Dave Chappelle banana peel
Dave Chappelle banana peel, He may not be bananas, but he seems to be making a case for it. Christian Englander, the New Mexico man who was arrested after he threw a banana peel that hit black comic Dave Chappelle during a gig in Sante Fe on Monday, has admitted to doing the same thing to another black man two nights later.
"I did throw another banana peel last night," Englander, 30, told the Santa Fe New Mexican on Thursday.
In the second banana incident, Englander tossed the peel at a man named Jay Wills during a run-in outside of a Santa Fe bar, the New Mexican reported. The fruit feud was apparently inspired by a heated conversation the men were having about the Chappelle controversy, which many viewed as a racist act when Englander's arrest made news. Englander and Wills gave conflicting accounts of who provoked whom, but both described a fight that ended with Englander throwing a peel that landed near Wills.
It seemed fitting at that point," said Englander, a self-described artist and aspiring clown. "I was like, the irony of this situation is too much to pass up, and I probably should've just let it be."
Englander was arrested on Monday and charged with battery and disorderly conduct after throwing a banana peel that hit the "Chappelle's Show" star in the leg. Englander was reportedly drunk, and a friend of his said the banana-tossing bad boy was offended by some of Chappelle’s jokes. But police and the comedian said they believe the banana toss was a racist statement.
England denies that, even after repeating the potassium prank on another black man.He told the New Mexican that he "appreciates diversity," and claims he's thrown banana peels at people who were not black.
He said he bought a big bag of bananas for April Fool’s, which is why he had a peel on hand when he wrangled with Wills on Wednesday.
The New Mexican noted that Englander had banana peels on his front porch when he gave the newspaper a rambling interview.
