During the stand-up set, Chappelle stated, “What part of the game is this? He ethered n***as. He didn’t say anything about any of these white boys. None of these white boys function like that.” He went on to mention that Williams, being one of the best in the game, should refrain from drawing negative images of their community.

Chappelle further commented on the nature of Williams’ remarks, emphasizing that he mainly talked about what others did to fellow Black comedians rather than addressing personal experiences. Chappelle questioned the ethics, asking, “What part of the game fks up another na’s paper? What part of the game is about telling on another n**a?”
