How could she resist his charms? Another benefit to not watching television. I have no recollection of seeing that guy before.

I wonder if he revived his stereotype pimp character. Maybe he went full racist and went with blackface this time around.

Ok, first off, I know literally nothing about this guy. But from what I read in the article, he does sound like a real creep.

But, the pupose of this post is to address the whole, racist-black face thing. Why is it that when Dave Chappelle puts on white face and acts like a sterotypical white guy that it is just comedy, but if a white guy dresses up in black face and acts like a sterotypical black guy, then he is a racist? And don't get me wrong here, I absolutely love Dave and the Chappelle Show. But I have seen this before with a comedian who is white, uses black face, and does sterotypical black voices for comedic effect. People called him a racist. I just don't understand the logic here. It seems like a bit of a double standard. Any thoughts?

And sorry to get off topic, I just thought that this was a valid question.

I take it to be a question of origins. Blackface came about with minstrel shows. Minstrel shows were racist. Whiteface didn't come from an inherently racist genre. Ergo, whiteface is less racist (I wouldn't say always not racist. Let's see how many times I can say racist in a pithy forum post! Also, Glenn Beck) than inherently racist blackface.

Also, if you remember Bamboozled, black people can get in trouble for using blackface too. Even if they're probably using it ironically. That actually wasn't a bad movie, I thought. Just playing with fire.

Also, I need Chappelle, again.

Ok, fair enough. I've just wondered about this.

But, for instance, if it is done merely for comedic effect along the lines of the stuff that Chappelle does, could it not be considered racist? Why not just laugh at it and enjoy the humor instead of bringing up it's history?

Also, I need Chappelle, again, too. God I wish he would come back for more shows. Too bad he had to be greedy. He was a funny motherfucker. A black, blind, white-supremecist...lololol! And one who divorces his wife after finding out he is black because she is a N.. Lover :lol: :lol: I really do miss that show.

Point of order: T'was not greed that ended the show. Chappelle was offered retarded money to continue doing Chappelle's Show, and declined.

He's not a racist. Simmons just can't handle the fact that he busted his corrupt left wing organization. He's also not a misogynist as he was actually trying to prove that CNN is selling sex. I think this project was obviously not planned well though since the cat came out of the bag. And I just browsed the article, but I wouldn't have advised the project in the first place. He is looking a little nutty at this point. Also all of the networks sell sex in all facets of their programs (Sometimes I'm hearing football highlights read of by chicks that barely know that there are 4 downs in the game of football). I have no idea what he really thought he could accomplish there.

psh, I don't watch too much news. They are always leaned to one side, and I don't feel like listening to it.

Plus, half of what they talk about is just pure crap, not even news.

Are you talking about me, or is there someone named Simmons in this story somewhere? If you are talking about me, what the hell are you going on about? What is "my left wing organization", and who exactly has "busted" it (or was that me?), and for what?

note: I'm not trying to cause a fuss, I'm genuinely confused.

Ah, I was under the impression that he demanded more money and didn't get it, so didn't want to continue the show. Thanks for correcting me. :)

What happened to Mr. Chappelle is the same thing that happened to Richard Prior. He took a trip to Africa, and when he came back, racism wasn't funny anymore.
If I remember accurately, Mr. Chappelle turned down $45 million dollars+ by not finishing the final episodes of the 3rd season. His writing partner for the Dave Chappelle Show still got paid however, because he didn't quit. The network let them go under good relations in hope that he may return in the future and make more Chappelle Show.

I don't want to say "stupid," but speaking as a reformed comedian I can tell you that he's not funny.

He's a poor man's Dave Chappelle. At least he's off Comedy Central. It took long enough.
