Dave Chapelle. He kind of went off the deep end a bit.

Yikes. From what I understand though, he grew up upper middle class. He said we always assumed that he grew up as a commoner, but that it wasn't true.

David Khari Webber Chappelle was born on August 24, 1973, in Washington, D.C.[11] His father, William David Chappelle III, was a professor of vocal performance and the dean of students at Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio.[12] His mother, Yvonne Seon (née Reed, formerly Chappelle),[13] worked for Congolese Prime Minister Patrice Lumumba,[14] is a Unitarian Universalist minister,[15] and worked as a professor and university administrator at several institutions including Wright State University and Prince George's Community College.[16] Chappelle has a stepmother and a stepbrother.[3]

He went to a HS in Georgetown - it's a public school but it's a super rich area so he probably grew up with mostly upper middle class white kids. I mean it's called "Duke Ellington School of the Arts" so you'd think it's in a black neighborhood but its actually deep in Georgetown where you don't see any (other) black people at all.
