Nah, they used Stephen colbert’s comedy wrongly even going as far as having him host the correspondence dinner
Now, they just want to let as much shh slide so they can be allowed to slide
Chapelle show outlined a lot of the hypocrisy.. but like the show Atlanta, it wasn’t convenient for the stupid.. or like the colbert report, where they weren’t smart enough to realie they were the butt of the joke

Not at all, he was quite right and ended up saving himself by keeping his dignity.

Also the fact that Comedy Central wanted to give him 50 million of the 500 million he earned for them.

Dude specifically spoke of why he canceled the show and you can see it in the few sketches that came out in that 3rd season
Or can even see the messages whoever was taking from boondocks when the season without mcgruder came out

What’s disappointing is Dave specifically references the “magic pixie” sketch and role it played in him leaving over a decade ago..
And yet here we are
http://content.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1061512-6,00.html
“The third season hit a big speed bump in November 2004. He was taping a sketch about magic pixies that embody stereotypes about the races.
The black pixie—played by Chappelle—wears blackface and tries to convince blacks to act in stereotypical ways. Chappelle thought the sketch was funny, the kind of thing his friends would laugh at. But at the taping, one spectator, a white man, laughed particularly loud and long. His laughter struck Chappelle as wrong, and he wondered if the new season of his show had gone from sending up stereotypes to merely reinforcing them. "When he laughed, it made me uncomfortable," says Chappelle. "As a matter of fact, that was the last thing I shot before I told myself I gotta take f______ time out after this. Because my head almost exploded."”

Its just like what they did with boondocks and another reason as to why McGruder left the show

And yet they are still going to use him as an excuse conveniently for their BS
Look atninjahood in here
speaking of people missing da point..
Dave Chappelle and Comedy in general are equal opportunity offenders.
you can't pick and choose what to is "crossing da line"
da Chef from south park had no problem with da show until da cross hairs was on Scientology...then he was like "im out" nah...weak sauce b.
PC culture can't dictate what your supposed to laugh at and what's outta bounds.

You Dominican or Puerto Rican?
Cause either way, maybe focus on dealing why way too many of your people refuse to admit they’re black
Let me rephrase then
Was he wrong for feeling uncomfortable and wanting to take time off when he felt people were taking the wrong messages from his work?

Comparison doesn't match. You're trying to make a comparison between an issue of racism versus PC culture.
Also nevermind the fact that he felt like that 15 years ago. He clearly doesn't care now how people respond to his jokes. Otherwise, he wouldn't tell them.

That **** goes both ways. A lot of Dominicans don't acknowledge their Blackness and a lot of Black people don't see them as Black. And I think the barrier is the Latin culture and Spanish itself. If Dominicans spoke some form of creole or patois, I think they would be accepted more here as being Black. That Spanish part is the curveball for everyone. I myself am Dominican and I acknowledge that I am part of the African diaspora because I know my history and because I descend from people with darker complexions, some of which were from Haiti or St. Kitts.
I've lived in Flushing most of my life. And I have seen Asians get disrespected and discriminated against for being Asian. I've literally heard, many times, people tell Asians in Flushing "go back to your country". Having said that, being a non-Asian in a place that has gotten progressively Asian over time, also puts you at the receiving end of their own prejudices. So before we start screaming about who's wrong and who's right, we all have to look in the mirror.

Who the F is talking about any PC culture
I’ve always spoken of aspects I didn’t think were necessary
Ive never actually met a Chinese person who acted in the manner Dave depicted, however I’ve seen that stereotypical sh he did since I first started watching tv
However, far right white folks are using the catch all phrase ‘PC’ to now be a catch all to say whatever the hell you want which is a pretty slippery slope given what they ultimately really wanna say
It’s why they get worked up about getting called cracker because they really wanna be able to say a certain word or words

Yea, race issues are complex.. even within races
A lot of people have hang ups, unfortunately
And the more I travel the more I get exposed to different races and cultures.. the more I appreciate and get and also why I try not to be quick to judge because I have no clue the struggle someone else may be going through
For example, I dated a Chinese girl here in the Bahamas.. and I never fully appreciated the sh that got said to them or about them and comfort level people feel letting that shh fly.. meanwhile we’re well aware of the racism we face and the shh white people do and say and power they wield
Also learned a crap ton on what goes on within the various Asian races and who looks down on who and all that

A lot of Asians put white ppl on pedestals.....
That's the rationalization you're going with?

Agree with Ricky there, tired of the comedians that whine about it all the time but they're still out there doing their jokes. Andrew Schulz is good for that.

After Dave left the Chapelle show he said that he didn't want to be the conduit by which white people get to laugh AT black people.
Now after this special you have clowns arguing and using his comedy as a reason to be flippant and laugh at other groups.
