This link is to a video from one of my favorite comedians, Dave Chappelle. Basically in this video there is a draft where the different races get to choose different important people from around the world. This video pushes stereotypes and makes fun of all races. Dave does a great job of making fun or everyone. Some funny examples that the video shows are Tiger Woods getting chosen by the black people, then he looses all of his endorsement deals because of being black. Another good one is when the Jews choose Lenny Kravitz, then they say he's not there and that he's in Miami Beach, and how he must of gotten the news of being Jewish early. The video touches many different races. They also make the characters look to the extreme of that racial group. Dave Chappelle is probably one of the best racial comedians there is.
Dave Chappelle is an amazing comedian and he is extremely offensive. The funny thing about it is that hes offensive to everyone so no one ever gets offended by him...if that makes sense.
ReplyDeleteIf I am not mistaken we had a discussion on the board on blackboard about this last week, Ive seen it and I think its funny, especially when the white people pick
ReplyDeleteI remember seeing this posted on the discussion board for class, and it was interesting because although it did portray certain racial stereotypes, it seemed like a good example of how humour can sometimes make it easier for people to discuss issues that can be controversial or offensive in some way.
