I think it's time that we admit the truth about the Chappelle Show

It was one of the biggest displays of c00nery in recent T.V. history. Yeah it was funny but it doesn't take away from that fact. I think it is time we all come to grips with this. That is all.

Yeah it was some c00nery. But a lot of that shyt was hilarious tho. The episode when DC played the blind white supremacist made me feel uncomfortable and the "nygger" family made me uncomfortable too

why you think dave went crazy and flew out to Africa

 

[machiavelli]

Yea. I think that's why he went crazy.

I think everyone figured that out with the first episode and the black white supremacist.

Trying to navigate around that episode and what it meant in an all white school was rough. It was blatant ckoonery.

 

[GetInTheTruck]

That's why he stopped.

Yea. I think that's why he went crazy.

I thought it was because he's eating Peking Duck every night?

Exactly. He felt that white folks started to laugh at black folks instead of laughin with us

 

[thoushallhustle]

I never thought it was that funny to begin with. Highly overrated

 

[GetInTheTruck]

Why does he have to be crazy though?

racial humor can be and was, in chappelle's case, funny as shyt. the problem is that people start to look at it like reality, like in an all white high school with kids yellin "HOWDY nikkaR". as long as everyone realizes that its meant to provide a grave situation with levity, and not an accurate depiction of racial identity or existence, it's no problem. unfortunately, people in our present state can't handle that en masse, which has been pointed out as the reason for him (rightly) canceling the show.

so i don't agree that it was "c00nery". it was funny and irreverent and for a very brief time was able to exist in a place of clarity, until it went global, which is always what ruins purity anyway.
