Welcome to Black Perspective and Introspection; One of the best places in the Blogsphere to find insight from a Black perspective not beholden to White America.
Chappelles comments on Bush and white folk pails in comparison to some of the ignorance espoused on his show about Black men and women. He like many Black comedians are put front and center by white folk as a specialist and a spokes persons on issues pertaining to Black men and women. This is no coincidence; this has been something white folk have done for decades. Malcolm once pointed out how when white folk looked for a Black opinion they would get a Black comedian to offer that opinion and put him on stage with an educated white person who essentially makes him look like a fool. This same phenomena can be witnessed with Chris Rock as well especially in his foolish stand up routine Black people versus Niggers where he equate criminal behavior for the most with a Black person being a Nigger. White folk loved him after that and his phone has not stopped ringing since.
