chappelle is racist? news to me. because i watch the show, and i swear he points out the shortcomings of both blacks and whites. sure, playing the race card to fall back on comedy can be tasteless at times, yet when other comedians did it before his time, such as richard pryor, they are hailed as comedic geniuses. for all we know, he's paying a simple homage to these pioneers of comedy.

sorry to put you on the spot again mosh, just trying to get a better understanding of the subject. but is that a direct quote? the best i can find pertaining to that issue is this quote:
Blender: You talk about race, this country's great unspoken topic.

Dave Chappelle: It's hilariously unspoken ... you know who goes through it and no one talks about it? Poor white people. Poor white people feel like they're supposed to be rich. That's why they always sound crazy -- like 'Ni**ers are taking all the jobs at Burger King.' Alright, you sound like a f**king idiot right now ...

the reason im so interested in this is it has become a topic of conversation amongst some friends, and we pretty much came to consensus that he actually isnt racist, its all part of his shtick. any more light you could shed would be greatly appreciated.

edit: also found this quote:
Blender: Eminem has said that if he were black, he'd be only half as successful.If you were white,would you be twice as big?

Dave: "If I were white,I'd be 10 times more famous.And I would be considered the biggest racist ever."

i interpret that as sometimes we as a society have double-standards, and whats accetable for one race may not be acceptable to another race. and he's pointing out the unfair truth about that.

Direct quotes below. You made me find the damn magazine. 😛

Blender interviewer: Eminem has said if he were black he's be only half as successful. If you were white, would you be twice as big?
Chappelle: If I were white, I'd be 10 times more famous. And I would be considered the biggest racist ever.

I interpret that as him admitting he is racist and he can get away with it because he is black.

agreed

dude admits he's racist too :roll:

That's why it's funny.

And yet... it's still not funny.

Is it hard to comprehend different things are funny to different people? Should we take everything off TV you don't find funny? Obviously, A LOT OF PEOPLE people do, or they wouldn't have renewed the show.

for the people who think he's not funny... what do you consider to be funny? "a white merry christmas with charlie brown"?

Sophistication, Wit, Sarcasm, Dry. Not a big fan of slapstick or race comedy. I am sure he is funny to some people, just not me.
Click to expand...

I don't find race comedy funny, for the most part. Slapstick just isn't funny either.
 
Hes not a racist. He just finds stereotypes to be funny. His brand of comedy pokes fun at the absurdity of stereotypes, it doesn't promote them as truth, although it does recognize that stereotypes exist for a reason.

Everyone talks of the Rick James/Wayne Brady skits, which were hilarious in their own right. But the Prince skit was hilarious as well (was the episode after Rick James).

"Pancakes."

Hey folks, he is saying that if he were white, the things he says about blacks would make him the biggest racist ever. He is saying that he can get away with cutting down blacks only because he is black, and if a white person did it, they would be deemed racist....

i just wanted to clarify that. and the stuff he says about white people is true.
