"Chappelle stated, 'Now why is that? As soon as a Black man can make money off the plantation, they try to tell you the money is dirty. Well okay, I'll go home and spent the money with actual slave owners on it.'"
"'If you wanna be that pure about money, then stop driving your car, stop eating, don't use your cellphone. Everything is tethered to something that's just terrible,' Chappelle remarked."
"'Since that time, the United States government does business with the Saudis, Netflix does business with the Saudis. Everyone—the Saudis financed tons of movies,' Chappelle explained."
Dave Chappelle addressed criticism regarding his performance in Saudi Arabia, particularly in light of the Jamal Khashoggi incident. He initially declined to perform due to ethical concerns but changed his stance after observing the U.S. and corporations engaging with Saudi Arabia without issue.

He argued that if purity in money is the standard, then one must reject all modern conveniences tied to questionable sources.
