Chapelle is FAR from the only person doing it, and even farther from being the worst offender.

Understood that chapelle is not the only person doing it. Just because others do it too that makes it right? Also please quote me where I said he was the WORST offender. Not that him being the worst or most mild makes any kind of difference.

If you seriously think his show is BAD for race relations, I want you to back that up with something- because I don't buy it for a second. If you want, go start a thread somewhere. You don't think it helps break down some walls of misconceptions, help introduce laughter in a way that eases odd situations? I think it uses satire to help everyone laugh about what they're so hung up on, and can help people understand the absurdities of racial bigotry... because we're all funny in our ways, and what makes us different is exactly what makes us all great. We don't want everyone in the world to be the same, that'd be boring as hell.

Break down walls of misconceptions? LoL His show creates more misconceptions about different walks of lifes than anything. (I won't go into that but I will start a thread on examples if someone else is interested.) Last part about everyone being the same would be boring...Agreed. Just not seeing the connection to what ANY of my arguements were.

This coming from the guy who says parents are responsible for children & their gaming habits?

..Umm, last I thought, parents are responsible for their children. And if they believed that a game promoted violence within their child, then just simply do not allow them to play it.

I am sorry man, you cannot have it both ways. By your own argument in the other thread, the parents of a 12 years old child (in your scenario) should be responsible for letting them be influenced by Chappelle in such a manner. Chappelle is not at fault, just as you argue video games are not.

I'm sorry I just believe that a show of the caliber of chapelle's, being placed directly after a cartoon on a station called Comedy Central, that is very popular amongst teens and younger kids has a significant amount of more influence and impact towards a childs manner and attitude than a game where you shoot aliens by sneaking up on them and getting a H/S.
Again, I never said chapelle was 100 percent at fault and is the sole influence on our culture and society. He just doesn't help the situation.
But, I do see where someone saying "I'm Rick James Bitch" about 15 times in a 4 minute skit could be hilarious and that individual could be considered a genious. *sigh*
