The Chappelle Show
The episode of The Chappelle Show that featured Dave Chappelle as the "white supremacist" was hilarious! This episode was not only funny, but definitely disrupted all ideas of what a white supremacist would be like. It was genius of Chappelle to create a black character who was blind to be the white supremacist. The entire episode is based on the fact that the blind black man did not know he was black which aided to the fact that white supremacy is ridiculous. This episode was also disruptive when the white kids in the car pull up next to Chappelle blaring rap music. Chappelle screamed racial slurs at them thinking they were black, but in reality they were white and took the comments as compliments. One of the parts that stands out to me is at the end when they say the Chappelle's character finds out he's black, so he divorces his wife because she is a "N-word lover." This just reemphasizes the absurdity of racism and white supremacy.
