I wonder what the reaction would be if I made a few jokes about the holocaust or the people who died during 911


you're a jerk

While I don't have exact numbers I'd be willing to bet the number of Union soldiers who died durring the Civil War fighting for your freedom is greater than the number of slaves who died as a dirrect result of slavery. I'd say we're even.

And yes, I'm aware that the Civil War, despite popular spin, wasn't really about slavery but since you post was completely lacking in common sense I figured I might as well respond in kind.

Knee-jerk reactionism FTW!

The misconception is that the Civil War wasn't about slavery. Revisionism FTL!

Prior to January 1, 1863 it wasn't about slavery.

usually the jokes on the chappelle show are about how white people cant dance, or how white people talk. It also talks about black people. Slavery like 9/11 and the Holocaust are not joking matters on the other hand. Its unfortunate that someone with your "backround" cant distinguish that.


Thats not true, I watch him all the time, and he has this one act where he dresses up like this black man (The Character is Tyrone in Tyrone goes to School) who is a crack addict talking before a bunch of school kids. He has coke powder all over his face... He makes jokes about his character and how he defecates on the city streets, and is always looking for a fix... DO YOU WATCH THIS SHOW????


Your post makes no sense.Tyrone is not even making fun of black people its making fun of crackheads in general and if it was making fun of black people well that still backs my statement.

Whats the clayton skit got to do with anything. It doesnt make fun of black people as much as it does white people. If you guys wanted to come up with a skit abotu slavery you would use the ROOTs skit where he is being whipped. Even that I guess its ok for a black person to make fun of a movie about slavery. He wasnt directly making fun of slavery just the movie. Even if he was making fun of slavery than well daves black.

What are eyou talking about? Chappelle makes fun of black people as much as whites, if not more.



Exactly, and crackheads come in all colors, so why does he specifically choose a character that is a black man with clearly racial overtones?
