If the rest of his routine was as funny and direct as his opening joke I can see why so many people got mad, I heard that he made fun of everybody during the show.

The thing about Dave Chapelle is that getting twisted over his jokes makes you the punchline

Chappelle always sucked at stand up.

Is that the reason all the other comedians look up to him?

I think the more you make a topic a sacred cow, the more ripe it is for comedy. I don't actually find Dave Chapelle funny, but that's a separate issue.
