening to his sentiments, the former first lady nodded her head and echoed, "I'm hopeful too."
