Sounds like you haven't heard of the "Dave Chappelle was murdered & cloned" conspiracy theory. I recommend going down that rabbit hole.

According to this theory, the last time the real DC was ever seen was on the Oprah Winfrey Show a couple decades ago. Around that time the entertainment industry moguls were dangling a multi-million dollar offer in front of him but he saw right through it & saw the manipulative corruption in the stipulations proposed in the contract and he declined the offer.

He left on a solo vacation to Africa to escape the public eye & clear his mind, and when he came back he allegedly quietly went back to revisit the multi-million dollar offer but still wouldn't conform with their demands so...

here's where shit gets weird, consider yourself warned:

They took him down to an underground cloning lab, harvested his DNA etc to create their idea of the ideal Dave Chappelle who would appease both audience & industry, for purposes of financial gain for entertainment industry moguls & to keep audiences complacently entertained. Cloning complete, they murdered the original Dave Chapelle.

The DC we see now has a deeper voice, ripped huge muscular body, makes less controversial comedy than before, while still captivating audiences* & bringing in revenue for the entertainment industry moguls which is all they want him for.

*His most intelligent discerning fans know this isn't the real DC, and those closest to him, friends & family & close colleagues, have repeatedly reported that the current DC is NOT the same person they used to know. Literally a completely different person.

He was probably always like this to a degree. Thing to keep in mind is that political alignments when it comes to voting blocs aren't all or nothing. Even if historically Chapelle has voted democratic, that doesn't mean he cared for everything equally or at all and this applies very much to black people and racial minorities in the US and western European countries and leftist parties as those parties are seen as less racist parties so you really don't have as much leeway to vote for other issues when your safety and basic rights as a minority group are more of a concern over stuff like economic/immigration/healthcare/sexuality/gender/etc policies. Like Chapelle will dependably care for politics that are pro-black Americans but any other race, I'm skeptical he actually cares and very likely doesn't care for matters of gender and sexuality. In regards outside of social black american policies, he may very well be firmly conservative. It just wasn't good for his brand earlier in his career

Similar vein would be like the past decade of popular rappers being way more embracing of the republican party than in the past. Like Snoop Dogg, Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj. Like do Beyonce and Jay-Z really care about the working class or other races. Jay Z was a crack dealer and in the Epstein papers and Beyonce has consistently made use of sweatshop labor and been ruthless with her touring employees. Social progressives in regards to the what they identify with, conservative in regards to their money and possibly other identities.

Racism is still a problem but this isn't the 70s. It's not that surprising considering how mainstream homophobia a lot of rap used to be up to the early 2010s. So as multiculturalism continues to become more and more normal, I have expected for a long time for left/right voting splits by race to trend towards 50/50. In the past openly conservative actors/musicians/comedians/entertainers/etc were a lot more common. I'm guessing the civil rights movements going mainstream is what changed that. Then as the civil rights movements that had huge swaths of people could identify with starting passing some good enough threshold, demographic based civil rights becomes more niche and parties have to experiment with messaging and being a conservative entertainer/artist stops being career suicide

I think there should be some healthy skepticism for actors and their actual political alignments. It's been practically required for public relations for entertainers to be seen as leftist but at the studio executive and I expect at the funding source producer level, there's always been a high percentage of conservative representation. And publicly rich leftist, I've never seen them as eager to fund leftist political causes like publicly rich conservatives. Well known advocate for victims of sexual abuse, Ashton Kutcher, was quick to defend his close friend and serial rapist from that 70s Show. Stories of him and Wilmer Valderrama make them both sound predatory towards young women/girls.

Like their shouldn't be any genetic reason why white people should be more conservative across the board of polices. The same really for LGBTQ people being progressive which is why I'm never surprised about the existence of conservative people of LGBTQ backgrounds. People always mention how western European politics are so much more leftist than American but to me that only really applies to the social safety net but that doesn't apply to overall policy in regards to capitalism, immigration, foreign policy/imperialism-racism outside of their own borders. As non-white populations in European countries increase, to me it looks like race politics and racism have become more and more reflective of the US. I have doubts the social safety nets in Europe would have ever been passed if at the times their populations were as racially diverse as the US was in the 50s-80s
