Ok. But what is the "cut-off" point for this? Is it when a Black person of power talks down about Black people? Marries or dates outside their race? Says something that not everyone agrees with (such as indifference to Trump)? Legit asking because the narrative changes so much on here. Like I said, off the internet this is a non factor to most people. But since I browse a lot of threads here, and enjoy different dynamics and opinions, this is a question i think has to be thought about.
I think it doesn't matter until it does is my stance,which is what allows for some people to get passes. The problem is that I think there are certain things it should just disqualify you from being able to do and discuss.
Just like with Donald Glover,he could still advocate for black people in some areas being a black person.
The problem comes when he has a white wife,but likes to create over the top caricatures of black women on his show,or show black love as disfunctional as he does on the show. How about you get yourself a white girl on the show as your love interest,and you two can be disfunctional
In Chapelles case the line should be drawn with him as somebody who is admittedly not from the hood. Portraying black folks from the hood in over the top negative light,reinforcing stereotypes need to be watched out for. I think he gives a pretty good balance in his act though,never really came off as trying to be Mike Epps or anything.
As well as the same for his show.
But for his show he 100% was c00ning,just based on the fact he knew how white his audience was. I don't believe he has the legs to stand on that Chris Rock did when he made that "nikkas vs Black people" joke. Look at the audience and its still majority black,so the joke is understood. Chapelles audience has always seemed to be if not majority white,damn near 50/50. For him to know that and make some of those skits,he SHOULD have knew he was pushing the line. And for a black man to be that unaware,that you don't realize that until some random white dude laughs too hard,tells me he was c00ning,unaware and got a wake up call he sorely needed.
But he is still a bedbuck though
