I agree but Dave Chappelle also says constantly “I am not from the hood, people think I am” in his specials / have done bits about not being able to relate to black ppl who grew up poor.

When chappelle talks about the hood in his stand up he always describes being taken there and that’s always been a part of the comedy. He also is very clear about growing up with white people and has a lot of jokes about his experience growing up with white people. Not defending him or anything and I agree that his Tyrone biggums character is a manifestation of his wealth and punching down on poor black people.

I just think that it’s all kind of a part of the joke, he’s our avatar that can speak to whiteness because he’s in their spaces.

I read the accent as a southern black accent, especially considering where he’s from. I really don’t think it’s a hood accent, I think it’s just a distinctively black older person one. Which is a part of the comedy

But yeah the skits have more poor punching down
