In this interview clip, Dave Chappelle shares a mind-blowing story about the dark history of the native American tribe that sold the island of Manhattan to the Dutch for a mere $24 in 1626. Chappelle argues that the tribe was exploited because they were not aware of the true value of their land. The conversation with Conan O’Brien sheds light on the exploitation of native Americans and raises important questions about the power dynamics of history.

Now who's crazy
But Manhattan today has that much value because the white men did something productive with it, otherwise it will be just another land like we have around South America that you can own but can’t make any money or survive from it, you just pay taxes and no one want to buy from you unless business grows around and things work around
A quick Google search says that is bs.
The Lenape, Manhattan's original inhabitants, called the island Manahatta, which means “hilly island.”
Dutch weed is worth it lmao
None of this s^^t is true. 60 Guilders in 1624, which became $24 in early 1800s journalism. Thought to be worth $50,000 in 2000 dollars.
Manhattan derives either from "rocky island" or "Island with many hills." Though some stories have it as "place where we got drunk together."
So what does clippers saying is that the Indians tried to take advantage of the white peoples stupidity. And they got burned. Shit happens
He thought we were dumb but yet he stills think indigenous peoples are Indians because he thinks Indians from India and indigenous people of America look alike 💀
Such a disappoitment Chappelle has gotten so caught up and fixated in the racism victimology scam..
If you think owning land is strange. certain parties in the U.S. government keep trying to privatize water. This would include taxing rain water that falls on your land. Look it up…2023 W.O.T.U.S. (Waters of the United States), Forbes Breaking News, ' If A Drop Of Rain Lands On Your Property'.
I thought manhattan was the word for "drunk., or to get drunk" Because the colonials traded firewater with the natives and they had got wasted together, I'm not joking.
Not actually true, Beads in Native American society represented agreements and future payments. There were also plenty of native american groups that believed in property.
Sorry but not realising that people can own land IS stupid. Perhaps they just thought it was a ridiculous and impractical amount of land to claim ownership of, but nevertheless, if you can defend it you can own it (righteously or otherwise). Why is it stupid that they did not know this? Because in all other areas of life they practiced this principle to some degree as all humans do starting with the body and working out, eventually including land already homesteaded. Thinking the rule just arbitrarily stopped there is stupid.
So my conclusion is that they probably didn't think land couldn't be owned, but just thought there's no way these guys could pull that shit off on the island of Manhattan, crazy fuckers.
Back then, it was a lot.
After all folks they already sell us water, something that covers a little over 3/4 of the earth's surface. Next it will be breathing oxygen.
Lolol the name of the chief that sold the island was Manhatten 😮
Don't be stupid folks 😂😂😂
None of what he says is true. Please don't believe anything from an individual who hasn't studied the subject.
It's almost like the European idea of culture and civilization was 5000 years more advanced than the Native American…
This is our land, but not our land to own and not our home. The Lord gave humans the world to be stewards of it. To keep his laws and to be fruitful and multiply
Blah blah blah …….. When you get tired of slandering the first Americans, You can move on to the BRITISH………. Plenty of Conquering there.
but they come around quick when they got they ass kicked out
He's clumping native Americans together but anyway.
There's a key thing that Dave Chappelle doesn't understand. Manhattan at the time was literally worth about 25 dollars for two reasons.
One, that's what they accepted it for. And two, because it wasn't developed.
It has no high value natural resources besides land and trees. It's only after the colonists establushed a colony and began exploiting what resources were there that the tribe returned, saw how nice it was and tried to get it back.
However, Europeans have a strong understanding of Private Property.
"No, we exchanged for this. You can't just get it back just because we made it better!"
Imagine someone selling you cloth and you make a coat out of it. Then the person comes to you and asks for all the coats you made from the cloth he sold you.
It wouldn't make sense, wouldn't it? You spent the labor and suffering to make the coat, he can't complain because you made something good from his otherwise worthless cloth.
This is an example of learning about and understanding points of view and cultural differences which is clearly important for social harmony. But conservative white MAGA's see no value in such – it's their way or the highway.
This where the term Indian giver come from. Very racist.
Thank goodness he’s a comedian and not a historian, or a linguist.
Just like some of our governors
Right on man hilarious funny ,,im Indian and white ,,, I realy had some issues when I learned and met myself and that weed cost 50 $ the bro down by river got better stuff and 25 $ dam white me tricks indian me ,,I got worse when tequila and whiskey got put in the mix cause we was so drunk they just took it all cause we too duck to fright
🐚
Makes sense
Ownership is irrelevant. It's the acknowledgement of all others that matters.
I thought it meant man a hater 😅
The white man, aka Esau or the Edomites, is the devil according to the Bible and God did not send Christ for them only to to so-called black aka negro who are the Tribe of Judah in the Bible same tribe as Christ and for so called Native Americans who are the tribe of Gad judah brother in the Bible with the rest of the so called southern and northern tribes of the 12 tribes who are only black people and latinos God chosen people.
We giving truth knowledge on our channel All praises to The Most High
that was really good.
The Indians were chumps.
This is why indians never advanced, they had no ambition to develop their land
so who was the idiot?
So the Massacres on Long Island that occured AFTER they SOLD their land to the Europeans for NOTHING were for what ? They Massacred them because they didn't want to give up their land.
So originally the Indians tried capitalizing off Europeans ?
There is a hierarchy of Cultural Materials must be understood before Cultural exchange can be understood, the fundamental factor that Separates Indians and non Indians from communicating, is that we are speaking from two entirely different perceptions of the world"
The name Manhattan originated from the Munsee Lenape language term manaháhtaan (where manah- means "gather",
ahtmeans "bow", and -aan is an abstract element used to form verb stems). The Lenape word has been translated as "the place where we get bows" or "place for gathering the (wood to make) bows".Of course don't forget the weed
Mr. Chappelle is an hoot! Funny funny guy. No offense taken as it's been suggested I'm a solid half a bubble off.
Chapelle was real good
I thought natives didn’t believe in owning land
Now most people can't afford to buy property in the desert, forget about buying property in Manhattan and they want to return to the ways of the Native Americans. I guess the joke is on US…
Guess white people didn't steal the land.
Another Indian lie. Native Americans knew ppl could own land, they went to war over land ALL THE TIME.😂😂😂 Dave is a smart guy, I wonder why he’s perpetuating the is nonsense 🤦♂️🤷🏻♂️🙄
