Interesting. A nice little conspiracy. The first thing I recalled reading this was in the movie "RAW" (Eddie Murphy's stand-up concert movie) he talked about how Cosby called him.
There is probably truth that the people mentioned in the article were indeed upset with his act, however some of the details sounded overly paranoidal. And in the intro the writer says he wasn't writing for Chappelle, yet he knew some very initmate details.
I find there maybe some truth in it, but overall I have a great inclination to believe this is pure fiction. People love a great conspiracy story and this would explain Chappelle's breakup.
You need look no further than when Whoopie started out doing her onstage routines playing a crackhead, or "In Living Color" where Wayans decimated everyone listed on that list and had a far bigger audience when doing it.
I always thought Chappelle's show was a modern take of "In Living Color" and less superior.
On the other hand it could be the people who took down Dave, are holding "In Living Color"'s syndi rights and preventing it from being played anywhere it would get seen again.
This has picqued my interest, though.
