  His show and comedy styling is a very slippery slope when it comes to race. Was Chapelle himself laughing at black people or with black people?

  • I think he was offended that these white dudes were dictating to him the type of skits he should do.Ramanisky2
  • after all, they were paying him a cool $50 milRamanisky2
  • slippery slope eh? is that what's it's called.ohhhhhsnap
  • I think so, most people are only confortable laughing at his black jokes because it comes from a black guy, but they feel conflicted, what crosses the line_niko
  • ..conflicted at what crosses the line. It's ok to laugh at yourself, the slippery slope is when is it ok for other people to laugh with you and when is the line crossed where they are laughing at you?_niko
  • ... with you and when is the line crossed where they are laughing at you?_niko
  • and i'm probably using the term slippery slope in completely the wrong context._niko
