'I haven't seen white people this furious since OJ': Dave Chappelle mocks the hysterical reaction to Trump's win in biting, profanity-laden monologue on SNL - but says he's willing to give him a chance 

• e-mail

Comedian David Chappelle has delivered a scathing monologue in his return to television, but closed it by saying he is willing to give Donald Trump a chance.

‘You know, I didn’t know Donald Trump was going to win… I did suspect it,’ Chappelle said to start his lengthy segment.

‘I know the whites, you guys aren’t as full of surprises as you used to be.

‘But America’s done it, we’ve finally elected an internet troll as President.

'You know, I didn’t know Donald Trump was going to win… I did suspect it,’ Chappelle said in his SNL monologue. ‘I know the whites, you guys aren’t as full of surprises as you used to be'

‘And white people were furious, Never seen anything like it. Haven't seen whites this mad since the OJ verdict.'

‘I haven’t seen this before… I watched a white riot in Portland, Oregon, the other night. The news said they did a million dollars worth of damage, all the black people were watching like, “amateurs”.’

‘So, I’m going to take a knee like [Colin] Kaepernick and let the whites figure this out amongst themselves.'

Chappelle, who continued to smoke throughout the show, then turned his attention to other to other issues across the country.

Kate McKinnon opened the show before kicking it over to Dave Chappelle (pictured), for his monologue

'Don't forget all the things that are going on. Shootings. What do you think about that? All these shootings the last year. The worst mass shootings in the history of the United States,' he said.

'Pulse nightclub which they said ISIS did. Turned out that wasn't exactly what happened. 

If that is what happened, then ISIS is scarier than I thought, because they have very deep cover operatives. "Going out deep for this one, I might have to get a Grindr account...".

'What happened was he pledged allegiance to ISIS before he did what he did. Which is not the same as being in ISIS, you know what I mean?

‘But America’s done it, we’ve finally elected an internet troll as President,' Chappelle said during his opening monologue

Chappelle closed his opening comments by saying: 'I'm wishing Donald Trump luck. And I'm going to give him a chance. And we, the historically disenfranchised, demand that he give us one too'

'Like I was going to have sex with a girl, right before I did I screamed out "Wu-Tang". That doesn't mean I'm in the Wu-Tang clan.'

Chappelle then pivoted again in the skit, switching to the serious topic of police shootings of black people.

'Why do we have to say that black lives matter?' the comedian asked the crowd.

'Now I admit that is not the best slogan. But McDonald's already took, "You deserve a break today".

'And I guess it's kind of catchy because everyone else is biting it. Even the police bite it. "Blue lives matter". 

'What, was you born a police? That is not a blue life, it's a blue suit. You don't like it? Take that blue suit off, find a new job.'

He then turned back to politics to close the monologue by telling a story about his recent visit to the White House. 

Chappelle teamed up with fellow comedian Chris Rock for the opening skit of the night on SNL

The skit was staged in a living room with four white people and two black people watching the election night results together

'Everyone there was black and it was beautiful... At the end of the night everyone went into the west wing of the white house and it was a huge party,' he said.

'Now, I'm not sure if this is true, but to my knowledge the first black president that was officially invited to the white house was Frederick Douglass. 

'They stopped him at the Gates. Abraham Lincoln had to walk out himself and escort Frederick Douglass into the White House. It didn't happen again as far as I know until Roosevelt was president.

'Roosevelt was president, he had a black guy over. And got so much flack from the media that he literally said, I will never have a n****r in this house again.'

Chappelle then moved his monologue back to Trump's election win.

Saturday Night Live has opened in sombre fashion, with Kate McKinnon’s Hillary Clinton character performing Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah to start the show

'I looked at that black room... These people who had been historically disenfranchised,' he said. 

'It made me feel hopeful and it made me feel proud to be an American and it made me very happy about the prospects of our country.

'So, in that spirit, I'm wishing Donald Trump luck. And I'm going to give him a chance. And we, the historically disenfranchised, demand that he give us one too.' 

Chappelle then teamed up with Chris Rock for the opening skit of the night, which was staged in a living room with four white people and two black people watching the election night results together.

Chappelle and Rock skewered their white friends in the skit as they gradually came to the realization Trump was winning the election, and tried to justify how the Republican pulled it off.

Alec Baldwin's Donald Trump character did not make an appearance during the opening segment

The Emmy-winner appeared to get emotional during some of the more poignant moments in the song, many that could be related to Clinton’s election defeat at the hands of Donald Trump this week

'Oh my god. I think America is racist,' one of the performers said.

'You know, I remember my great grandfather told me something like that. But he was like a slave or something, I don't know,' Chappelle deadpanned back.

'I can't believe it. Why aren't people turning out for Hillary the way they did for Barack Obama?' another performer said.

'I mean, maybe because you're replacing a charismatic 40-year-old black guy with a 70-year-old white woman. That's like the Knicks replacing Patrick Ewing with Neil Patrick Harris,' Rock replied. 

The comedian then revived some of his most famous characters from the Chappelle Show in a skit poking fun of The Walking Dead.

Chappelle poked fun at the Walking Dead in another skit, dressing up as the show's villain and attacking old characters from the Chappelle Show

Tyrone Biggums, played by Chappelle, has his head knocked off with the baseball bat, however his body recovered the head before it was smashed - which would have mimicked the Walking Dead

Clayton Bigsby, another Chappelle Show character, was brought back in the skit. Bigsby was a black white supremacist on the Chappelle Show, and on SNL he wore a Donald Trump hat

Two other popular Chappelle Show characters brought back for the skit were the Playa Haters

The bit poked fun of the show's villain, Negan, who bashed a character's head in with a baseball bat in the season premiere last month.

Chapelle played the role of Negan, as well as his old characters: Clayton Bigsby, Lil Jon, Tyrone Biggums, and others.

'Negan' tried to recreate the Walking Dead scene by knocking Biggums' head off with one swing, however the severed head then managed to avoid all the follow up swings and wound up back with his body. 

Chappelle's performance came after the show opened in somber fashion, with Kate McKinnon’s Hillary Clinton character performing Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah to start the show.

McKinnon wore one of Clinton’s trademark white pantsuits as she played the late-Cohen’s iconic song on piano in-front of the studio audience.

‘I’m not giving up, and neither should you,’ McKinnon said, before kicking the show over to comedian Dave Chappelle for his opening monologue

Alec Baldwin's Donald Trump character did not make an appearance during the opening segment. 

However, after reaching the end of the song, McKinnon closed with a positive message.

‘I’m not giving up, and neither should you,’ McKinnon said, before kicking the show over to comedian Dave Chappelle for his opening monologue.
