SANTA FE, N.M. — The attorney for the man accused of throwing a banana peel at comedian Dave Chappelle during a performance in Santa Fe said Monday his client isn’t a racist and that Chappelle should have to testify in the case or drop it.
Attorney Rod Thompson, who is African American, made the comments to The Santa Fe New Mexican after a status hearing before Magistrate Judge Donita Sena.
Thompson’s client, Christian Englander, who is white, is facing charges of disturbing the peace and battery after the fruit-throwing incident in March.
Englander had acknowledged throwing a peel from a banana he had eaten earlier because he took offense to jokes Chappelle, who is African American, made about his companion, according to police.

Put up chicken wire like the Blues Brothers at the country music bar.
I’m surprised Chappelle didn’t immediately move from the country and vow never to perform again.
“Several days after the Chappelle incident, Englander was accused of throwing a banana peel at another black man, Jay Willis, in Santa Fe following a fight between the two at a downtown bar.”
So we’re supposed to believe what, this guy just carries banana peels with him everywhere in case he runs into a black dude?
He’s like Ernest T. Bass only with banana peels instead of rocks.
