There's nothing wrong with you not liking Chappelle. Of course, whether or not he's a good or bad comedian has absolutely nothing to do with the point of this thread, so really your opinion in this case is irrelevant.
Oh, my God; I care so little, I almost passed out.
My tendancy to be wary of conspiracy theories aside, I can see how people wouldn't get the whole double bluff of Chappelle lampooning black stereotypes.

I wonder if maybe his erradict behavior, fleeing the country, not showing up for the beginning of production for his thrid season had anything to do with it. hmmm

But what caused his erradict behavior? The agenda, thats what!
but the ones that were funny were really the best thing that has been on TV in terms of comedy in a long time. The Clayton Bigsby 'Black White Supremist" is just awesome.
Oh and as to this joke of a "conspiracy theory" site that i'm skimming...
There is no Omni Hotel in Buckhead. It is part of the CNN Center building.
BITCHES

i thought it was something a fan of his wrote up as a joke. he makes references to what is said in some episodes i think too. i'm fairly certain on one of the dvd's i remember him saying that people are telling him that he's setting the black race back 100 or 200 years, which is said in the webpage.
He said that on his very first show, which featured the black white supremacist skit.

Chappelle's a funny comic, but I will never understand how that show got so popular.

Oh, and thats all BS btw. If that were true, all he would have to do is show the packages he received to get people to believe him. Especially the pictures of his children sleeping.
Killing them softly is my favorite stand up of all time. The weed baby and Oscar the Grouch are simply hysterical skits. While I love Dave Chappelle, I really think that he just got freaked and left the country. I know many believe his show to be too racy, but that's why his fan base loved it. That's why you could walk down any college campus or high school building and hear a, "Rick James, bitch," or a "WWWWWhat?". It was a great show, and I wish it hadn't been canceled, but maybe the pressures of fame, as Midnyte said, just got to be too much. I couldn't imagine walking anywhere around the nation and hear my one liners and quotes said to me over and over. I think I'd go insane.
