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

[EQ.]

are there that many Black TV shows that do not or did not have anyform of c00nery involved? If so i would enjoy a list so i can watch them.

 

[re'up]

The truth for me, was that it was funny....a handful of skits were really good, namely Rick James and the KKK one, however, that shyt just got way out of hand, I was over the Rick James skit weeks later, people were quoting that for years....people just drove all those skits and quotes into the ground...

Why does he have to be crazy though?

He doesn't have to be crazy but the brotha gets no respect from me for putting that hot on tv, then gaining a conscious, running to Africa(I wonder if he took his Asian wife with him ) coming back on some faux enlightened tip. Dude is a weirdo. I knew something was wrong with that nygga when I saw him "You've Got Mail" with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan

he said that he was being told to do shyt by white people and it got to a point where he felt like he was comprising himself. Watch the oprah interview.

Some of those skits are just downright wrong imo.... Racist white people laugh at them and think it's okay because a black dude wrote the skit. I don't think that was Dave's intention.

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.

the thread seems like a spin off from the DJANGO thread


still a good thread....and I agree....and I think Dave did too..and thats why he left and went to Africa

Black Bush and keeping it real goes wrong.


You want me to give you a little soft shoe.......

hating on Chappelle ?

 

[CouldntBeMeTho]

Everything is fukking c00ning to you guys. Dave has always done racial comedy in his standup. He went crazy from all the attention he was getting. He couldnt go anywhere without motherfukkers yelling shyt like "WHAT!" "OKAY!" "WHAT!"

no lie I was in Yellowstone national park (i worked there for a couple summers), and Dave Chappelle came through the hotel. Even there, in the middle of fukking nowhere people were doing the lil john shyt to him, and crowding around him.

The Chappelle show was FARRRRR from c00nery. It was comedic-Satire

He did a brilliant job at educating people who didn't give a f*ck about education by playing into the negative sh*t that they did care about. Chris Rock tells a lot of socially aware jokes too, but wasn't as successful with a younger audience as Dave was because of the way he approached it. Dave went "crazy" because he was reaching a wide audience and slowly, but surely forcing them to ask questions they wouldn't normally ask. Like the famous saying goes: it's not the people inside the church who needs saving. If he would have been doing the things he was doing without actually dropping jewels THEN it would have been c00nery, but there was clearly a method to his madness. Dave is FARRRR from crazy; he knew exactly what he was doing, but when the powers that be caught on to what he was doing that's when sh*t got "crazy", You don't get offered 50mil without having some very powerful people interested in you. If you watch some of his interviews post-Chappelle show when he talks about "crossing an economic threshold" and things of that nature you can read between the lines.

So if Dave was c00nin' how do you describe what those cornball brothers Key and Peele are doing?
